Imitators do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy their medi cine if you knew what it contained. Grove's contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that Groves is the Original and that all other so-called "Taste less" chill tonics are imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows that Grove's is superior to all others in every respect. You are not experimenting when you take Grove's ? its superiority and excellence having long been established. Grove's is the only Chill Cure sold throughout the entire malarial sections of the United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 50c Her View rf lloys.

So. 2d J Fin Puffs tinder the eyes; red nose; pimple blotched, greasy face don't mean hard drink ing always as much as it shows that there is BILE IN THE BLOOD . It is true, drink ing and over-eating overloads the stomach, but failure to assist nature *in regularly dis posing of the partially digested lumps of food that are dumped into the bowels and allowed to rot there, is what causes all the trouble. CA SCARE TS will help nature help you, and will keep the system from filling with poisons, will clean out the sores that tell of the sys tem's rottenness. Bloated by bile the figure becomes unshapely, the breath foul, eyes and skin yellow; in fact the whole body kind of fills up with filth. Every time you neglect to help nature you lay the foundation for just such troubles. CASCARETS will carry the poisons out of the system and will regulate you naturally and easily and without gripe or pain. Start to-night ? one tablet ? keep it up ior a week and help the liver clean up the ?>owefs, and you will fcef right, your blood will be rich, tace look clean, eyes bright. Get a 10c box of CASCARETS , take as directed. If you arc not cured or satisfied you get your money back. Bile bloat is quickly and permanently CURED BY CANDY .CATHARTIC \ 0C. ^ 25c. 50e.
