To and From the Table. Nobody should go to a dinner table unless he feels hungry, and everybody should leave the table as soon as his hunger is ap peased. It is a common mistake to eat at any time, without being hungry, and to remain at a table after the dinner is finished. This is the source of many digestive troubles, : like flatulence, con stipation and headache. The tongue is usually coated, there is bad taste in the mouth and fetid breath. You need Triner's Elixir of Hitter Wine, . which quickly cleans out the whole body and then strengthens the digestive organs. It is to be recommended in diseases of the stomach, the bowels and the liver. At drug stores. Jos. Triner, 1333-1339 So. Ashland Ave., Chicago. Do not let an accident to you find you Unprepared. ' Have always a bottle of Triner's - Liniment at hand. It quickly dispels pain. INSURANCE MONEY UPON THE LIFE OF MRS.
