They are.learning, for instance, not to resort to harsh, griping cathartics for cleansing the sys tem, when it is so much better to use a pleasant effervescing drink. You can prepare a correctly- proportioned, pleasant mineral water by dissolving a few tea spoonfuls of Liver Saline in a glass of water. Drink it before breakfast and it wakes up the liver. Really, this is a fine thing for peopie of sedentary habits, to keep the bowels regular with out causing the slightest irrita tion. And the effect on the liver is much better than ordinarily produced by calomel (which Pen- slar Liver Saline of course does not contain). The little aluminum measuring cup that comes with the bottle is always at hand, clean and sanita ry for getting exactly the right amount. All these Penslar Remedies (more than 100 of them) are worthy of your full confidence. Remember the name—Penslar— and tell us your needs. We’ll help you select, the right remedy. A twenty-five cent bottle of Penslar Liver Saline will convince and please’you. Grady Pharmacy THE PENSLAR STORE adv Mrs. Beale took the train for their future home in Greensboro, Ga.
