It softens the congested passages, disintegrates the hardened particles that occasion so much suffering and expels the accum ulated waste to the great relief of tho Datient. Following a dose of Fruitola. Traxo should be taken three or four times a day in order to rebuild and restore the system that has become weakened and run down from constant suffering. It is a splendid tonic, acting- on the liver and stomach most beneficially. Fruitola and Traxo are prepared In the Pinus laboratories at Monticello, 111., and arrangements have been made to supply them through representative druggists.
