DR. BURNHAM'S SAN-YAK Aot* aa a Living Antiseptic In the Stomach and Intestines. San-Yak prevents seif poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents clogging of the colon and caecum; hence its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterlo sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble Is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, and you can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; It is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. |I.OO per bottle. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, Decatur, Ind. — o— CARD OF THANKS.

True Secret of Keeping* Youthful Looking (The Beauty Seeker.) “The real accret ot keening young-looking and beautiful,” wyi u well-known hygienUt, “io to keep the liver and bowala normally active. Without these reiiuiaitea, poisonous waMte products remain In tno system, polluting the blood and lodging in various ojgans, tissues, joints. On: becomes flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. “But to get liver and bowels working Ofi they ought, without producing evil after-effeetu has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had in convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or 1U root, which has been called ‘vegetable calomel’ because of its effectiveness—though, of course, it ia not to bo clashed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. There Ih no habit-forming constituent in ‘sontanol* tablets —that’s the name —and their use is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dime’s wor*h will do—will prove a revelation to any constipated, livertroubled person.” | The Constipation Curse ~| Constipation - clogged bowels cause pain and sickness; 95 per cent of our ills, say the authorities. Sentanel Laxatives bring quick relief. All vegetable — contain no calomel. Ten doses for a dime at any druggists. Physician's sample free, upon request, if you mention this advertisement. The Sentanel Remedies Co., Inc., 800 Madison Ave., Covington, Ky. DOCTOR SAVESA BLACKSMITH. Some time ago I was taken with kidney trouble which caused me to give up my work as blacksmith. I lost my appetite and could not sleep, from the dreadful pains that would come over me, from my kidneys. I was treated by a physician for about three months. He could not pelp me so finally he prescribed Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. 1 started taking same and before I had finished taking the first bottle 1 began to eat and sleep better than I had in a long time. I continued to take same until I was entirely cured and took on considerable weight. I am now back working at my trade again and never felt better in my life. I appreciate what Swamp-Rdpt has done for me and will recommend it to anyone who surfers with their kidneys. When physicians fail to give relief i n 1 then prescribe Swamp-Root, they sure know of its merits. 1 am. Very truy yours, S. A. HALE. State of New York, County of Monroe, ss: S. A.
