It Is through the school physician

This is today only a small part Of

much larger number of school children
than do the communicable diseases.
Careful studies in various schools
have shown that about two children

adenoid growths.
These physical defects are usually
entirely unsupported by either the
children or their parents.
One child cannot zee the black
board clearly and has a headache
when he studies. A pair of glasses
would clear up the whole trouble.
Another child Is dull and listless,

Little Ralph Gordon Bennett, aged 8
years, who lives at 40. Columbia road,
Enola. This dear little fellow has just
passed through a remarkable expert
ence which practically snatched him
from the very brink of the grave and
brought him back to a life of health
and happiness. His cure is so re-
markable that it has created an inn
mense sensation in IGnola where he
lives and many people seem to think
miracle has been performed. Such
is not the case, however, and all the
credit for the cure must be given en-
tirely to that most wonderful of all
remedies Quaker Herb Extract. This
fact will be substantiated by MIR. and
Mrs. James II. Bennett, parents of the
child. This little child surely owes
his life to Quaker Herb Extract. This
result. together with the many others
published surely convince any per-
son of sound mind that the Quaker
remedies must possess marvellous cura-
tive powers The cures of rheuma-
tism, catarrh and stomach troubles
reported are genuine; the testimonials

Just read the case of to-day, con-
slider it and you will surely admit that
you are indeed fortunate to be able
to supply yourself with that great
remedy, composed of Gods choicest
gifts to mankind, herbs. roots, gums,
barlls berries, leaves and blossoms,
Quaker Herb Extract. 1t is beneficial
to all, harmful to none, and that it is
safe for children is surely proven in
the following:
Statement of the boys parents:
When our little son, Ralph. Gordon
was not yet two years old we dis
covered to our horror that he was
afflicted with tapeworm. We real
lied his danger and Immediately ar
ranged for treatment. 1t was un-
successful and succeeded in getting
only a part of the worm. That only
seemed to increase our anxiety. Ow-
ing to the child's tender years it was
not deemed advisable to administer
such strong medicine again soon so
the little fellow continued in his mis-
cry After a year or so we tried again
and for the second time succeeded in
getting a piece. Now what could or
should we do? We were willing yet
powerless to do anything more. The

We read in the paper where the
Health Teacher was at Kellers Drug

Extract would remove tapeworms

cording to directions; we did not have

surprise and intense joy. in less than
three hours after taking Quaker Herb

explain what a relief this was to US
after over six years of continuous
worry. We are only too happy to
