Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that

toon realized. It stands the highest for
Its remarkable record of succeis.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as

that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
njedium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
