The complexion always suffers from biliousness or constipation. Unless the bowels are kept open the impurities from the body appear in the form of un­ sightly eruptions. DeWitt's Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition and remove the cause of such troubles. C. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., says: "I took DeWitt's Little Early Risers for biliousness. They were just what I needed. I am feeling better now than in years." Never gripe or distress.

Well, it's a good sign for Scott's Emulsion. The body has to be repaired like other things and Scott's Emulsion is the medicine that does it. These poor bodies wear out from worry, from over-work, from disease. They get thin and weak. Some of the new ones are not well made--and all of the old ones,, are racked from long usage. Scott's Emulsipn fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best ma­ terials are used in the patching and the patches don't show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait his turn. You can do it yourself--you and the bottle. This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle. Send for free sample- SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St,.
