The monotony of filing the records
has been varied at intervals by the
humor afforded in the answers given
to questions supposed to have been
quite plain on the cards issued as a
medium for obtaining information.
The question which has apparently
been most misunderstood is that having

Wonderful How CalOtabs, The Perfect

Feel So Good the Next Morning.

Doctors say that the old-style Gallo
mel was. the best medicine in the
world and the only thing that would
straighten out a disordered liver, but
it had some serious drawbacks. The
salivating and the sickening after-ef-
fects made many people dread to take
it. The new calomel called Calotabs,
have all the liver benefits left in and
the sting taken out. Now you can take
calomel without the slightest objec-
ton. One Calotab on the tongue at
bedtime with a swallow of water;
that's all. No taste, no danger, no
gripping, no nausea, no salts. Next
morning your liver is clean, your sys-
TEN purified and you are feeling like
a o-year-old- a hearty appe-
tite for breakfast. Eatt what you
please-no danger.
Calotabs are so delightful that your

Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out Of the Digestive Tract

Millions. are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly "fu,"
fever or cold. Their appetites are
POOR; they are weak, and they are
v:-.i1nr for their strength to come back.
II these people could only realize
Tat the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
teEtion to the stomach-thatis, remov-
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
thu 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 feveTish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a 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 results-so wonderful that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly

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 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 ''fu" 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-
eddy dragging out a mere existence.
Sobesure 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 a penny. There is no
risk--the benefit is surely all for you.
