which in many respects presents a
crisis in our national career. We are
in the aftermath of a struggle In

to an excess of cranks and crankism

 Co Back To Work
Then IS the Whole System Glad. Purola Dyspepsia Tablets Will Quickly Put the Stomach In Shane.

When the stomach fails to do its work properly the whole machine of man is unstrung and wholly in- capable of work. This condition obtains from the tiniest nerve to the big strong pumping heart.
 It is a wise law of nature that has made the stomach mans strong est organ, but when it stops work man ought to realize that it does so because it can continue no longer.
 Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly give the stomach the re- pair 1t needs and is always crying aloud for.
 A tablet taken after. each meal will in the course Of several hours become a portion O" the digestive fluids. It will build uu these fluids. First in the stomach, then in the intestines.
 The liver is the storehouse of the body. Here are assembled all the reserve fluids of the system and here the various ingredients of Dys- pepsia Tablets mingle with the faulty natural juices and strength en them, or if they are too strong then they will be reduced to their proper strength and proportion.
 Purola Dyspepsia Tablets con- tain a single ingredient, one grain of which is sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food. Just think how gratefully such an element is received into a body that cannot digest at all without a new weaken ing of the already depleted juices.
 Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this very day and obtain box of Purola Dyspepsia Tablets, price 50 cents. A weeks trial will make you a new man and your stomach will go back to work.
