Bowel Cleaning
Power of Inner-
Aid Medicine
One man recently took INNER-
AID three days and said after-
ward that he never would have
believed his body contained so
much filthy substance. He says
his stomach, intestines, bowels and
whole system were so thoroughly
cleansed that his constant head-
aches came to an end, several pim-
ply skin eruptions on his face
dried up overnight, and even the
reheumatic pains in his knee dis-
appeared. At present he is an
altogether different man, feeling
fine in every way.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear!
gas from stomach, act on sluggish 1
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo-
ple soon feel different all over.
So don’t go on suffering! Get
INNER-AID. Sold by all drug
stores here in Cottle County.

CLEANERS
Since we have put in our new Cleaning and Pressing plant,
one of the best that can be found in this country, it has been sur-
prising, even to ourselves, the class and quality of work we can
turn out. Other people have also noticed it, for they have talked
to us about it.
It cost us a lot of money to put in this plant—the very lat-
est equipment that can be had—but we expect to make Paducah
our Cleaning and Pressing home from now on. We just “let the
bars down” and purchased a plant that will give the very best
service. Here’s some features we want to again call to your at-
tention:
1— Your clothes are carefully examined and sorted
out before cleaning.
2— They are carefully weighed and sorted out in colors
to give the perfection of cleaning.
3— We then start cleaning, and dresses and wools are
cleaned separately.
Another new process that our new plant features is:
1—We are now using dye cleaning soap on all our
clothes, which works like hand cleaning soap
does with water.
We invite the public to come in and see this modern plant. . .
watch it operate and ask us any questions you will. We believe
that you’ll be convinced that you are getting the best when your
clothes are cleaned and pressed here.
