Mrs. Nortorfh Says She Suffered with
GaY-sfones for Several Years
Wiitbout Relief

In letter to the Pinus laboratories,
Mrs. Rosa Norforth Monticello. ILL.,.
says: II can not praise Fruitola and
Traxo too highly as l consider 1t
saved my life. l suffered with gall
st mes for several years and could not
get any relief until your preparation
was recommended to me. 1t has been
six months since took the last bottle
and l feel that am entirely well.
Have anyone doubling the merit OF
your preparation write me as l will be
only too glad to recommend Fruitola
and TraNo to anyone suffering from
all-stones."
Fruitola and Traxo are the names
used to Identify two preparations that
are taken in combination. Fruitola
acts on the intestinal organs as pow
erful lubricant. softening congested
masses and disintegrating the hardened
particles that cause so much suffering,
and eXpolling the accumulation with
almost instant relief. Traxo is
splendid tonic. acting on the liver and
stomach with most beneficial results
and is recommended In connection
with Fruitola to build up and restore
the system that has become run down
and weakened through the suffering
incident to the arrangement Of the d.
gestive organs.

Of lumber, but the combined services

delivered at the Edward Hines Lumber
Company in Chicago.
The Union Pacific carried 1t to this
city where the Burlington took the
load over and will see it to it's destina-

of the tim bers, it was necessary to
pivot them upon the fiat cars in order
to permit the rounding Of curves by

Some thing of an idea of the trans

different thing. The sensational plat

After all the sane man is in the ma

that there is no leadership among edu-

with growing power (rlnforzando) 1t
