THIS is A PROGRESSIVE AGE

New discoveries are constantly
being made that benefit humani-
1, more or less according to the
necessity or demand for an IN
provement over old methods.
On account Of the dangerous,
as well as unpleasant, after eff
fects of Calomel, men Of science
have been patiently searching
for a substitute for it.
Calomel acts too violently on
your liver, causes you 10 lose
time from your work, and is lia-
bic at any time to salivate you.
Science has at last discovered a
substitute for CalOmel which j
called Lemolac.
You viii find Lcmolac a real
liver medicine that possesses the
virtues OF CalOmel without it:
unpleasant and often dangerous
after-effects.
Lemolac IS pleasant to take,
ana it does not salivate, IS GER
tain to fill long felt want. Try

In answer we say that never have we

Never, knowingly, have We published

The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
