The tax on physicians because Of the
plea that they d!d a considerable

licvc the State lost something like

told that the Stat faces a dcficit. and
the present "cisinturc has TO con-

Therefore he paws "a double tax To the

admit this is generally because he is

same is exactly true Of the physician

of his profession. and this has never

now none AZ all Is It Just and fair
TO relieve one class Of his tax 10 do

The people have derived no benefit
from the removal Of the physicians

An Amazing
Public Agitation

The gospel of efficiency has been so
well instilled into ambitious Americans
of today that they have come to real
ize to an astonishing extent how i'm
possible it is to be healthy and capable
while they are handicapped with poison
Gus waste in the lower Intestine, or
Constipation.
That is one reason why C. f. Thomas,
the popular druggist, is so enthusiastic
over the results of Abbey's Efferves-
cent Salts, that old, tried-and-true
remedy, so pleasant to take and so per-
feet in its results. The new package
of Abbey 5 which can now be obtained
at c. F. Thomas 5 is larger and better
than ever, but at the same old price.
Start taking it today and see how much
better and brighter you will feel to-
morrow-Advt.
