ANdCIOGGED BOWELS. LIV
VER-LAX IS THE PANACEA
FOR ALL LIVER TROUBLES
AND CONSTIPATION
Youaie bilious, your thirty feet
of bowels become clogged up, poison-
ous gasses are generated in the bow-
els and thrown out in the system
your head aches, you have chills
and fever, you are nervous and ill-
tempered, your system is full of bile
not properly passed off, your disor-
dered stomach and biliousness can-
not be regulated until you remove
the cause.
It is not your stomach’s fault.
Your stomach is as good as any.
Try LIV-VER-LAX, it is purely
vegetable, do not resort to harsh
physics and calomel which ruins the
system and softens the bones.
LIV-VER-LAX acts gently, yet
positively on the liver, stomach and
bowels, it is pleasant to take and
does not gripe or sicken.
It is recomended for grownups and
babies alike.
You will be suprised at the amount
of bile a bottle of LIV-VER-LAX
will clean out of your system.
Buy a regular 50c or $100 bottle

the life of his
"Young Tom” was in a famous New
England school, preparirg for Yale,
j He was a good boy and a hustler, but
gymnastics and .he school paper ah-
ftorbed so much of his time and en
tbusiasm that he lagged in his studies.
The father went over the school re-
ports for several months and remon-
strated.
The boy replied that te was tired
of school and wanted to go to work
"All right," said the father, “but take
time to think it over. Work in thia
case means wort, and not sitting at
a desk or loafing around the office."
The boy made his choice. The
father put him ia a tannery in which
ho bad an Interest. He became a
member of a gang of
flesh from hides. He
payroll at $10 a week, the
the others, and out of tl at paid his
board. He Inhered eight hours a
day. for six day? a week,
keep up with the others,
forked.
He stood it manfully for eight
months; without a kick. Then he
went to his father and ovned to his
mistake. "I need more education,
and want to go to school," he said.
"All right.” sa:d his father, "but on
i what terms?”
i “I’ll stand at the head np my class."
