ELDORADO ASTOUNDED
BY MERCHANTS STORY
A merchant relates the fol-
lowing: "For years I could not
sleep without turning every
hour. Whatever I ate caused
gas and sourness. Also had
stomach catarrh. One spoon-
ful buckthorn bark, glycerine,
etc., as mixed in Adler i-ka re-
lieved me instantly." Because
Adler-i-ka flushes the entire ali-
mentary tract it relieves any
case constipation, sour stomach
or gas and prevents appendicitis.
It has quickest action of any- j
thing we ever sold. Corner

" There is nothing in etiquet
but what is good common sense

that part of etiquet that right-
fully belongs to you and keep it
in your jewel box — common
sense is the brightest jewel, and
those imbued with it deserves a
crown—common sense is sympa-
thy, sympathy is sparkling and
its glistening will attract the eye

the universe and extends beyond

of light Sympathy is love, and
