they thought he would get up soon,
but he grew rapidly worse; and one
day the doctor said that Tom would

was holding court in another county,
and had not heard of Toms sickness.
He promptly called the case in its or

old Judge looked worried, troubled.

TROUBLES OF

Explains Shows How
To Rid System of Them
Build Yourself Up Quick.
WRITER'S GIVE MANY
POINTERS TO SUFFERERS

You lay-off from work. You drag
around week after week You vent
your vicious temper on the family.
You lose weight, get nervous and
even food no longer pleases you.
Your headaches are frequent, and
after meal you feel like a pulled
up toad and grrnt and grumble
with pains in your side and back UNI
til folks would think you were dy-
ing. Some of course keep mum
and say nothing. but what is the use.
Food you eat is supposed to go
down into the stomach, a big por-
ton turned into strength and new
tissue and the waste matter quickly
passed out thru the bowels and blad-
der. But when it doesn't and the
waste lies rotting and fermenting in
your stomach, what happens then?
Gas forms, gives you a foul breath,
pasty taste in the mouth, belching
spells a pressure from the gas in
stomach and chest. Your head is apt
to ache. Constipation results and
mighty soon your nerves get ragged
and the whole system gets out OF
tune.
If you take a pill you blast q
hole through this mess in your stom
ach but you don't remove the cause
and with your digestion so impair
led you fail to get the strength yor
should. The blood suffers. The vital
organs begin to falter and that i:
