The Joy of Living.
To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out of life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the time and the poisons
that should be expelled are absorbed
into the system, producing headache
and indigestion. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets will move the
bowels, strengthen the digestion and
give you a chance to realize the real
Joy of living. Try it.
W. J. Donahue and F. A. Howes,
both of Council Bluffs, Iowa, were
in the city most of the past week
working with John F. Gorder. for
the International Harvester Com
