change OF diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. 1t is so
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not so much the diet
as to keep the poison from start

this if you will just take a tablet or
two of EAT0NIC after your meals.

Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-

body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
