HOW's Your Stomach z

Undue enlargement of the stomach in.
dictates dangerous condition. 1t is often
caused by overeating and drinking. The
muscles which propel the food to the intes.
tines become weak. The food accumulates,
is improperly digested, and the stomach is
distended to enormous size. An inactive
liver is one of the causes, and constipation
and nerve trouble is sure to result.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills
give tone to the weak propelling muscles of
the stomach and intestines. They produce
natural movement of the bowels and avoid
the formation of gas, which. if retained,
produces symptoms of sef-poisoning.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills
cure constipation as if by magic. They
regulate the functions of the liver. If your
eyes are clouded without cause, if you
have specks and floating objects before
your vision, use Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills, and get the poisonous
elements out of your blood. Physicians
use and recommend. They form no habit.
You should always keep them on hand.
These little Vegetable Pills viii ward off
many ills.

with terrible eczema. being a mass OF
sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During that

10 YEAR OLD BOY
LIGHTS GAS FOR
FIRST TIME, DIES

HAMMOND, Ind, Oct. 11-After
undressing in the dark for more
than 10 years because of an uncon-
querable fear he would be asphyx-
lated, Fred Click. 10 years old, lit
the gas in his bedroom for the first
time and was found dead the next
morning from the effects of fumes
of Illuminating gas.
Because of an innate terror of
death from asphyxiation which had
possessed him since. his childhood,
when playmate died as result of
turning on the gas, Click had never
before in his life turned on a gas Jet.
Although not believer in pre-
destination, Click lived in mortal
terror that some DAY ne would be
asphyxiated and often confided his
fears to his relatives and friends. ~
