Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the sum-

every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural looseness of the
bowels, and it is of the greatest i'm
portance that this be treated promptly.
which can only be done when the med
cine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott,
Scottsville, N. Y, says: II first used
Chamberlain Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five years ago. At
that time had severe attack of sum-
mer complaint and was suffering severe
pain. One dose relieved me. Other
members of my family have since used
it with like results. !,

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive TabletsAthe substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

N. n. WEEKS
ENGAGED

The patrons of the Electric Light
& Water plant will be pleased to know
that the Common Council and Board
of Public Works have re-engaged NJ

two plants. He is already on the Job

after the welfare of these two impor-
tant Institutions

Weeks came to Grand Rapids from
Wausau several years ago and took
charge of these plants and rebuilt
them with new lines, poles, etc, and
so arranged matters that the service

business methods brought them up
to-date. He will continue to give the
city the same excellent service as he
did before and keep them in high eff
ficiency of service. We congratulate
the city officials on their good judg-
ment in reinstalling Mr. Weeks.
