A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. /L] N KVER fails any «na m jTViaXlini F, U ch a predicanti'nt. To Mifferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Bi'iousness and Constipation it ia •• 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 beat. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testified not only to ita immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occupation, 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 aB the most valuable medicine that has ever j been offered to to the public m a popular form. ALAXUM CTOES Biliousness, Bilioua Headache, Dizziness Coativeness, Sour Stomach, Loss o Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence?, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE THIS WELLThe whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derangement or weakness the organs of the boay may perform cheir 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 sco tho 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 thaa 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 system then receives nutrition and new life from the proper assimilation 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 recommended to be "just as good.' It may be htUa—for the dealer— because of ita better profit, buc m such an instance the dealer is not the one who needs help.
