Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-03-17

Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly "fu," a
fever or cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for their strength to come back.
If these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tention to the tomach-thatis is, remov-
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, so that the body will
receive the full strength of the food
eaten-a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it
self, and the strong medicines that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave it hot and feverish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is poor
foundation to build new strength on.
Now, tens of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose OF cleaning these
poisonous after-effects right out of the
system and they are obtaining wonder
full resuIts-so wonderful that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
believable, just as shown in the re-
markable letter which is published
upon the request of this sturdy old Civil
War veteran. He is n years old. Read
what he says EATONIC did for him:

Dec. 4, 1918 c. s. Martin
P.S.: If you can make any Use
of this letter for suffering humanity,
you are at liberty to do so. C.S,M.
This is only one case out of thousands.
You should make the EATONIC test
in your own case at once. You have
everything to gain-not penny can
you lose, for we take all the risk. Your
own common sense, your own feelings,
tell you that a good appetite, good di-
gestion, good stomach, with the fever
poisons and effects of strong medicines
out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
You want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the ''hu" fever
or colds, or any other illness that has
taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full of pep
and enthusiasm-be able to work with
ease, instead of listlessly, half-heart-
edly dragging out a mere existence.
So besure to take box Of EATONIC
home with you today. We cannot urge
this too strongly. If EATONIC fails
to give you positive beneficial results,
it will not cost you penny. There is no
risk-the benefit is surely all for you.

never had told me an untruth; and if
he had not gone to her the night Of
her trouble, what right had to think
he was with her now? But that he
was terribly anxious and worried was
plainly to be seen.
