FLOWER OF FRANCE FREELY
OFFERED FOR FREEDOMS
SAKE

Six millions of the youth and
chivalry of France have been offered
that Freedom might live. The world
will ever remember this heroic sac
rifice and outpouring of the blood Of
its youth. 1t is likewise not unmind-
full of the great service to the world
rendered by the French peasants who
have given it a perfect remedy for
stomach, liver and intestinal ailments
relieving, 1t is said, incalulable suf-
fering, saving thousands of lives and
preventing innumerable surgical OPP
erations. The ingredients are i'm
ported and placed on sale In this
country over the name of Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy by Geo. H. Mayr,
a leading Chicago chemist. 1t is a
simple, harmless preparation that re-
moves the catarrhal mucous from the
Intestinal tract and allays the in
fiammation which causes practically
all stomach, liver and intestinal all
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money refund
edo. e. Northcraft & Co., and
druggists everywhere.
