Blight Did Not Destroy
Sturdy Chestnut Trees

For several years IL has been in.
dicated that the chestnut tree that
was threatened with complete de
struction by the blight or bark dis
ease appearing thirty years ago,
from China by way OF Europe. was
coming back.
Four years ago. In research cir
cular prepared by John E. Aughan.
baugh for the Pennsylvania depart
ment OF forests and waters, Ii was
stated that ''the persistent sprout.
ing ability of the chestnut is its
main hope. For twenty years II
has persistently met It's death loss
with repeated crops Of new sprouts
The blight has not yet been able to
kill all the root systems from which
sprouts develop. These sprouts
are the main battle-ground of the
blight"
Now II Is stated by Henry E
Clepper. in a service letter OF the
Pennsylvania department Of forests
and waters, that many blighted
chestnut sprouts have been found
that are 35 feet tall, with diameters
Of 8 inches.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be

regulated to suit individual need. II
forms no habit; you need not take a
double dose a day or two later.

The right dose Of a liquid laxative
brings more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
