HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry,, consisting of pure vege-
table oil, and said to possess Won
derful merit in the treatment of
stomach, liver and intestinal trou--
bles, has been introduced in this
country by George H. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one of
the leading down town druggists of
Chicago and who himself was cured
by its use. So quick and effective is
its action that a single dose is usual
ly enough TO bring pronounced relief
in the most stubborn cases, and
many people who have tried it de
clares they never heard OF anything
to produce such remarkable results
in so short a time 1t is known as
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy,
and can now be had at almost any
drug store. 1t is now sold here by
Otto's Pharmacy.
Coughs and Colds Weaken the Sys-

SOME GOVERNMENT WASTES.

SOME GOVERNMENT WASTES.
Congressman Barnhart, of Indiana,
says the government wastes a mil
lion dollars annually in it's printing
bills, including franking abuse, pad
ding OF Congressional Record by
fake speeches, distribution of pub
lie documents that go to the junk
shops, etc But unfortunately for Mr..
Barnhart's sensible propositions, the
congressman cant see themselves as
the voters see them.
Similarly Congress has always
peddled out free seeds, on the the
DRY that the constituent feels pleas
ed at this mark of attention. It is
supposed that there are many voters
in these beans and peas and cab
bage
It is doubtful if the farmers use
these seeds very much They come
in too small quantities to be valu-
able in a business way. The back
yard suburban gardner may make
some use of them; but it is no
more the business of the government
to distribute seeds than to give away
shoes or tooth brushes. 1t is all a
tax which the people must pay. The
intelligent man, resolving one of
these packages, is not flattered as
his congressman thinks. Indeed he
is again reminded of the inefficiency
of Congress, and he feels a desire
to smash things politically.
Similarly in regard to the Con-
gressionaI Record. A Well edited re
port of interest. Few people read the
Congressional Record. because of the
interminable length of speeches is
sued on leave to print"
If Congress won't listen to these
speeches, with all the added inter
est th@ comes from the personality
OF a statesman engaged in public
debate, the public are not going
to stop to read them.
Thus the Congressional Record to
those who receive it, is daily re-
minder of unbustness like methods.
The Congress- that shall have the
force to cut such absurdities will
make more friends than it is now
able to realize.

They argue that the profitable
store is the one that is busy all the
year around at the same level. The
advertising that helps keep their
trade normal in summer is really
more profitable than the advertising
that brings in more trade at a time
when people are naturally buying
freely.
The advertising men who handle
this big store work are good guides
for the smaller merchants to follow
They have carefully analysed the var
ious theories Of advertising. If they
believe it pays to advertise largely in
summer, it will pay for their competi
tors throughout retail trade.
In smaller cities, there is some
little tendency for advertising TO
drop in summer It is done on the
theory that trade tends to drop at
that time. It is about as sensible as
if farmer should refuse to feed
his horse because the beast was a
little more tired than usual. 1t is
when the animal flags that the far
mer sees that he is in need OF the
| best grain.
If trade flags in summer, put the
tonic of advertising into it.
Merchants may fear a drop in
trade in summer, but one surmises
| that it is apt to be less than they
anticipate. OF course forehanded peo-
pie with plenty of money stocked up
| largely with summer goods sometime
ago But many cautious people have
waited until now for bargains Many
people are away, but many strangers
are in this vicinity and disposed to
buy if their trade is solicited

The above is a picture OF Wiscon-
sins leading Specialist, who treats
| Chronic diseases, without resorting to
surgery or the knife.
For many years past, in certain
troubles such as Rupture Chronic APP
pendicitis, Gall Stones, Goitre and
many Diseases peculiar to Women,
it was thought necessary to resort
to Surgery.
But in the past few years such bril-
liant men in the profession aus Dr.
Metchnkoff of Paris, the leading ply
stefan of the world today, DR. Nc
Even, Professor of Medicine at the
University of Bdinburg, Scotland,
Sir Henry Burdette of England, and
DIR. Page of Boston, Mass, not to
mention many others of great promi-
nence have become firmly convinced
and have proven that many of these
cases can be more successfully, bet
ter and more safely cured by modern
treatment than by the knife.
And it is along these same advanc-
ed lines that DIR. Goddard has had
his remarkable success in treating
Chronic Diseases without operation
The Doctor comes to Grand Rapids
once every four weeks and freely
grants consultation to all who may
call on him at the Dixon Hotel.
He comes to us highly recommend
ed, and has had many of our people
as his patients, whom he has cured
after they had tried many other ply
sicians without relief In talking with
the writer recently the Doctor said:
The tendency among the medical
profession in the past has been to
put the knife into everybody on the
slightest pretext, but with the great
Announcements that have been made
in the Science of Medicine in the
last few years, many of the broad
minded surgeons have seen the en-
rors of their ways with the result.
that they are not resorting to surgi-
cal operations in one quarter the
cases that they formerly did. 1 can
truthfully say, and can prove it that
80 per cent of the socalled cases of
Chronic Appendicitis that have sub
mitted to operation in the past. could
have been cured much better by our
modern methods of treatment. thus
saving the patient all the suffering
and danger, not to mention the ex-
pense that accompanies surgical OPP
erations. have proven the truth OF
this statement right here in your
community and should like to show
you scores of letters, from grateful
patients whom l cured to prove it to
you ALSO"
The Doctor has lately written a
little book that is intensely interest
ing, entitled. Modern Methods of
Treating Chronic Diseases Without
Surgical Operation, which he will
gladly send 10 anyone absolutely
free of charge on request.
Anyone suffering from any Chron- |
ic conditions, especially if it has
failed to respond to the ordinary
treatment should certainly avail them
selves of the opportunity to consult |

Infection and Insect Bites Danger Gus
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pals,
ponds Of stagnant water, barns mus
y places etc, are carriers of dis
ease. Every time they bite you, they
inject poison into your ysstem from
which some dread disease may re
suit. Get a bottle Of Sloan's Lini-
ment. 1t is antiseptic and few
drops will neutralize the infection
caused by insect bites or rusty nails.

ford to be without it in your home.

SUMMER ADVERTISING.

A careful study of the advertising
in the big meuuso i an papers shows
that a great dead of costly publicity
work is done in the summer The
bis department stores do not quit
III July and August. Their sales may
not be quite up to the level of spring
or fall. All the more reason, accord
ing to their philosophy, why they
should push for trade.

Summer Constipation Dangerous
