An Interruption

From an eAcHdHSe.
The late James B. Hammond of
typewriter fame, had a singularIy
generous nature-as was evidenced
among other things by his distribu-
tion of $4,000 bright new Lincoln pen
nies from his motor car among the
children of New York.
Mr.. Hammond hated meanness.
Once, at club. he heard a man meanly
asking a doctor for free advice on
all sorts of medical topics.
And now, doctor" this Individual
finally said, suppose man got frost
bitten-how would you treat him?'
"Oh,' broke in Mr.. Hammond impa-
tiently, rub him with a. man who's $
had a sunstroke.'

school one morning. Suddenly, looking
up in the old lady's face. he said,

LIV-VER-LAX FOR
SICK HEADACHE.

1t is Your Inactive Liver and Clogged
Bowels. Liv-ver-Lax is the Panacea
for all Liver Troubles and
Constipation.
You are bilious, your thirty feet Of
bowels become cIogged up, poisonous
gases are generated in the bowels and
thrown out in the system, your head
aches, you have chiIls and fever, you
are nervous and i'll. tempered, your sys-
tenn is full of bile not properly passed
off. Your disordered stomach and bill
iousness cannot be regulated until you
remove the cause. 1t is not your stom-
ach's fault. Your stomach is as good
as any.
Try LIVER LAX, it IS purely veg
etable. Do not resort to harsh physics
and calomel which ruins the system
and softens the bone.
LIV-VER-LAX acts gently, yet posi-
lively on the liver, stomach and bowels,
is pleasant to take and does not grippe
or sicken. 1t is recommended for grown
ups and babies all alike.
You will be surprised at the amount
of bile a bottle of LIV-VER-LAX will
clean out of your system. Buttry a regu,
lar soc or $l.00 bottle at s. L. Raines
drug store on our guarantee and be
convinced.
