The One Effective
Substitute for Calomel
Everyone knows that calomel Is one of the best
of laxatives—we mean the best to produce bowel
ac t ion and regulate the liver.
But calomel is injurious—its after eHecfs are
sot only unpleasant, but in many cases dangerous.
Doctors have sought for years to discover a
substitute. It remained for Dr. Edwards to
develop a substitute.
For IS years, while practicing, he sought the de
sired compound for the sole benefit of his patients,
lie developed it to perfection and found it too
good to coniine to a few. So it is now placed
within reach of all.
iviinm rwu vi «»»•
This compound i* today In tablet form at all
druggists. You get it by asking for Dr. Edwards’
Olive Tablets. 15 tablets for 10c. 43 Ublets for
unvo iwicw. w «
25c; iu packages. When you feel that you need a
laxative—feel that the liver needs toning, try

Arkansas Farmer Follows Advice of Cooper, and Gains
Fifteen Pounds in Few Weeks.
A. D. Henry, a prominent farmer
living on Rural Route' Nn. S, J.mee-
boro, Ark.,_ In a atatement given for
publication, tella a atnry that make,
nt,treating reading for peraona who

ry nay a:
"for el* year* t was a chronic auf-
ferar from atomach trouble. In all
thut time I did not eat a meal to en
joy It. No matter whet 1 ate It caused
twin and dfstreaa. Food laid In a hard
lump upon my, atomach. 1 lost In
flerh and atrength. and wa, unable to
Hip! relief. I suffered night and day—
waa robbed of my aleep and reet, and
a roe# In the morning aa tired aa when
1 went to bed. I waa completely run
down, and derived no benefit from any
medklne I took.
"One day while In town my drugglat
recommended Cooper 1 , New Discovery.
1 had noticed eeveral articles In the
wwspspera regarding thla man Coop
er's work in the larger cltiea. and de-
i Mml to give his medicine a trial. Ita
effect surprised me. Before 1 had
taken all of the first bottle I felt won
derfully Improved. The pain and dis
tress hod left me, my appetite waa
good, my bowels wore moving regu
larly and naturally, and I began to
•leap soundly at night.
"I continued the treatment, taking
several more bottles, und six weeks'
time I felt like a new man, fully re
stored to health and atrength. 1 gained
fifteen pounds while taking the Cooper
medicine. I can not say enough In
praise of Cooper’s New Discovery—It
brought new life to me."
The theory of L. T. Cooper I a based
upon common-sense reasoning. When
asked recently why his medicine Is so
successful, he replied: "My New Dis
covery Is successful because it
corrects the stomach. My theory ie
that few can be sick if the digestive
apparatus Is working properly. It nat
urally follows that few can be well
with a poor digestion. I know from
experience that most of the tired, half,
elck people that are so common now
adays have lialf-eirk stomachs. Put
the stomach In shape, nnd nature does
the rest. The result Is general good
health. My medicine does this."
Cooper’s New Discovery Is n boon to
stomach sufferers. It Is sold by all
druggists everywhere. A sample bot

The Value
>OF
Personal Knowledgj
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component!
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the J
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made. ^
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known
under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to he the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna.— as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of—Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing, the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup
Co.—printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for—Syrup of Figs
— or by the full name—Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna.

Barbed Wire Antiseptic
A New Discovery.
The PARIS MEDICINE COMPANY, 2622-30 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo.
manufacturers of LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE and other standard prep
arations have a new discovery that far surpasses anything ever placed on the
market for barbed wire cuts, burns and old sores.
When Marconi stated that he could send messages across the ocean with
out a wire or cable, the world did not believe it; if we were to tell you that
Dr. Porter’s Antiseptic Healing Oil
will cure a barbed wire cut in one day, will absolutely relieve the pain of a
burn instantly and will cure old sores which other remedies have failed to
cure, you would not believe it; therefore we have instructed all Druggists to
refund the money to purchasers in every case where it fails to do all we claim
for it.
We Mean It
It is needed in every home. When any of the family are severely burn
ed or cut, or a horse is badly injured on the wire fence you haven’t time to
send to town for a remedy, but you need it at once; therefore do not delay to
purchase a 25c package under our positive guarantee.
A Cut Never Matters, or Suppurates, after it is once applied.
It not only relieves the pain of a burn instantly, but will take out all in
flammation and soreness in one day.
It will-cure granulated eye-lids and old chronic sores, no matter of how
long standing. It is just as valuable for household use as it is for stock.
Cures the Old Sores that
other remedies won’t cure
