Mrs. Mary F. Franse, whose address

ten to the Pinus Laboratories very
strong endorsement OF Fruitola and
Traxo. In her letter. Mrs. Franse says:

termined to try Fruitola and Traxo and

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 con-
gested masses. disintegrates the harden
ed particles that occasion SO much suf-
fering, and expels the accumulated
waste to the intense relief OF the pa
tient. Following a dose of Fruitoa.
Traxo should be taken three or four
times a day in order to rebuild and re-
store the system that has been weaken
ed and run down by constant suffering.
1t is a splendid tonic. acting on the liver
