HOW FRENCH PEOPLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable
oil, and said - possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles, has been introduced
in this country by George II. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one of the
leading down town druggists of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and efFec;iv, is its action
that single desc is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and many people who
have tried it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short 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
