This important notice is intended
for every druggist in this state.
We want them all to know that there
will be a splendid and instant demand
for Begy's Mustarine.
The Original and best substitute
for Grandmother's old fashioned Mus
tard plaster.
And we want them to stock this re-
markable remedy that subdues 1nflam-
nation, breaks up congestion, stops
aches and banishes pains.
And best of all it does it In half the
time it takes the ordinary remedies
that most people have been using.
We don't ask you to load up but
we do sincerely urge you to have
enough on hand right away so that the
brisk demand our advertising Will
create will prove OF benefit to you as
we'll as ourselves.
Please understand that in asking
YOU to cooperate with us that we are
not asking for anything unreasonable.
We have opened new territory be-
fore and have seen apparently live
druggists lose many sales because the
first demand swept the jobber's stock
clean.
Il won't take the people of this COM
munity many days to find out that
'Begy's Mustarine is the quickest act
ina remedy in the world for ailments
mentioned below.

SUMMER-SPOlLED SKIN
REMOVED BY ABSORPTION

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface OF tan,
redness or roughness, often freckles,
too, the sensible thing to do is to
remove such surface. There's moth
ing better for this than ordinary
mercolized wax, which actually aD-
serbs an unwholesome complexion.
The thin layer Of surface skin is 1t
self absorbed, gently, gradually, so
there's no inconvenience, no deten-
ton indoors. Spread the wax lightly
over the entire face at bedtime and
take it off in the morning with warm
water. II you will get one ounce OF
mercolized wax at the drugstore, use
II for week or so, you may expect
marked improvement daily. When
the underlying skin is wholly in
view your complexion will be mar
vel of spotless purity and beautiful

of bottles of this old famous Sage
Tea Recipe, improved by the addi-
ton Of other ingredients, are sold
annually, says well-known drug

hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray
or becoming faded have surprise
awaiting them, because after one or
two applications the gray hair van
ishes and your locks become lux
uriantly dark and beautiful.
This is the age Of youth. Gray

WHEN YOU WAKE
Up DRINK GLASS
Of HOT WATER
Wash poisons and toxins from
system before putting food
Into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impurt-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce Of waste material must be
carried out of the body II this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only noarishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure Is to
drink, before breakfast each day,
glass Of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a duh, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, ssllow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro.
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.
