NATURE PROVIDES
THE INGREDIENTS
Areo-Phosphate, the New Herbal
Remedy, Now Endorsed by
Local Peorle.

If the digestive organs are not
properly performing the work which
nature has assigned to them, then nu-
triton, which is absolutely essential
to the recovery of other diseased
parts, will be lacking and there can
be no permanent relief. When bod
ily nutrition is normal, the stomach
digests the food, the blood absorbs
and .carries the nourishment to the
different parts of the body, causing
the various organs to properly per-
form their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in
the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate,
the new herbal stomach remedy,
which is now being introduced here.
It is purely vegetable and it's vitaliz-
ing, corrective and reconstructive
qualities are so pronounced that ben
efcial results are noticed from the
first day. That this is true, it is only
neces sary to listen to the statements
made daily by local people who have
given Argo-Phosphate fair trial and
have been benefited thereby.
It is dispensed by Glider & Weeks.
