Happy Old Ace.

When old age carries with It's hosts
of friends, good health and an abund-
ance of this worlds goods, it should be
as happy as any period of our exist
ence. That is old age as it should be-
blu. too often it means poor digestion
torpid bowels, sluggish liver and a
general feeling of i'll health, despond-
ency and misery. This condition can
be greatly alleviated, however, by TAX
ing one OF Chamberlains Tablets each
day Immediately after supper. That
will strengthen the digestion, tone up
the liver and regulate the bowels, then
that feeling of dependency will give
way to one of hope and good cheer
Obtainable everywhere.
