Feb. 3rd. 1914- "It is a pleasure to me to inform you that after -suffering" ~from Chronic Constipation for 2% years, I have been cured by "Fruit-a-tives". While I was a student at Berthier College, I became so ill I was forced to leave the the college. Severe pains across the intestines continually tortured me and it came to a point when I could not stoop down at all, and my Digestion became paralyzed. Some one advised me to take "Fruit-a-tives" and at once I felt a great improvement. After I had taken four or five boxes, I realized that I was completely cured and what made me glad, also, was that they were acting gently, causing no pain whatever to the bowels. All those who suffer with Chronic Constipation should follow my example and take " Fruit-a-tives " for they are the medicine that cures".

Every gardener knows that a tree can be fed and made to grow with increased vigor. If proper nourishment nourishment in the form of humus, nitrogen, nitrogen, phosphate, etc., be placed about its roots the tree will absorb absorb this food and grow rapidly. But how the tree feeds is somewhat somewhat more difficult to explain. In all probability the tree digests its food first and consumes it afterwards. afterwards. Certain it is that the aver age tree has no means of consuming consuming food as a whole, as members of the animal kingdom absorb it. It is well known that the larvae of cer tain insects digest their food first and consume it afterward. Observation Observation would indicate that thiy is exactly what the tree does. The tiny rootlets act on the substances in the earth, dissolving and breaking breaking them up so they can be absorbed through toe root pores. In order so to be taken up the chemicals mus be in liquid form and devoid of all waste. . , The end of each root is armed with a horny substance with which it can burrow through^ the hard soil in search of food. When food is found it is dissolved into a liquid and absorbed by the root fibres. F rom the root the food is eai ried by the sap to all parts of the tree.
