"MAN IS AS OLD AS HIS STOMACH." THIS.PERSIAN'EPIGRAM" IS THE ; REAL GAUGE OF A MAN'S LIFE. The' Persians were a very • sagacious people, noted, among other things, fox their deep thinking on life and the things which make up life. The above epigram shows the wisdom of their thought. When a man's stomach* is able to furnish new material to the system as fasl or faster than tho natural decay of man> requires, then such a man lives his fullest and his best. When through wrong living or disease a man s stomach begins to tax the other organs, and takes from the blood strength which it cannot give back in nourishment taken from food, then begins the death of man, and he decays fast. Tho stomach is strong, splendidly strong, and can stand an untold amount of abuse and neglect, but when it dies, man dies. The'stomach gives tons upon lons of good rich blood every year to the system, and draws only 6801b. of nourishment for its own use. If,, however, the food which it receives cannot, be turned -into blood, which'is capable of use by tho body, theii the stomach receives no help from the other organs. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules contain the most perfect digestive qualities known to science, and at the same time tho most powerful. They will mix with the poisonous juices of a sick stomach, and digest food in spite of this handicap. They will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of tho whole. digestive canal, including those of tho stomach.' • A single ingredient contains strength enough to digest 3000 times its weight in mixed food. '.' They have stood the test of time, and to-day are more sought after than all their itaitators combined. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules are obtainable everywhere at 2s. 6d. per tin of 80 Tabules.. _ 12 Mrs. Nowed: "Oh, John, I baked a cake this morning, and set it on the window sill, and a tramp camo along and stolo it. . I feel like crying." Newcd: "Oh, don't cry. One tramp less in tho world doesn't matter." Pendleton—"What are the two greatest wishes of a medical student?" Kefer —"Give it up. What are they?" Pendle-ton--"To put 'Dr-' before his own name and 'Dr.' after the names of other peopie."- '
