A Vain Cry For Help. To assist those in need, every one of us is always willing. A cry for help never remained unheard in this coun try, except one tliecry of our stomach. Loss of appetite is the cry. We run to assistance burdening the poor, sulT ering stomach with foods undigestible, making the conditions worse. Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine is the only help needed, because It will strengthen the stomach sulllciently to accept and digest the food. Loss of appetite readily disappears, giving room to an enviable desire of food -no matter what kind of food. As soon as the stomach works, all organs perform their duty, because new blood, pure and rich, made of healthy digested food, brings nourishment to every par ticle of the body. Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine, is the only natural blood purilier and blood-builder. At drug stores. Jos. Trincr, "'.!) South Ashland Avenue, Chicago, III. Pilscn .Station.
