3 A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, A]nVi i m NJfiVER fails any one m x * iaALUII such a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Jiliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by AiiAxuM, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renewing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellouß. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testified not only to its immediate relieving properties bub to the fact that the care lasts. No care is required while using it. Ito does not ii t« :fere with the diet, habits or ocoupatioD, and produces no inconvenience m its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, 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 CDRES Biliousness, Bilious Headache^Dizzineßs, Coßtiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Fains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the "system of nutrition.} NOTE THIS WELL,— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derangement or weakness the .•■".» n of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impoverishment; of the whole being. Such a condition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to eec 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, aud 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 Datural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomjch, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutrition and new life from the prcper assimilation of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and caunot be gainsaid, Accept no substitute that may he recommended to be "just as goo,l ' If, may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m bucli an inptance'^he dealer is not the one who ne ds help.

Dear Sir, — For some time past I have been suffering from a most painful cough. I had quite given up hope of its ever leavirg me, at leaßb or the remainder of the winter, and feared that it had beoome chronic, seeing that other remediea failed to give me relief, much leas cure. The pain became f o intense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I procured one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, and I may say that I hadn't an atom of faith m its curative properties, but felt that I must take something to ease the pain. I drank contents of first boltle very freely, and am thankful to Bay m less than twelve hours I was wholly free from cough. E. W. Sbabs. P.S. — Nearly three months since oougb egftu,— E,W*S.
