After The Flu"
Fever or Cold
Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out of the Digestive Tract

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 stomach-that Is, remov-
ing the acldity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making 1t
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.

poisonous after-effects right out Of the

NO MORE PUNCTURES OR
BLOWOUTS.
Perfect Tire Filler Takes Place Of Air.

.
The entire automobile industry has
received with considerable satisfac-
ton the announcement that the
answer to the pneumatic tire problem
has been found. and the most Interest,"
Ing feature Of this announcement is
the fact that the statement Is not
based on theory, but on actual fact. In
asmuch as the new tire filler which
will replace air has been put to prac-
teal test covering period Of over b
years and is already In use by over
$4,000 automobile owners. This resil-
lent filler is not liquid, and no inner
tubes are used. The material possesses
great resiliency, rides like air yet Is
not affected by punctures; will not
blow out and doubles the life Of tires.
No spare tires or spare rims are needed.
It differs from other s0-called tire filters
In that II will not fiatten or harden and
Is not affected by either heat or cold.
Tests made by the Ford Owners
Club, Widney ResiliOmeter, Technical
Universities and over $4,000 users
prove that this remarkable tire filler
rides like air over the toughest roads
and every indication points to Its
acceptance and adoption by the auto
mobile industry as successor to air
In automobile tires.
The material is manufactured BY
The Essenkay Products Co., 98-220 W.
