MORE MEN THAN WOMEN 1
HAVE APPENDICITIS
Surgeons state men are slightly
more subject to appendicitis than wo
men. Cordele people should know
that a few doses of simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, ete., as mixed in Ad
ler-i-ka, will prevent or relieve ap
pvendicitis.. This mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY case
constipation, sour stomach or gas. The
INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka
is surprising. A. M. Stead, druggist.
