There is a time when a little medicine is not only good, but necessary for the system, but tho, trouble with some people is that they neyer know when to take medicine. There is no living person who ia absolutely in sound gcod health, and moot of us suffer from httle irregularities, which in the end develop into great diseases, and find their cure in the coffin, unless dealt with in their incipient stages. When the digestive organs refuse to assimilate the food ; when the liver acts sluggishly ; when the kidneys do not properly ptrform Iheir allotted duties— then is the time when a little medioine is needed, and tbe medioine you need is Impey's May Apple, the ideal family medioine. It is Nature's groat cure for constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia, and all ailments of the stomach, liver, and kidneys.
