Protect School Children.

Measles, scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough are prevalent among school
children in many cities. A common
cold never should be neglected as it
weakens the system so that it is not
in condition to throw off more serious
diseases. Foley's Honey and Tar is
pleasant to take, acts quickly, con-
tains no opiates. Haley & Miles.

First Rule of Good Health.

All schools of medicine agree that
it is necessary to keep the bowels
open and regular if one wishes to en-
Joy good health. Indigestion poisons
the system and invites disease. Foley
Cathartic Tablets cleanse the bowels
without gripping or nausea, Danish
bloating, sweeten the stomach and
invigorate the liver. Haley & Miles.

Why Constipation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed into
the system, making you feel dull and
stupid, and interfering with the di-
gestion and assimilation of food. This
condition is quickly relieved by Cham
berlain's Tablets. Obtainable every
where.
