NEW YORK. n. Y. = Mr.. J. c. B.
Walthall. an oil and gas millionaire
from Oklahoma, stopping at a well
known hostelry states in an interview
how his life and happiness was saved

my entire life. Wealth came to me

most men | abused it's privileges until
! became a nervous wreck, with throb-
biug brain, aches and pains, loss of ap-
petite, energy and ambition. In fact
life seemed not worth living. Hope was
dead and pleasure had fled. Then |
read a prescription for just such all
ment as beset me. My druggist filled
it for me. Improvement followed inn
provement and 1 continued its use until
hale and hearty once more. Judicious
living has kept me strong, stronger
than before. l kept the prescription
and want it published to help others.
Here it is: One OF. each of tincture
cadomene compound. compound fluid
balmwort, compound essence cardiol
and three ounces compound syrup sar-
saparilla, mix together, snake we'll and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
one at bedtime. My what vim it gives
only one such as / can ever realize"
NOTE - Local druggists and ply
sicians commend highly the peculiar
virtues of this prescription and any
good druggist can fill it. :

chine and caught her arm In the cogs.
