Western stock show. Many Colorado
farmers are becoming interested in
this show and are making prepara-

farmers are beginning to feel the need
of rain. particularly in the eastern
part of the state. Wheat is begin

DOESN'T NEED ANY
LAXATIVES NOW
Mr.. Becker says life is a Joy
without constipation or
stomach trouble.

and head for three years. My
stomach was so bad that every time
l ate anything sweet, such as fruit
or pastry, the burning hot water
would run out of fny mouth. had
to take a laxative every night.
"Since taking Milks Emulsion my
bowels move regularly. l have now
taken ten bottles and have gained
1917 pounds All my friends remark
how fine l am looking, and it seems
a pleasure to live again, without
stomach trouble."-Bert Becker,
Miami, Ohio.
Physics usually make slaves out
of their users, and weaken the
bowels instead of correcting them.
Stomach trouble in many cases is
directly due to constipation.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant,
nutritive food and a corrective
medicine. 1t restores healthy, nat
ural bowel action, doing away with
all need of pills and physics. 1t
promotes appetite and quickly puts
the digestive organs in shape to as
simulate food. AS a builder of
flesh and strength, Milks Emulsion
is strongly recommended to rum
down nervous people, and it has
produced amazing results in many
cases of asthma, chronic bronchitis
and tuberculosis of the lungs.
CAronic stomach trouble and con-
stipation are promptly relieved
usually in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion
made, and so palatable that it is
eaten with spoon like ice cream.
A truly wonderful medicine for
weak, sickly children.
No matter how severe your case,
you are urged to try Milks Emul-
sion under this guarantee-Take six
bottles home with you, use it ac-
cording to directions and if not sat-
isfied with the results, your money
will be promptly refunded. Price,
60c and $1.10 per bottle. Peoples
