A Weak
Stomach
Indigestion Is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don’t over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomaqh’s aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dietingunneces
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.
Kodol Nature’s Tonic.

A YOUNG LADY’S LIFE SAVED
At Panama, Colombia, by Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy.
Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent
physician of Panama, Colombia, in
a recent letter states: “Last March
I had as a patient a young lady six
teen years of age, who had a very
bad attack of dysentery. Every
thing I prescribed for her proved in
effectual and she was growing worse
every hour. Her parents were sure
she would die. She had become so
weak that she could not turn over
in bed. What to do at this critical
moment was a study for me, but I
thought of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
as a last resort prescribed it. The
most wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she was feeling
much better; inside of three days
she was upon her feet and at the
end of one week was entirely well.”

The .Spring Valley Sun expresses
in the following excerpt a policy
which shows its good judgment:
“The habit of bestowing unlimited
and indiscriminate praise on every
thing mentioned is one which the
Sun never contracted, and hopes to
remain free from. Taffy thickly
spread over anything soon sickens
the appetite. A little praise, care
fully and rightly bestowed, is more
acceptable to people of sense.”
Look Pleasant, Please.
Photographer C. C. Harlan, of
Eaton, 0., can do so now, though
for years he couldn’t, because he
suffered untold agony from the
worst form of indigestion. All phys
icians and medicines failed to help
him till he tried Electric Bitters,
which worked such wonders for him
that he declares they are a godsend
to sufferers from dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. Unrivalled for
diseases of the stomach, liver and
kidneys, they build up and give new

Consumption Threatened.
“I was troubled with a hacking
cough for a year and I thought I had
consumption,” says C. Unger, 211
Maple St., Champaign, 111. “I tried
a great many remedies and I was
under the care of physicians for sev»

Foley’s Honey and Tar. It cured
me, and I have not been troubled
since.” For sale by C. R. Taggart.

It is with joy I tell you what Kodol
did for me. I was troubled with my
stomach for several months. Upon
being advised to use Kodol, I did
so, and words cannot tell the good

dyspepsia so that h& had tried most
everything. I told him to use Kodol.

A Physician Healed.
Dr. Geo. Ewing, a practicing phys
ician of Smith’s Grove,. Ky., for ov
er thirty years, writes his personal
experience with Foley’s Kidney cure:
“For years I had been greatly both
ered with kidney and bladder troub
le and enlarged prostate gland. I
used everything known to the pro
fession without relief, until I com
menced to use Foley’s Kidney Cure.
After taking three bottles I was en
tirely cured. I prescribe it now
daily in my practice and heartily
recommend its use to all physicians
for such troubles. I have prescrib
ed it in hundreds of cases with per
fect success.” Sold by C. R. Tag

“While picnicking last month

some weed or plant,” says W. H.
Dibble, of Sioux City, la. “He rub
bed the poison off his hands into his
eyes and for awhile we were afraid
he would lose his sight. Finally a
neighbor recommended DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve. The first appli
cation helped him and in a few days
he was as well as ever.” For skin
diseases, cuts, burns, scalds, insect

el Salve is sure cure. Relieves piles
at once. Beware of counterfeits. R.

It Needs a Tonic.
There are times when your liver
needs a tonic. Don’t give purga
tives that gripe and weaken. De-
Witt’s Little Early Risers expel all
poison from the system and act as
tonic to the liver. W. Scott, 531

“I have carried DeWitt’s Little Ear

Why Two Ears Are Necessary.
Sound travels by waves radiating
from a central point of disturbance,
just as waves radiate when a stone is
dropped into still water. So far as the
hearing of each individual is concerned
these waves move in a direct line from
the cause of the sound to his car, the
impact being the greatest in the ear
nearest to the source. This being the
case, a person who has totally lost the
sense of hearing in one ear, although
he may imagine that the defect is of
little consequence, cannot locate the di
rection of a sound to save his life, even
when the center of disturbance is quite
near him. ’
From the Theater Gallery.
Mr. W. Pott Ridge tells in the Eng
lish Illustrated that the best repartee
he ever encountered was in the gal
lery of a theater. An extremely stout,
good tempered woman contrived to
wedge herself into a space that would
have accommodated a person of ordi
nary size, to the unconcealed annoy
ance of a smartly dressed youth next
to her. She began to peel an orange,
and the youth, with a gesture of com
plaint, removed his silk hat fussily to
a safer position.
“I suppose,” said the good tempereo
woman, “that you’d rather have had a
gentleman sitting by the side of you,
sir, wouldn’t you?”
The youth replied snappishly in the
affirmative.
“Ah,” said the woman thoughtfully,
“so would I!”
There is a pretty girl in an alpine hat

At the meeting of the eighth In
ternational Temperance Congress
at Vienna in April, Dr. Chevalier
von Hartel, Minister of Public Wor
ship and Instruction and Privy
Councilor, said that 60 percent of
the crimes in Austria were caus
ed primarily by the use ot intoxicat
ing liquors, and almost 50 percent
of the insanity was due to the same
cause. Dr. Meinert, of Dresden,
attributed the large mortality
among members of the medical pro
fession to the abuse of alcohol
and morphine.
Armor-Plated Boys.
It is important these days that
there should be armor-plated boys.
A boy needs to be iron-clad on —
His lips—against the first taste
of liquor.
His ears—against impure words.
His hands —against wrong" doing.
His heart —against going with
bad company.
His pocket—against dishonest
money.
His tongue against evil speaking.

zens gives more security to the na
tion than all the armor plates that
are on her ships. —Exchange.
Cigarettes or Success.
A school journal devoted to phys
iology tells of a boy who wished to
be a doctor. His uncle, who was
an eminent surgeon, said to him:
“If you want to be a successful
specialist in surgery, you will have
to give up your baseball, for it is
hardening and stiffening your
hands, and destroying the delicate
touch you will need in surgery.”
The boy, who would rather play
a game of ball than eat his dinner,
any day, decided that to be a great
surgeon was better than to be a
good ball-player; and he gave up
the good for the best.
Not every boy would be compell
ed to make such a choice, but, as
the paper goes on to say, the choice
comes in other ways.
With hundreds of boys it is be
tween cigarettes or success. School
work in physiology shows boys that
whatever enjoyment a boy may get
out of sucking narcotic fumes from
a paper tube he has to pay for in
future failures in business, when
he rubs against the boy or man
whose brain is clear and whose
heart is not weakened by the cigar
ette. —Junior Christian Endeavor
