She Had a Very
Poor Appetite
Even Potatoes or Meats Would
Hurt Her Stomach; Was So
Nervous She. COuldn't
Sleep. .ss-

my wife suffered from the Flu
and was in very much rundown con-
dition; had a very poor appetite
even potatoes or meat would hurt her
stomach--and she got to the point
where she ate practically nothing at
all; and she was so very nervous she
could not sleep good" declared Mr..
Moser, whose name and address is
given below.
II bought Earle's Hypo-Cod be-
cause ] saw it advertised, and now she
has a fine appetite; nothing hurts
her stomach, and she can eat any
thing at all. Her nerves are better
than they have been for several
months, and she is much better and
stronger in every way.
"She had used several different
kinds of medicines, but / can truth
fully say none of them did her the
least bit of good. am going to take
Earle's Hypo-Cod myself, as | think it
is the best medicine made" continued
Mr.. L. H. Moser, 1924 Marion St.,
Knoxville, Tenn.
Mr.. Moser is only one of thousands
that have found Earle's Hypo-Cod an
ideal tonic to build up the system
after wasting Illness. Doctors and
nurses say it is wonderful how quick
ly it takes hold of a person and
strengthens them. Even with its
wonderful strength it is most pleas
ant to taste and agrees perfectly with
the most delicate stomach. Just try
a bottle today. Read the formula.
Earle's Hypo-Cod is sold here by
Central Drug Co, and the leading
druggists in all nearby towns. Price
$1.25 plus SC war tax. - -

MUST COMPLY WITH FUEL LAW
IN CREENEVILLE.

Mr.. Mullens manager Of the East
Tenn. Electric Co., informs us this
morning that all merchants and bus
mess men must comply with the gen
eral fuel law, as has been set forth
throughout this country. This is
made necessary for the reason that
the water in Chuckey river is so low
at the present time that our people
have to submit to the same hours that
are now effective in other towns and
cities. 1t is hoped that this situation
may be relieved before the holiday
rush begins in earnest, but this notice
is given that merchants, manufactur-
ing plants and all using coal or cleo
tricity may comply without any un-
pleasant measures being taken.

SKIN THE CAT"
But If you won't exercise
vigorously you must
take "CascaretS."

There is nothing like bending ex-
ercises, taking long walks, or chop
ping wood to keep the liver and bow
els active, but most folks take their
exercise in an easy chair. Such folks
need Cascarets, else they suffer from
sick headache, sour, acid stomach, in
digestion, colds and are miserable.
But they don't stay bilious or consti-
pated. Feel splendid always by TAX
ing Cascarets occasionally. They act
without gripping or inconvenience.
They never sicken you like calomel,
Salts, Oil, or nasty, harsh Pills. They
cost so little too-Cascarets work
while you sleep.

Makes Life Worth Living

You cannot be constipated and happy
at the same time. If almost everything
you eat distresses you, and brings on
headache, gas on the stomach, heartburn,
etc, you can easily eliminate these con
ditions by taking SEVEN Banks, the
favorite root and herb remedy for stom-
ach disorders
SEVEN BARKS will expel the dis.
tressing acids, and dangerous poisons,
and help you back to good digestion and
active health, making life worth living
again
Do you sleep we'll? or are you troubled
with almost sleepless nights? While
there are many causes for sleeplessness,
it generally happens that deranged stom-
ach, liver or intestines are the real cause
of the trouble. If your appetite is not
good, or food distresses you, or the bow
els do not move daily, you can get quick
relief from these disagreeable conditions
by simply taking 10 to 20 drops of SEW
EN- BARKS in a little water after
meals; this is natures remedy made,
from the extracts of Root and Herbs, has
stood the test for nearly so years, and
will certainly give you feeling Of new
life.
If you would have the glow of health,
and Danish the blues, don't neglect to
ask your druggist for SEVEN Banks.
Costs but 80 cents.-Adv.
