American banks with German connec-

1T is natural that we will not do

FOR Os,s

According to the Journal of the
American Medical Association (Juiy q,
1sl2( Page 30s). DR.. c. F. Olsen, Of Min
neapolss. holds that deficiency of cal
ciur" Qime) is responsible for the physi-
cal conditions which lead to tuberculosis,
and the therapy he advocates rests on
this basis
One of the reasons for the widespread
success of Eckman's Alternative in the
treatment OF tuberculosis and chronic
throat and bronchial troubles Is its
ability to supply this deficiency.
1t contains a lime salt in such form
and SO combined with other remedial
agents as to be easily assimilated by the
average person. There are on record
many cases in which it seems to have
erected complete and lasting betterment.
However. We make no exaggerated
claims for Eckman's Alternative We
prefer that 1t be tried on the same basis
one tries any other prescription, and We
believe it will help, for 1T HAS HELPED
In many cases
1t contains no opiates, narcotics or
habit-forming drugs. Therefore, it is
safe to take. If your druggist Is out of
it, he will order, or you can get it d.
