Sunshine is Poured Into the Soul of ! , the Sick Do You Want to be Happy? Happiness Is the real goal man hopes to reach. It is the substance of life; it is the proudest dream of both rich and poor None stands so high in the world's achievements that one would not strive to be happy and none so lowly that he would not struggle for the came purpose. Who. would not be happy? it l s the everlasting refrain that fills man's soul from the cradle to the grave. When asked what would produce happiness, one would answer, “Gold,” but alas, wealth only feeds pride, but never the soul s innate longing. Happiness is like a sunbeam that steals into the heart quickening the pulse and Imparting to the voice a joyous ring. What happiness can there be when the cheek is pale the lips quiver and the body staggers under the weight of dreadful disease? Suddenly there is light, he is flooded with it, the golden wealth pours into the soul it enters every fiber of his being, touches every nerve of his body and strengthens every organ of the system the sunshine produced by P.C.W. Special Treatment. Once more upon awakening at early morn, the sun peeps into the chamber, the birds warble sweet carols, and the flowers are filled with the richest perfume. Yes, to the richest perfume. Yes, to the dark and wearisome there has come the Creator's choicest gift to man—health and hapiness. Do you want to be happy? Do you want to get rid of that bad headache, sick or bloated stomach? Despondency, nervousness, that is caused by the stomach and liver constipution? Do you ache with rheumatism? Listen, make up your mind today to try P.C.W Special Treatment, the great vegetable cure for diseases of stomach, liver, kidneys and the blood. Try it today. HOLTHOUSE DRUG COMPANY
