COSTS NOTHING TO TRY
The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier," tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a largo
qimuur,y nau to De taken to get any
effect. . '
Nowadays we get all tho beneficial
effects of sulpliur in a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far' more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
' In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the 'best sul
phur for medicinal use Is that obtained
from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are
small chbcolate coated pellets and con
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur ln a highly concentrated, ef-
tucuve xorm.
Few people are aware" of the valuo
ofrthis form of sulphwvfin. restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor arid
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory organs and puri
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often, worse than
the disease, and can not compare with
the modern concentrated preparations'1
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Wafers is undoubtedly the best and
most wmeiy used.
They are the natural antidote fpr
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood In a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. R.- M. Wilkins, while experi
menting with sulphur remedies, soon
found that the sulphur from Calcium
was superior to any other form. He
says: "For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
rrom copstlpatlon or malaria, I have
been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
In patients suffering from boils and
pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles, I have repeatedly seen them
dry up and disappear in four or five
days, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Although . Stuart's Calcium
Wafers Is a oronrletarv nrtinlo n.nii
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet I
know of nothing so safe and reliable
for constipa"tion; liver and kidney
troubles and especially in all forms
of skin diseases as this remedy.
At any rate people who are tired
of pills, cathartics and so-called blood -"purifiers"
wijl find in Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers, a far safer, more pal
atable and effective preparation.
