A Natural
Remedy
Time was when disease was thought to be due to the direct influence of evil spirits, and exorcism and magic were invoked to cast it out.
Science has taught us wisdom. The evil spirits exist still. We call them "Disease Germs," and they also must be cast out. Once lodged in the stomach or intestines, fever with its hallucinations, cr biliousness with its aches and pins, is the result.
ENO'S
FRUIT SALT
is the approved remedy for driving out disease germs.
Its action is quick and thorough. It clears the intestines, rouses the torpid liver to new life, stimulates the mucous membrane to a healthy .action, and cleanses and invigorates the whole
digestive tract.
It may be safely taken at any time by young or old
It is very effective in the early stage of Diarrhea. by removing the irritating cause.
