AN AMAZING STORY OF SUCCESS
READS LIKE A ROMANCE BUT
ARE COLD HARD ACTUAL FACTS

their remedy is not a Laxative but
moves the bowels in & natural man
ner which statement is absurd for if
any remedy moves the bowels it is a
laxative. To find imitators of Lax-a-
Tone is an easy thing just watch the
remedies that make a point to tell
the people that their remedy is not a
Laxative and when they do that
remedy is paying Lax-aTone a COM
pliment, because Lax-a-TOne is a
tonic laxative and will restore the
bowels to their normal function.
So if the many Bridgeport people
that are today suffering with sour acid
stomach, bilious spells, gas, bloat,
headaches, dizziness, and have poor
blood, bad circulation, feel all run
down and tired out will avail them
selves to this wonderful remedy that
has been tried, proven and tested the
results they receive will surprise them
beyond all measure.
Lax-a-Tone is for Sale exclusively
in Bridgeport by J. D. Hartigan, 81

One year ago today Lax-a-Tone
opened up it's campaign in Bridgeport
after four years of enormous successes
in the West, and its story for the
year ending Jan. 18th, 1917, shows that
Druggist J. D. Hartigan has sold 81
gross or IS, 104 bottles, an average Of
80 bottles per day for the year. In
thisstime 500 testimonials were received
and 1877 with the photo Of the testi-
fer It's repeat sales have averaged
34Gc which Is a test of satisfaction.
Another interesting fact is that the
average number of bottles used by
people that endorsed it were three
bottles which shows another point,
and that is that Herbal Lax-a- Tone
does not have to be taken for months
to obtain results.
The secret of LaXa-a-Tone is its
tonic LAXATIVE properties which
so many of it's competitors and imita-
tors have tried to attain, but with no
success and failing they have showed
their weakness by endorsing Lax-a-
Tones strong point by publishing that

REGISTRAR ASKS
ELIMINATION OF
T0-BE-MAOEL|ST
Hartford Official Would Dc
Away With Many Pre-
liminarieS.

Registrar Edward S. Young of
Hartford is planning to have bill
introduced in the legislature which
would eliminate the statute require
ment that would-be voters must file
applications with the registrars of
voters within a. period ending several
weeks before elections.
This would do away with, the "to be
made list entirely. AT present, no
person can be made voter unless his
name has been put on the ito be
made list, and the law provides that
no names may be put on that list after
8 o'clock in the afternoon of the
fourth Monday preceding election
day. On account of this provision,
thousands of persons who desire to
vote in certain elections are temper
arily deprived each year Of their right
of franchise. Many were disappointed
in Bridgeport, alone, prior to the
election in November, because their
names did not appear on the list.
1t is the opinion of Registrar Y Dung
that considerable work would be
spared registrars of voters without
any injury TO the standard of the
electorate if the Ito be made" list
were done away with. In the first
place, any person may bring the
name Of a prospective voter in to the
registrars for addition to the "to be
made list, and then, it is not until
the prospect presents himself finally
to the board of registration to be
sworn in that his qualifications are
ascertained.
The. matter was discussed infor-
mally at a meeting of the board of
selectmen yesterday afternoon , and
the selectmen, who constitute the
board of registration, seemed favor
able to Mr.. Young's proposed bill,
which will be in the form of an
amendment to Section 1902 of the
General Statutes.
William L. Lounsbury, local regis
trar, said today such bill would al
low any person qualified to apply and
be made Eat the last minute" and
would dispense with the preliminaries
Of written application, and the wait
ing period. >
