When Food
Sours
Lots of folks who think they have
"indigestion" have only an aeid condition
which could be corrected in five or ten
minutes. An effective anti-acid like
Phillips Milk of Magnesia soon restores
digestion to normal.
Phillips does away with all that sour
ness and gas right after meals. It pre
vents the distress so apt to occur two
hours after eating. What a pleasant
preparation to take! And how good it is
for the system! Unlike a burning doe©
of soda—which is but temporary relief
at best—Phillips Milk of Magnesia neu
tralizes many times its volume in acid.
Next time a hearty meal, or too rich
a diet has brought on the least discom
fort, try—

OLD DOCTOR'S IDEA
IS BIG HELP TO
ELDERLY PEOPLE
"7/ , •
' ■ In 1885, Dr. Caldwell made a dis
1 covery for which elderly people the
' world over praise him today!
1
Years of practice convinced him
' ! that many people were endangering
their health by a careless choice of
laxatives. So he began a search for
>;a harmless prescription which would
> be thoroughly effective, yet would
I; neither gripe nor form any habit. At
. last he found it.
Over and over he wrote it, when
| he found people bilious, headachy, out
of sorts, weak or feverish; with
coated tongue, bad breath, no appetite
or energy. It relieved the most
obstinate cases, and yet was gentle
with women, children and elderly
people.
Today, this same famous, effective
prescription, known as Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Peosin, is the world's most
popular laxative. It may be obtained
from any drugstore.

Keep Your Money
in the Bank
Are you troubled by having yjur money "burn a
hole" in your pocket? That is a common fault of mon
ey. If you have your money in the bank, whether it be
much or little, it will not burn any holes and it will be
there when you need it.
Money carried on the person is a temptation to
spending. Money in the bank does not offer this temp
tation. You may hesitate before writing a check where
you would not hesitate to spend it if you had the mon
ey with you.
We offer you the advantage of our banking facili
ties and invite you to open a checking account with us.
