A MILLION BED BUG 3. Just think, a 85o package of the new grolden chemical P. D. Q. (Pesky Devils' Quietus), is enough to make a quart and enough to kill a million bedbugs, no matter how large they may be, where they came from, their age, color or sex, and at the same time leaves a coating on their eggs and prevents hatching. CUT THIS OUT. This new chemical can be had at any first-class drug store. A 35 cent package makes a quart of P. D. Q., and will gro farther than a barrel of old-fashioned bug

WIDOW PREFERRED TO MEET DEATH AT HOME "For many years I suffered from stomach trouble. All the doctors I tried helped me but little. All said I would have to go to hospital and be operated on for gall stones or I would not live much longer. I told them I preferred to meet death at home. One day I picked up an advertisement of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and since taking a course of it more than a year ago have not had a single pain in my stomach, have good appetite and can eat anything.

wife if it kept on helping me like it

had started I would never see the inside of a hospital for an operation. And sure enough, it kept helping me more and more each day. My pain began to ease up so that I was amazed. I began to want to eat and soon fund I culd eat plenty of good wholesome food and that it agreed with me perfectly and I began to sleep soundly every night and could just feel new strength and energy pouring into me. "Well, to put it all in as few words as possible, I have taken eleven bottles of Tanlac, and I just want to say If I ever had gallstones I don't feel a sign of them now. My pain is not only gone, but I have actually gained thirtytwo pounds in weight, and as I said I have undergone such a wonderful change that my friends hardly know me on first sight. So it was Tanlac that put me back on my old engine when I had about lost hope of ever being able to pull the throttle again. If anybody wants to get it direct from me what I think of Tanlac just send them to me, I'll be only too glad to tell them what it has done for me."

Many mothers who in order to keep the home neat and

attractive, the children well fed and dressed, continually overdo. The experience of motherhood alone causes a severe strain upon the system, from which many women recover slowly, and serious feminine disorders may develop unless great

remedy for woman's ills, restoring them to a normal, healthy condition. Mrs. Morgan's Case
