 POISONS THE SYSTEM
Nature Has Provided Relief

For every violation of her laws Ma ture exacts penalty: but she also has wisely provided relief, especially for the ailments of the human sys- tenn. Since constipation is the most common of ailments. Nature endowed certain herbs. seeds, barks and leaves with laxative properties. Early set tiers, dependent entirely upon Nature, used the extracts from these plants to relieve and correct constipated conditions.
 sover Seventy years ago. an old fashioned Maine country doctor who didn't believe in harsh cathartics originated a prescription known as Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative, which since has given relief to many thousands of constipation sufferers.
 The herbs used in its preparation are imported and of strictly pure quality; it helps 10 correct the cause naturally and relieve its attendant evils; 1t purifies the bowels as it cleanses.
 Here Is one of the thousands of cases where Dr. True's Elixir has helped. "As you have been God send to me. that is a friend in need is a friend indeed I willswrite and

 A well-known New Yorker writes: While visiting in historic old tMass.), my family became acquaint- ed with your Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative and Worm Ex- peiler.

Jefferson's fervent God bless the little church around the corner" fixed the name.
 After that many weddings and funerals of stage people were con ducted at the church, and to it came young couples seeking matrtmony free from parental interference and also strangers in the city who wanted religious. instead of a civil ceremony.
 At the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination. the things that pleased the old clergyman most were two memorial gifts from the dramatic profession,

protesting poverty far more than the
circumstances warrant. Undoubtedly
she could pay more than she is pay

to admit even this. He. however. be-
lieves the French occupation Of the
Ruhr will not cure this trouble and
but adds to it, while France is sure
continued occupation will be of bene-
fit to her.

this nation. In his assertion of in
