To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation ibis "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxdm, 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 v care is required while using it. Ib does nob interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m its action.

ALAXUM OTRES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, I Coativencea, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition] NOTE TJKLIS WJHJLX.,— The whole system of a human being may be ■perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the • ; » 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- 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 harmonioasly. Reaßon points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and ab 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 j the appetite is satisfied ib acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exoiting them to aotivity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the prcper assimila- j tioQ of the food; and where there is no organio disease health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be " just) as good,' . 10 may be b e tt c r — for the dealer — booauße of its better profit, but m Buch an instance thedealer ia not the one who needs help.
