Good stomach
I)W you know that a person with a GOOD atomach rarely takes cold or gets sick?
It is true, and also it's a fact that by careful eating and keeping the bowels naturally
active every day, a badly disordered stomach may be gotten into
fine condition. The old, original, “L. F.” Atwood Medicine IS
a stomach and bowel specific. You should try it atonce, following
all directions carefully. That grinding indl|otion with belching,
heart pressure, acidity, bad breath, stupor, headache, backache
and constipation, will toon diminish. Appetite, energy and
(heerfulness will return. Begin the treatment today. Ask
) our dealer lor the true "L. F.” made by the L. F. Medicine Co,
I'or t land, Me.

Rich Inheritance
Everyone who shares the blessings of liberty

and endeavor to accomplish to the full extent
• of his ability—and we shall make rapid
progress in the fight for so just a cause.
