CURE FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT

The great Russian scientist Metchni-
koff, when travelling in Bulgaria, some
years ago, was astonished at the vast
number of centenarians there. Upon
investigation he discovered that the
people drank great quantities of butter
milk for food and that its Tactic acid de-
stroyed the intestinal bacteria whose
fermentation produces the toxins or
poisons causing disease, old age and
death.
He introduced into France, as cure
for these serious diseases, pure cultures
of these Bulgarian sour milk bacteria,
whose Tactic acid is much mo1e power
full than that of any other huttermilk.
Probably the best Bulgarian butter
milk germs produced in this country are
the "Bulgara Tablets" manufactured
by Hynson, Westcott and Dunning, Of
Baltimore.
These awful heats cause this danger
GUS disease in children, and every
mother should know of the wonderful
results which have followed the use Of
this remedy. The little one is very i'll,
weak, and about to die, but after TAX
ing few doses of these sugary "Bul-
CARA Tablets" makes quick recovery,
and in day or two is as well as ever
The writer knows what he is writing
about, both from personal experience
in their use and from the many tests
made by physicians of this remarkable
remedy. His sole motive in writing
this is, through the courtesy of The
transcripts generous help, to bring
this valuable knowledge to the notice
of parents, and thus do little public
service. Bulgaria Tablets may be got
ten through your druggist if you prefer
it.
