AMERICAN PHYSICIANS GREAT TONIC
BROU6HT HERE BY LEADING DRUGGISTS
HOW 1T GIVES RELIEF

There is a reason for It's sue
cess! DR.. TEACHERS Liver and
Blood Syrup is not limited to the
virtues of just one medicine. 1t Is
a combination carefully selected
from the most potent ingredients
known to modern medical science
prescribed by the most eminent
physicians in the United States and
Canada. Each ingredient has a
definite part in nourishing, toning
and strengthening various parts of
the system.
This Is why great numbers of
test cases have shown that 1t in
creases appetite, improves diges-
ton, soothes and tones the over
taxed nerves-why it gently cor
rects constipation, and sends purer
healthier blood coursing through
the veins. When the system is
thus toned it is but natural that
you have greater physical beauty
and that delightful feeling that can
come only as result of strength,
vigor and energy.

with the expectation Of be-

district off the tax rolls.
Before he entered the cam

an engineer of 20 years eX-
perience, made a thorough
survey of the port districts
business and the physical
condition of its properties.
He went through and under

Capt. Higbee discovered that
the creosoted piling driven
years ago must be replaced
at once to preserve the dis
trict'S docks. Creosoted pill
ing only lasts 10 years in salt
water and under three Of the
port districts docks, new
piling must be driven next
year and all of it must be re
newed or the space under the
docks filed before 1880. No
provision has been made for
such renewals by setting
aside a cash reserve, but
Capt. Higbee points out that
