LOCAL iRONWORKER
 HAS A FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE LATELY
MT. J. A. Welch of A Madi- son Avenue, Does Not Hesitate to Indorse Lax-a- Tone as the Eighth Won der of the World.

MT We1ch called on the Lax-a- Tone man at Hartigan's drug store. S1 Fairfield avenue, near Main street, and said that he was willing to come for ward and say a good word for Lax-a- Tone as it was deserving of all the praise that you could give it. MT Welch is a we'll known ironworker of this city and enjoys the respect of his many friends and it is a pleasure to publish such testimonials as this one as it cannot help and will convince the most skeptical of persons that Lax a-Tone has merit, and will deliver the goods.
 MT. Welsh says: Have had stomach trouble all my life with a bad case Of sconsti tipation. I used to have blotcheS and pimp1es all over my face and it is needless to say that have tried many things. I can honestly and truthfully say that Lax-a-Tone is the very first remedy Sat gave me results and this pleased as it, has surely cleared me of all my troubles and can also add that my appetite has improved and further than that I can eat anything without distress and enjoy it.''
 Lax-a-Tone is a remedy that has produced miraculous results in sour acid stemachs, b1oat, gas, nervousness, b1otches, pirnp1es and blood 1mpuri- ties and will take that tired worn-out feeling out of you in jiffy. Try it and see in one week how much better you will feel.
 Lax-a-Tone Is for sale at Hartigan's drug stores, S1 Fairfield avenue and Main and Congress streets.-Adv.

EXPLAINS METHOD
 OF REDUCING FAT
Niles Normalizing Treatment Is UnaccOmpanied by
 Use of Drugs.

Drs. A. N Cook and G. w. Hohne of 67O State street, near Park avenue, have announced the institution of a practical method of reducing weight, which they point out is unaccompan- jed by the use of drugs, and which they assert will promote the well be- ing of persons who incline towards obesity.
 They have issued the following a.n- nouncement relative to the method |:
 While we may properly regard moderate amount of fat as a, store house of food and energy-4a fuel re- serve for times of stress-yet there is a point beyond which fat is cer- tain1y excess baggage'' and a. pre- disposing condition to many ills.
 '-So it became necessary to find an effectiFe method that would really re- duce fat in a, feasible and consistent way by establishing a normal ,condi- ton of circulation, that better oxida- ton of the blood and more perfect elimination of body waste could take place Hence, we have great satis- faction in offering a system of fat re- duction that does not require one to punish oneself dietical1y or to risk the use Of dangerous remedies. to ac- uuire a less bulky and a more supple form.
 We present the Niles normalizing machine, the newest and, at the same time, most practical reduction instru- naent which has been devised. It ac- complishes its reduction work without laying any burden upon the heart or c1rcu1atory apparatus Its effects are secured with the greatest degree of comfort allowing the patient the max fnum freedom from hard and fast rules that have always been thought necessary to accomplish even indif- ferert results. So with this instru- ment at hand the successful way is made comparatively easy.
 '-No one should try to deceive hirn7 self into thinking he can afford to ignore a. few pounds of extra weight that is steadily increasing. Neither should one allow an excess of fat to become permanent By taking the Niles Normalizing Treatment both size and weight can be reduced. appear ance improved and a feeling of well being established, not known since excess fat became a, constant compan- ion. The life insurance companies will tell you that life expectancy has increased greatly.
 Our facilities for giving the Niles Norma1izing Treatment as well as our other drugless treatments are com p1ete-your inspection is invited ''
