That food has much to do with our health is a well known fact, but We must keep in mind that the same food acts dill'erently on dif ferent people. Some food is a delicacy to one person, while it is repulsive to the other. A sound minded man will naturally refuse lo eat food which does not agree with him and will, even in the slightest discomfort after meals, employ Triner's American Elixir of Milter Wine to regulate the di gestion. This remedy has a very energetic efTeot on the digestive organs and is a valuable remedy in troubles of the stomach and of the intestines, as also in nervousness and weakness, in pains and colics, in sudden at tacks of rheumatism and neuralgia. II contains no in jurious ingredients, consisting only of bitter herbs and red wine. At drug stores. Jos. Triner, 1 333 l: TM So. Ashland Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Taken Up.
