Weak Women To wook and ailing women, there U at least on* way to help. But with that way, two treatments, must ba combined. One is local, one is constitotional, but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop's Night Core is the Local. Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional. The former —Dr. Shoop's Night Cure —isa topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop's Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and all blood ailments. The "Night Cure”, as its name implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and sunbition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonis to the system. For positive local help, use as well Dr. Shoop’s Night Curo W. H. NACHTRIEB. W. R. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tenn., writes: “This is to certify that I have used Orion Laxative Fruit Syrup for chronic constitaption, and it has proven, without a doubt, to be a thorough, practical remedy for this trouble, and it is with pleasure I offer my -conscientious reference.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
