The Whip -May Spur Him on for :i Short Ii-taii-e. When ahorse becomes worn and tired he may be urged on by the whip in the hands of a heartless driver, but reason would say, let him rest and feed and give him time to recuperate, then he will renew his journey with ease and without fatigue. When the 6tomach becomes tired and weak from impure blood a doso can be taken that will stimulate it on to do the work of digestion, but it is only a stimulant, and soon the stomach becomes dependent on this assistance. The proper and only way to have a healthy stomach is to make the blood pure and the liver healthy. Knox Stomach Tablets are a new combination of remedies tried and tested. They purify the blood, make the liver healthy, and cure nervousness, dyspepsia, biliousness, loss of appetite, catarrh, and constipation. A single box will restore the bloom of health to the cheek and send pure blood coursing through the veins. An immediate relief for indigestion and a positive cure for dyspepsia. If unable to secure them of your local druggist, 6end fifty cents to the Knox Chemical Co., Uattle Creek, Mich., and a full sized box will be sent postpaid.
