The lives of most women are
full of worry. Men’s troubles are
bad enough, but women’s are
worse. Worry makes women sick.
It pulls them down, and in their
weakened condition they are sub

nesses that are peculiar to the sex.
Most women neglect their
health, and for this neglect they
pay the penalty. If a woman asks

f You will miss that dreaded “chill

Mr. A. J. Barnes, of Macon, says:
“My system was full of malaria and
I began to have chills and fever. I

Fever Tonic and a few doses broke
’ up the chills. I took the rest of the
bottle as a tonic and thg. fever did not

any one having chills and fever.”
Ameco is a scientific prescription

Gentlemen:
That I am a living man today is
due to Plank’s Blood Medicine. I
had what was thought to be an

and my blood, of course, was bad.
Prank’s Blood Medicine has
thoroughly relieved my trouble and
I am able to do a man’s work now,
where I was hardly able to lift my
hard before.
I hope this word reaches all who
are suffering as I did or who have
tny form of kidney trouble, bad
blood, stomach or liver trouble,
constipation, etc. I not only
recommend Plank’* B ood Medicine
(The Wonder Medicine*, but I
plead with you, who may be a suf
ferer to try one bottle and be con
vinced ns I was.
Yours truly,

Development of
A Normal Baby
An inexperienced mother is often
at a loss to know whether her baby
is properly thriving and may be un
duly alarmed at small matters, or
may not understand the serious na
ture of certain conditions. The best
indications of a perfectly healthy
baby are a steady gain in weight and
quiet, peaceful sleep. If baby shows
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sour
stomach, or is inclined to constipa
tion, it should have attention.
Most of the baby’s troubles come
from improper assimilation of food,
resulting in indigestion. This leads
to faulty elimination, and of course,
i baby doesn’t develop properly. When
) these symptoms occur, a good baby
I laxative will generally suffice, but
; great care should be exercised not to
give baby strong, irritating drugs
that will set up inflammation in the
delicate membrane of baby's stom
ach.
I One of the best laxatives for babies
is “Baby Ease,” a perfected prepara
tion by a baby specialist, that is easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro
duce over-action or leave baby con
stipated. It is a safe, harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective. If
baby does not improve after a few
doses, take him to a physician. Ask
your druggist for “Baby Ease.”
