It was a game of base nail in

Sickness or Symptom?
Flatulence, or the forming of
gases in the stomach and intes
tines, was usually considered only
symptom of a disease, althougl
in some cases it is. a disease uy
itself. It is usually a nervous af
lection ol the sloinacn or Dowels
or both. In such cases you should
select a remedy .which would
quickly remove this unpleasant
and painful condition. We can
recommend you the well known
Triner's American Elixir of Hitter
Wine. It often removes the cause
of the sickness by a thorough
leansing out of tin: digestive
tract. It will bring the, inleslines
to their natural work, strengthen
the organs, create a good ap-
ictite and aid digestion. It will
elieve constipation and its .sc-
tuelae. At drug stores. Jo.s
