able to see that there is loyal
service for them here now and
abroad later.

A SHORT HISTORY OF
old HICKORY TONIC

First used by doctor who lost his
life in the Civil war.
Next used by doctor who studied
medicineaunder the first. This doctor
practiced medicine for period of Sc
years, from 1855 to 1914, and he gave
Old Hickory Tonic to large number Of
his patients in all these years. He
died at the ripe old age of eighty.five
years.
The formula was handed down to his
two sons who also became doctors.
They found the medicine so meritori-
Gus that they also used it in their reg.
ular practice. One of them has now
given 1t to his patients for thirty years.
Scarcely day passes that he does not
prescribe It.
Old Hickory Tonic creates new
strength, richer blood, more vitality
and sharpens the appetite. II is fine

bles, as we'll as for anemia, nervous.
