Medicine

according to one of the wise old thinkers of the past, possesses two important qualities. It "restoreth us our health when we lose it" and it "preserveth our bealth while we itave it." Probably no popular medicine possesses these two qualities in greater measure than Beecham's Pills. Beecham's Pills restore and also preserve the health. They are excellent to take when the system is run-down and in need of a gentle restorative. Brecham's Pills act upon and through the organs of digestion- the regular and harmonious work- ing of which is of the first impor Laace. They speedily correct irregularities and restore healthy conditions. It has been abundantly proved that the occasional use of this well-known medicine will go far to maintain the general health in a state of efficiency. Enjoy good health therefore, by taking that good medicine-

Beecham's Pills.
