Newman, Iona Sta- tion, Ontario: “Ever since leaving the army I suffered terribly from constipation. After spend­ ing a great deal of money on other rem­ edies, I took ‘Fruit-a-tives’. I can sincerely say it gave me permanent relief. I often thought testimonials were untrue, I will gladly assure anyone writing me that ‘Fruit-a-tives’ are all they are claimed to be,” “Fruit-a-tives” goes right back to nature. Apples, oranges, prunes and figs give to it their fresh juices which are in­ tensified and blended with tonics. Conse­ quently, the action of “Fruit-a-tives” is naturally corrective and strengthening. It is a positive remedy for poorly function­ ing stomach, kidneys and bowels. This day buy a box of “Fruit-a-tives” your­ self. Feel well, vigorous, again. 25c and 50c everywhere. dance in the evening.
