WON’T FOLLOW ADVICE AFTER PAYING FOR IT. In a recent article a prominent phy sician says, It is next to impossible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any prescribed course of hygiene or diet to the smallest extent; he has but one resort left, namely, the drug treatment.’ When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, such as Chamberlain’s Stomach A Liver Tablets, should be employed. Their use is not followed by constipation as they leave the bowels in a natural and healthy condition. For sale by Jxo. 11. Blackburn. House and Lot For sale.

A woman who has had experience with the disease, tells how to prevent any dahgerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old. and owing to giving them Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much bet ter health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call lustily for cough syrup between whoops. —Jessie Pinkney Hall, Springfield, Ala. This Remedy is for sale by Jno. H. Blackburn.
