BIG SURPRISE TO MANY
IN THIS TOWN

Local people are surprised at the
QUICK results received from simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, ETC., as
mixed in Adler-i-ka, the German rem
edy which became famous by curing
appendicitis. This simple remedy
draws off such surprising amount Of
old foul matter from the body that A
SINGLE DOSE relieves sour stomach,
gas on the stomach and constipation
INSTANTLY. It is the best remedy
we have ever sold.
