NOT TO KNOW
 IS NO EXCUSE
To Know How to Keep We'll Is Better
 Than to Call in a Doctor to Get We'll. Sickness Is a Penalty Not an Accident.

Sickness Is Penalty Not an Accident.
 One of the best and most depend able and important preventatives of getting sick, one of the surest ways of keeping we'll is to form and main tain the exceedingly good habit of regular, thorough, daily bowel evacu- ation.
 That is Natures trbest bet', You should do your best to help Nature, not hinder her in her efforts to keep you we'll. With the best of good in- tentions you may employ many me- : thods: Strong, drastic acting medic ines that force the bowels to act sim ply replace one evil by another evil. It may secure temporary action but it produces more than temporary ir- ritation and other bal effects. Don't judge by promise in selecting a sim pie remedy to assist Nature. Per formance is the true test, Take Beecham's for example.
 Over 70 years ago people began to take Beecham's. Today millions of people all over the world take Beecham's, recommend Beecham's to their friends, hand the use of Beech am's down from father to son or from mother to daughter for gener- ation after generation. That means much. You never hear any unfavor- able criticism or complaint regarding Beecham's. That means much if not more. It takes real merit to withstand the tests of time and trial.
 You can do much to help Nature keep you well by keeping a box of Beecham's in the house, ready for use at the first warning of disorder or Arrangement. All druggists sell Beecham's-are glad to sell Beecham's.
