OUR POWER OF RESISTANCE AND ITS RESTORATION Every normal individual is im bued by the nature with sufficient power of resistance to withstand the ravages of disease, and the only ex cuse we have for succumbing to var ious infections is that we have in some way violated the laws of nature, which, lowering our power of re- ! sistance, has given the bacteria an opportunity to execute their deadly work. The best remedy for the re stitution of the power of resistance is Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It cleans out the stomach, re- moves all offending substances which become a hotbed of morbific bacteria .' from the intestines, helps digestion and restores the power of resistance. Price $1.10. At. drug stores. Triner's Liniment is unequalled in giving quick and sure rejief to those who suffer from rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago, strains, etc. Price 35 and 65c at drug stores, by mail 45 and 75c.
