DROPSY TREATED FREE
Franklin Miles, Nj. d., LII. b., the
Well Known Heart Specialist,
Will Sent 1918 Worth of
His New Treatment Free.
Many "HOpeless" Cases Cured After
) to 20 Doctors Failed.

At first no disease is apparently
more harmless than dropsy, little
swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet,
ankles, or abdomen. Finally there
is great shortness of breath, smoth-
ering spells, sitting up to breathe,
cough, faint spells, sometimes nau-
sea and vomiting, even bursting of
the limbs and a lingering and a
wretched death if the dropsy is not
removed.
DR.. Miles has been known as a
leading specialist in these diseases
for &c years. His liberal offer is
certainly worthy of serious consid-
GRAFTON. Another opportunity may
hot occur.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment con-
sists of three dropsy remedies in
one, also Tonic Tablets, and Pura-
LaXa for removing the water. This
treatment is specially prepared for
each patient and is at least ten
times as successful as that of most
physicians. 1t usually relieves the
first day and removes swelling in
six days in most cases.
Mr.. r. Burfford. BanniSter, Mich,
tapped every week. Cured after
four physicians failed. Mrs. Olive
c. Van Leeren, Fairport, N. Y, says.
''The swelling in my limbs went
down the first day and night after
began taking your treatment and
has never returned" Miss Lieu
Baldwin, Cridersville, o., cured after
being confined in bed four months.
Mrs. Elvina Sonders, Decatur, Nebr.,
aged Il years, suffered 80 years.
Cured after 10 physicians failed. Mr..
John T. Alexander, Elwood, ILL.,, cur
ed after failed. Many other cures
sent upon request.
All afflicted readers may have DR..

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alasl the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and 1t was not
all baking powder, for the bulk Of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light.
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, II requires from
two or three times as much TO raise cakes
or biscuits as it does Of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, Of cheap baking powders. Is moro
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes vel
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable
They are not always Of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate In price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and Is certainly the most
economical after all.
