\>y0UR new AUTOMOBILE!
How to Keep Its Fine Body Surfaces

Depreciation in automobile values Il
more matter of appearance than Of
mechanical wear and tear. Why peo-
pie pay so little attention to the care
of the body surfaces is hard to under
stand. Most cars look year old after
two or three months under ordinary
treatment.
1t is a very simple matter to keep
the auto body practically like new for
several seasons-simply by cleaning and
polishing in the right way.
Tobey Polish, the old secret shop
formula of The Tobey Furniture Com
pany Chicago & New York;, is a per-
feet preparation for auto body re-
.quirements. 1t Is recommended and
exclusively used by many leading dealers
and makers.
1t cleans off all dirt and grease, easily
and quickly; no hard rubbing; does not
gum; wipes off dry; does not catch the
dust. Does not coat over the surface
simply maintains and beauties the

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required.

Many women suffer from form Of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar to those of ordi-
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be a kind Of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement Of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
