Nervous Spells
Near Heart Failure
EatOniC Stopped It

Mr. c. B. Loats, writing from his
home at Lay, Nd, says, Il had been
taking medicine from four specialists,
but believe me, friends, one box of
eatonic has done me more good than
all the remedies I have ever tried.
I was in awfully bad shape. About
half an hour before meals, got nerv-
Gus, trembling and heart pressure so
bad could hardly walk or talk. One
box Of eatOnic stopped it."
Eatonic quickly produces these tru-
" marvellous results. because it takes
UP the poisons and gases and car
ries them right out of the body.
OF course, when the cause is removed,
the sufferer gets well.
Everyone that wants better health is
told to have just a little faith-enough
TO try one box Of eatonic from your
own druggist. The cost is a rif1e,
which he viii hand back to you If you
are not pleased. Why should you suf-

WEEDS ARE VEMNG PROBLEM
One of Principal Reasons Is That
Farmers Have Permitted Plants
TO Spread Over Land.

One OF the principal reasons why
weeds are such q serious problem on
many farms these days is that farmers
and land owners failed to keep a close
watch Of fields for new weeds and to
have them identified before they had
spread over such large areas as to
make their eradication costly.
