AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many CatharticS Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than consti-
patton. They in no way effect a cure
and their tendency is to weaken the
already weak organs with which they
come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith IN it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user a cent
if it does not give entire satisfaction
and completely remedy constipation.
This preparation is called Rexall Or
derlies. These are prompt, soothing
and most effective in action. They are
made of a recent chemical discovery.
Their principal ingredient is odorless,
tasteless and cOlorless. Combined
with other we'll known ingredients,
long established for their usefulness in
the treatment of constipation, it forms
a tablet which is eaten Just like candy.
They may be- taken at any time, either
day or night, without fear of their
causing any inconvenience whatever.
They do not gripe, purge nor cause
nausea. They act without causing any
pain or excessive loOseness of the bow
els. They are ideal for children, weak,
delicate persons and aged people as
well as for the most hearty person.
They come in twO-size packages-12
tablets 10 cents, SO tablets 25 cents
Remember you can obtain them only
at our store-The Rexall Store-the

and Market streets, Celina, o.

Farewell Surprise
rendered the Brooks

Last Friday evening, the gath, "A
merry crowd numbering l0l gathered
at the homo OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ii. NJ.
Brock, few miles west Of this city,
and gave them complete surprise.
And no wonder. They came swoopinR
down on them whom the Brooks we're
busy with their evening chores, and
helped by way OF supper. And sup
per II surely was. All the chickens,
pies and cake, and all that goes to
make feast for king was surely to
be found on that table, and every one
seemed to have n good appetite. and
there was enough and to spare.
Mr.. Brock will move next week on
the farm he bought in the south part
of the county, the place on which he
spent his boyhood days. The Brooks
have lived on the Dave Hellwarth
farm for ten years, and the great out
pouring of neighbors and friends on
the eve of their departure was a tribute
TO their worth that must have been
pleasing to those in whose honor they
gathered.

Wonder of Blood TRANSMISSION.

There is nothing more dramatic in
surgery than TRANSMISSION of blood
to see the patient take on the rosy
hue of health, waken out of his leth-
argy, show an immediate live interest
in his surroundings and actually re-
cover under the eye of the operator.
In adults we must not permit the
amount transfused to equal the nor
NAL for fear of suddenly overtaxing
the heart, but in the case of young
children who have had severe hem
orrhages there may be a complete re-
covery without a period of GONZALES
cence, so that at the termination of the
operation the patient is well-From

TUBERCULOSIS
SANITARIUM
At FindIay Attracting Great Atten-
tiOn-New Treatment Cures
Consumption.

Remarkable cures are being made at
the Sanitarium conducted by DR.. P. p.
Duket, Lima avenue, Findlay, Ohio.
Persons suffering with consumption of
the lungs have been sent away in good
health. Many homes throughout the
state have been made happy by restor-
alton to health of those nearest and
dearest.
The medical profession is greatly
interested in the many cures that have
been recorded, and people from various
sections come to Findlay to receive
this wonderful treatment which is
accomplishing such remarkable results.
The treatment is an antiseptic lymph
injected intervenously and irrigates
the lungs and gradually the diseased
tissue is restored; the patient gains in
weight and strength and in a few weeks
is able to leave, having regained health
and vigor.
Owing to the large number of people
who desire to take the treatment,
accommodations should be arranged
for in advance.
