To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " 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 renewing the energy Alaxum is the beßt. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testified not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It doea oot ii ta -fere with the diet, habits or occupatioD, 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 publio m a popular form. ALAXUM cures' Biliousness, Bilious Headaohe,"£Dizzineßß, Costiveness, 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, g NOTES THIS WJHJLJLu— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derangement or weakness the)^ nl 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 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 stoimch, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutrition and new life from tho proper assimilation of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health Must follow. This is common seuse and cannot be gainsaid. Accept i!O substitute that maybe recommended to be "just as good.' " It may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, buc m buch an instance '^tho dealer is not the one who needs help.
