Pain is no respecter OF persons" says
DIR. Il. l. Abogado. 1t knows no distinc-
ton of race, creed or wealth. The pain OF
the man of millions with his equity foot is
just as excrucfatfng as is that OF the most
lowly citizen nursing his jaw in frenzy OF
neuralgia. For the time being the one
thought upperm ost In the minds OF both is
that they would gladly give their all to get
rid OF the pain.
The prominent symptoms OF most dis
eases are pain and fever and have found
that antf-kamnia tablets are equally as
enective as fever reducers as they are as
pain reviewers. Therefore, In any diseases
where pain or fever exist either separately
or together, anti-kamnia tablets have their
proper use. For instance, l have used them
with most gratifying results In the treat
ment OF all kinds OF headaches, migraine,
eoryza, Ia grippe, and its after effects; as
q sedattve In indigestion. gastraigia, dys-
pepsia. hysteria and Insomnia; as an anti
pyfetic in intermittent, puerperal and

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and Just SEQ
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon juice to remove complexion blem-
ishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out
the roses, the freshness and the hidden
beautyg But lemon juice alone is acid,
therefore irritating, and should be mixed
with orchard white this way. Strain
through fine cloth the juice OF two
fresh lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well, and you have whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion To-
ton at about the cost one usually pays
for small jar of ordinary cold cream.
BE sure to strain the lemon juice so no
pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for months
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands, it should help to bleach
clear, smoother and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three ounces
of orchard white at very little cost, and
the grocer has the lemons.--Adv.
