Dreading an operation above every
thing determined to try Fruitola and
Traxo and have never been troubled
with gall-stones since"
Fruitola is powerful lubricant for
the intestinal organs. and one dose is
usually sufficient to give ample evil
dence Of its efficacy. 1t softens the
congested masses, disintegrates the
hardened particles that occasion so
much suffering, and expels the accum-

the patient. Following a dose OF
Fruitola, Traxo should be taken three
or four times day in order to rebuild
and restore the system that has been
weakened and run down by constant
suffering. It Is a splendid tonic, act.
