DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Best Way to Treat
Consultation
BY S. c. BABCOCK. NJ.

The medical books name many
drugs that will move the bowels. The
drug store shelves are loaded down
with laxatives, purgatives and pills.
The trouble with most Of them Ia the
after effects. Constipated people
know that pills work all right for a
little while. but they soon lose their
effect, and a change has to be made
to something else. The constant TAX
ing of pills results in a form af bowel
inactivity that is difficult to cure.
The system becomes SO accustomed
to laxative drugs that the organs just
won't work without them, and so the
Dill habit becomes as bad az consti-
patton itself. DIR. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, seems to me to have the right
idea. He says the bowels should
first be gently moved with Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. and in the mean
time laxative foods only should be
eaten. Figs, prunes, olive oil, spinach.
bran, vegetables and fruits are fine
for constipation. Chew every bite
thoroughly, eat little meat, and be as
active as possible. Now, doesn't that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will
start the bowels working right; then
it is up to you to keep them right by
right eating. Try Pleasant Pellets
for sick headache, coated tongue.
biliousness, dizziness, torpid liver or
to break up a cold. They are Just
fine!
DR.. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment
soothes, cools and heals piles in a
most gratifying way. Perhaps there
is no other remedy for this torturing
trouble that relieves so surely and
quickly. DR.. Pierce believes Anodyne
Pile Ointment will overcome any case
that can be overcome by medical
treatment. Try it right now
DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets are in
tended for people who suffer from
kidney disorders-whose backs ache.
and whose systems are overrun with
uric acid. Nearly everybody has too
much uric acid. Anuric Tablets dis
solve uric acid quickly. as they are
made double strengtk.-Adv. s

Rabbit Meat for Wartime Food.

Wartime conservation of beef and
pork has enabled a Kansan to de-
velop a rather extraordinary BUSH
ness in the marketing of wild rab-
bits, both jacks and cottontails. A
rabbit packing plant has been estab-
lished and is now shipping frozen
Dummies by the tens of thousands.
A recent contract called for 4S0, 600
pounds Of jackrabbit meat. The
jacks average four pounds each when
dressed. This means that approx
mately 10000 rabbits were required
to fill the order.
The fur is disposed of at a hand
some profit. 1t is used in the manu-
facture of high grade felt, such as
enters into the making Of mems hats.
All waste products are converted
into fertilizer. The industry also
rids the country of crop destroying
pest.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Ancient and Modern Roads

Modern road engineers seem to
have great difficulty in determining
how a really good and substantial
road should be built. This is hard
for the layman to Understand, when
we consider the roads built by the
Romans thousands years ago
which. except for neglect of the sur.
face, arc still giving good service
Then there are the notable roads Of
the Continent. that have survived
hundreds Of years traffic. 1t would
seem that a study Of such roads would
furnish much needed information;
but possibly tho trouble lies in a fu
tile attempt to get something for
nothing. by spreading the cost Of one

MRS. HOLMES SAID

Il can assure you tha- Fiaxo-

1913 Main street, Auburn, to the
F'laxoiyn representative at the
Alden drug store, Union Square,

Mrs. Holmes was telling Of the
conditions that Fiaxolyn had re-

her daughter as well.

had been reading of the good
results that many people mere
were receiving from Flaxolyn
since its introduction, so de-
cided to try it, thinking that if it
benefited me would have my
daughter take it also, as she was
troubled with a poor appetite,
constipation and irregular sleep.
The result for Flaxolyn was
that / noticed a difference right
from the very start. So now we
are both taking Flaxolyn and so
! can assure You that Flaxolyn
is doing all you claim for it.
No medicine can meet all cases
and none should pretend to, said
DR.. Harris II. Luntz, Of New
York, discoverer Of Flaxolyn, but
when two members Of one family
are benefited so promptly the
merit of Flaxolyn is shown to
Lewiston people in. a very practi-

Says Flax0iyn
Helped Four Members
Of His Family

Il can't help but express my

wonderful amount OF good FlaKo-
lyn has done for not only me, but
four in our family" said Mr.. Fred
Gillies Of 10 Union street, Lewis
ton, Me.
had been reading SO many
good testimonials and hearing 80
many people talk about Flaxolyn,
that / thought | would try box.
also sent a box to my mother.
For SO years, which is as long as
/ can remember, my mother has
been troubled with her stomach,
an inactive liver and constipa-
ton. She was continually doc
tori1s and taking medicine.
There were very few things she
could eat. Gas would form in
her stomach and she would get
dizzy spells with terrible pains
around the heart.
I wanted her to visit me this
Summer, but she wrote and said
she was not able to make the
trip. l have been sending her a
box of Flaxolyn every week and
she writes that she has improved
and is rapidly regaining her
health and strength. OF course,
It viii take some time before she
is fully recovered, but the letters
from her are so gratifying that
1t makes me happy to think
found and sent her the remedy
that is restoring her health.
Besides this, my little daughter.
three years old. has always been
constipated and her appetite ir-
regular. Knowing that Flaxo-
Ign is made from roots and herbs
and harmless. went to the
Fiaxolyn representative at AL
denis Drug Store and learned
what size dose to give a child Of
this age. In a very few days the
child responded to the curative
properties Of Flaxolyn. Her
bowels nave become regular, sne
has an elegant appetite and
sleeps much better, without hav-
ing such irritable spells as she
did. We also notice her eyes are
much brighter.
My wife and I are both taking
Flaxolyn and although neither
one of us Is sick, we figure that
our systems are like pieces OF
machinery, when it becomes
clogged, it must have cleansing
and oiling.
! really cannot say enough for
Flaxolyn AMI besides personally
recommending it to number of
people, gladly endorse and
recommend 1t to the public"
