MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Surgeons state men are slightly more
subject to appendicitis than women.
Clio people should know that few
doses of simple buckthorn bark, glycer-
inc, ETC., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. often
relieve or prevent appendicitis. This
mixture removes such surprising foul
matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves
almost eANY CASE constipation, sour
stomach or gas. The INSTANT, easy
action of Adler-i-ka is surprising. E.
