means of reminding you that your

compIaint-you know too many
things about sickness and health
which ain't so.
The indigestion collie" or
cramps" of the clinic patient were
due to vascular crises; that Is. tenn
porary spasm of some of the arteries
supplying the stomach and liver.
Another manifestation Of this kind
is seen in mature adults with arterto
sclerosis it is called intermittent clau.
dication or lameness. Patients de-
velop cramps or pains in the legs
after walking. and the pains pass of
after a short rest. 4Gca sionally this
intermittent claudication nanifests
itself in one or both arms instead of
the legs. Intermittent claudication
occurs most frequently in persons
whose arteries are damaged by over
indulgence in tobacco. Many suffer
ers from such attacks assume they
have Rheumatism and sauandsr
less treatments for that existent
condition.
These peculiar ma nifestations Of
arteriosclerosis are only occasional.
and not the usual or common mani
festations Of the disease.

The astonishing vitamin
value of good cod>liver oil

GOOD cod-liver oil is astoundingly rich
in vitamin content. A pint Of it contains
more Of the important Vitanin A than 1900
pints of grade A milk-than one hundred
pounds of the best creamery butter! And
cod-liver oil is rich. too. in the antirachitc
vitanin. which prevents and cures ricketts,,
Thus good cod-liver oil is especially val
liable to children. For it promotes growth
helps to give them sturdy young bodies
and protects them against ricketts,. It is
important to grown people, too, for it
vitalizes and protects the body against
bacterial infection.
Squibbs Cod-Liver Oil is prepared, under
the supervision of expert chemists, by
special process which insures against the
loss Of its vitamin content. The process Of
manufacture also makes Squibb's Cod-Liver
Oil much more palatabIe. It is safest to
accept no substitute. Insist upon Squibbs.
And whenever you have need for household
products insist upon Squibb's Household
Products-such as Sauibb's Castor Oil
(Tasteless). Squibb's Milk of Magnesia.
Squbb's Sodium Bicarbonate, Squibbs
EPSON Salts. At drug stores everywhere.
