To Eufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it iB " A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care iB required while using it. It doeß not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m , its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever , been offered to to the public m a popular form. ALAXUM ««"•' Biliousness, Bilious Headaehe,°s Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomaoh, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition. I) NOTE THIS WELL,— The whole system of a human being may be ■perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the or,' uS of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- I dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create ! an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing I away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to bo ''just as good.', It may be belter — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m Euch an instance Hhe dealer ia not the one who needs help. a a |FROM ALL CHEMISTSI& STORE- KEEPERS. viW. 2s 6d THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD Should remind you that the best time- tc commence taking something is at the begin- ning.
