AD VERTISEMENTS. vn Liver Troubles. What the Stomach cannot do for us when out of order the Liver tries to set right. Within limits it can and does do this. But if too much overworked the Liver strikes, upsets its own functions, and we feel the Disorder in every painful way possible. The usual symptoms of Sluggish or Disordered Liver are Constipation, Coated Tongue, Bilious- ness, and Nausea, particularly on rising in the morning. Severe frontal Headache, Pain between the Shoulders, and feelings of Faint- ness. The Appetite is poor, or altogether lost. The Temper is Irritable, and there is often Palpitation, Sleeplessness, and Weakness with Nervousness and Low Spirits, verging on Melancholy. Guy's Tonic has a stimulative power on a Sluggish Liver, and exerts a Tonic and cor- rective influence in all cases of Disordered Liver. And while providing for present benefit, Guy's Tonic ensures more lasting good by so strengthening and invigorating the Stomach and its Digestive powers, that the Liver is relieved of the overwork that is probably the cause of all the trouble. \" By far the Best Tonic.\" Rev. Jackson Harding Point Cottage, Tollcross, Glasgow, writes :— \" I have used Guy's Tonic in my family \" for Stomach Troubles and Liver Com- \" plications, and its effect has been such \" that 1 never fail to recommend it in these \"cases. It is by far the best Tonic I have \" ever tried.\" \"Congested Liver and Dyspepsia.\" Mr. G. MUNSON, Streatham Hall, Exeter, writes :— \" I have been suffering for some time \" from Congested Liver, Dyspepsia, and \" consequent Nervousness. I have taken \" two bottles of Guy's Tonic, and find it \" doing me a great deal of good.\" \" Severe Liver Complaint.\" Mr. J. H. Kkjht, of Albert Street, Wednes- bury, Staffordshire, writes :— \" Having suffered from severe Liver \" Complaint for the last three years, with \" Pains in the Back and Mental Depres- \" sion, I have tried nearly everything \" without benefit, but after taking three \" doses of your Guy's Tonic the Pains in \" the Back have entirely gone, and / feel \" as I have not done before for several years. \" I shall recommend Guy's Tonic wherever \" I go.\" A new size (Six-Ounce) Bottle of Guy's Tonic, price is. l&d., is now on Sale at all Chemists and Stores.

AD VER TJSEMENTS. PLEASANT PASTIME, The business of sweeping the carpet U no longer a toilsome, irritating piece of drudgery, for it becomes a pleasant pastime when the carpet is swept with the \"EWBANK\" Carpet Sweeper. EWBANK H CARPET SWEEPERS | (British Manufacture) merely require pushing to and fro on the carpet. The brush penetrates the pile, eradicating the oust and grit without any wear on the carpet, collecting it in a closed receptacle. Sweeping carpets with a broom is productive of many evils, and countless forms of sickness result from dust being breathed into the nostrils. The age of a. Carpet is lengthened by years when swept regularly with a EWBANK instead of a Broom. SPECIAL POINTS: Hand-Made Brush of Purest Bristle. 5 Moving Parts only. Spring Ball Attachment.

AD VERTISEMENTS. xxiii REMEDIES BILIOUSNESS BY CLEANSING AND STIMULATING THE LIVER KUTNOW'S POWDER DISPELS BILIOUSNESS AND ITS KINDRED SYMPTOMS BY CLEANSING AND STIMULATING THE LIVER AND PROMOTING THE FLOW OF THE BILE INTO THE INTESTINES. Samples Sent Free. Anyone that suffers from biliousness is likely to also suffer from low spirits, headache, insomnia, nausea, etc., as all these troubles are simply so many evidences of a torpi'd and disordered condition of the liver. The bile is intended to be a natural deodorant and aperient, but when the liver is deranged, instead of the bile getting into the intestines and aiding in the digestion of the food, it becomes mixed with the blood and causes the skin to assume the yellow tinge recognised as an evidence of biliousness. When this occurs the most effective remedy is furnished by a course of KUTNOW'S Improved Effervescent Carlsbad Powder, which, by washing out of the liver the impurities that unhygienic living has caused it to become clogged with, restores all the digestive organs to an active, healthy condition. Kutnow's Powder also renders the bile more fluid, thereby promoting its flow into the intestines and further helping to dispel the biliousness which the liver disorder has produced. With the restoration of the liver to healthy activity the low spirits, headache, insomnia, nausea, and other symptoms of its sluggishness will disappear, and the appetite will improve, the energy increase, and the entire system be benefited. Kutnow's Powder is an aperient in which the drastic, lowering, and nauseous features of the ordinary aperient medicines are entirely absent. It is composed of the most curative, healing, and purifying elements of the Continental mineral-spring waters, plus a few other simple and health-giving ingredients. It contains all the curative, cleansing, and medicinal properties of the most famous of these waters without any of their undesirable properties. It remedies and relieves practically every ailment for which the wealthier class of people visit the Continental spas, and is found particularly useful in treating those diseases that arise from an excessive accumulation in the system of uric acid, and for this reason many of the most eminent medical practitioners in this and other countries constantly prescribe it for rheumatism, gout, eczema, sciatica, etc. SAMPLES OF KUTNOW'S FREE. FOR ONE MONTH from this date Messrs. S. KUTNOW & CO., Ld., will send a Sample of KUTNOW'S Improved Effervescent Carlsbad POWDER FREE and POST PAID to every adult applicant who names The Strand Magazine when writing. KUTNOW'S PONDER may be obtained in capsuled bottles of all Chemists and Medicine Vendors. Price (in Great Britain,), as. od. per bottle; or post free (in the United Kingdom only) for 3s. from the London Office. See that the Registered Trade Mark, Hirschensprung \" (or Deer Leap), and the autograph facsimile signature, \" S. KUTNOW & CO., Ld.,*' are on the label and carton. Only these insure genuineness.

It looks and tastes like cream, and the most fastidious take it with pleasure. BECAUSE while the gain in weight from its use is fully equal to that from cod-liver oil, it has besides healing and curative virtues which cod-liver oil does not possess, and which particularly adapt it to the treat- ment of Consumption and all chronic lung affections and wasting diseases. BECAUSE by its soothing, healing, and anti-fermenta- tive action in the alimentary tract it arrests noxious fermentation, soothes and cleanses the mucous membrane, and keeps the digestive organs in a healthy condition to perform their functions naturally. In this way it promotes healthy assimilation of ordinary food, thereby rapidly increasing weight and giving to the system greater stamina and power of resisting disease. ANGIER'S PETROLEUM EMULSION is prescribed by the Medical Profession for trouble- some Coughs, Weak Lungs, and all Chronic Lung Affections and Wasting Diseases; also for Stomach and Bowel Disorders of a Catarrhal, Fermentative, Ulcerative, or Tubercular nature.
