A TreacherOuS Disease.
Appendicitis attacks at any mo-
ment even persons seemingly in
good health. Usually, however, it
Is preceded by so-called stomach
trouble, constipation or similar dis
turbances. Often when there is a
warning feeling of uneasiness in
the abdomen, appendicitis can be
guarded against in exactly the same
manner in which one guards against
the spread of throat infection, be.
cause that is just what appendicitis
is-an- infection in the intestines
spreading to the appendix. When
one has sore throat, one can often
prevent further trouble and the
development of influenza or grippe
by using an antiseptic wash or gar.

tive to carry off the poisons from
the body. Just exactly the same
procedure IL necessary to fight the
intestinal germs and guard against
appendicitis. But instead of an an.
tiseptic wash for the throat, an IN.
FESTIVAL antisepticN Is necessary.
Intestinal Antiseptic.
There is now offered to the public
a preparation having the DOUBLE
action of an intestinal antiseptic and
a COMPLETE system cleanser. This
preparation, known as Adlerika
acts as follows:

harmful germs and colon bacili in
the intestinal canal, thus guarding
against appendicitis and other dis.
eases having their start here.

cleanser ever offered to the public,
acting on BOTH upper and lower
bowel and removing foul matter
which poisoned the system for
months and which nothing else can
dislodge. It brings out all gases,
thus Immediately relieving pressure
on the heart. It is astonishing the
great amount of poisonous matter
Adlertka draws from the alimentary
canal-matter you never thought
was in your system. Try 1t right
after a natural movement and no.
tice how much more foul matter
it brings out which was poison
ing you. In slight disorders,
such as occasional constipation,
sour stomach, gas on the stom-
ach and sick headache, one
spoonful Adlerika ALWAYS brings
relief. A longer treatment, however,
Is necessary in cases Of obstinate
constipation and long standing
stomach trouble, preferably under
direction of your physician.
