MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Surgeons state men are slightly
more subject to appendicitis than
women. Selmer people should know
that few doses Of simple buckthorne
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in
Adler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent ap.
pendicitis. This mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach Of
