In races it is usual to give to the weaker men a handicap in order to make them able to compete with the strone-er ones. In the daily races of our life no such handicaps are granted. The strong man pushes aside the weaker one and races unmolested for wards. It is not the duty of those that are not strong enough, to try to gain more strength? The appetite of a man is the meter uf his strength. Do not allow your appetite to weaken, but use at once Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. This remedy will regu late the digestion and will increase your appetite and your strength. It is good in all stomach troubles, in nerv ousness and weakness. Use it as soon as you will feel indisposed. At stores. Jcs. Triner, 61G-G22 So. land Ave , Chicago, 111. drug Ash- Woicc.
