Alavnm NKVER fails any one m .ri.lclA.Ulll such a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxdm, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements an'l dieeases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxdm is the best. Its j secondary effects are marvellous. Many ( persons afflicted with copstipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to tho fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does nob interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m its action. It is ab 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 OUKBS Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizzinesß, Coativeness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE 17X-XIS WJEI.JL..,— The whole system of a human being may be j perfectly sound, and yeb through derange- ment or weakness the organs 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 sco 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. Wibh 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 away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The Byatem 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* Thia is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.' •Ib may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, bub m such an inatsuce tho dealer is not the one who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE- KEEPERS, PRICE 2s 6d McDonald and McDiarmid's sale has now only fourteen days to run, and as they have to give up possession by August 15, we would advice all m wanb of foot wear to inspect their really firsfc-olass stock before purchasing c' .where. ii.oz;iiq r jcjsij\
