Holiday Dinner.
We all like to celebrate a holiday
with a bountiful dinner. Prepara
tions are made long before the day
arrives, so everything is ready for
the feast. But, how about your
stomach? If this organ of yours is
not in perfect shape, there is no use
of making any preparations for your
dinner. If your stomach refuses to
accept so much food as when you are
in full health, use Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine and you will be
prepared for a good meal. It has
given you a healthy appetite and will
strengthen your whole body. It will
give you full satisfaction in all dis
eases of the digestive tract, and, con
taining no injurious ingredients, will
be easily born on every stomach. At
drug stores. Jos. Triner, 6161622
