five minutes If the cob is small and for
eight or ten minutes for larger cobs; cold

cut the corn from the cob. When cutting

Everyone knows that it is not, as

There are many medicines which
contain properties of effective me-
dicinal value, yet they fail to give
relief. And why? Simply because of
the faulty compromising. Over-abund-
ance of one ingredient detracts from
or counteracts the effectiveness Of
another, and vice versa. In other
words. much depends upon the skill
OF the chemist.
Trutona. the Perfect Tonic, has
been compounded by one of the fore

preparations of medicines. That's
why, in the thousands of cases which
have been testified to by the users
