Don't Blame Your
Over Worked Stomach

When your stomach viii not digest
food, the worst thing you can do is to
take a lot Of digestive medicines
True, they give temporary relief, but
your stomach is the sufferer. Loss Of
appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia and
headaches can only be permanently
relieved by removing the cause. In
many cases, various remedies taken
to relieve these conditions result in
running the stomach and preventing it
from digesting food in natural way.
If you want your stomach to DO Its
own work properly, without rssortlng
to artificial digestives or predigested
foods, use Jayne's Tonic Vermlfuge.
Take small doses regularly, prefer
ably before meals. In a little time
your stomach will again do its own
work and you will eat heartily, keep
we'll and enjoy living. Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge is not a dlgester in itself
but it tones up the stomach and IN
testines, giving you all the nutrlment
and strength from the food you eat.
Many forms Of supposed indigestion
are the result of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge
is unsurpassed. Insist on Jayne's;
accept no other. Millions have prais-
ed it for more than eighty years.
Sold by druggists everywhere. DR..

PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.

This is the prescription for long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut, who is ninety-nine years old
and still we'll and cheerful, Live
temporarily, be slow to anger, DOM
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties Of Gods
livers, with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We re-
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga,
says: IF people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
l ever used"
We wish every feeble old per-
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
money if it fails to give satisfaction.
