Do You Feel Tired
After Eating?

A tired, nervous feeling may be a
sign of poisons in your system which
prevent proper digestion. Food turns
into more poison and gas, making
you nervous and weak. Simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adlerika, expel poisons and gas
from BOTH upper and lower bowel.
Removes old matter you never
thought was in your system which
poisoned stomach and made you tired
and nervous. Adlerika is EXCEL
LENT to guard against appendicitis.

Curious Changes in Eyes of Fish.

study of the different forms and
habits of fishes will bring most inter
esting things to light. An instance:
One of the most peculiar things about
founders is that the young of the spe-
cies swim upright as in the case of
all adults of any ordinary species. The
eyes of young founders are like those
Of any ordinary fish, one being stu
ated on each side of the head. Gradu-
ally however, change comes in the
appearance of the young founder. AS
it grows one of the eyes travels around
to the side of the head until both are
on the same side. Subsequently this
side becomes the upper side of the
head Most of this rotation of the
eye Is rapid process taking not more
than three days.

The Pneumonia Month

March is typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rate
Iof mortality for the disease. After
IA long and hard winter, the system
loses much of its resistance and peo-
pie grow careless. When every cold,
no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease
and breeds in the throat. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is an expec-
torant and cleans out the germ lad
en- mucus and not only cures a
cold but prevents its resulting in
penumonia. 1t is pleasant to take.
Children take it willingly.
