Clay eaters are found In the West Indies, Honduras and some of the re­ gions round the Orinoco. They are not necessarily of any particular tribe, for even whites have fallen victims to this degrading and fatal habit. The habit is contracted at as early an age as 12 years, and the craving once acquired appears to tie Irresistible. Confirmed clay eaters will He down and lick the earth where the edible clay Is found. They suffer from chronic dysixqisln and em aciation; but. In spite of the pain and weakness, they cannot do without the clay any more than the con­ firmed drunkard can do without his al­ cohol. In some localities this clay Is whitish gray, sometimes yellowlsh- 1 pink. There appears to be lime In It, and also the remains of minute organ­ isms. It Is sometimes eaten baked and sometimes raw. A confirmed cloy enter will take four, five, or even six imunds a day.

Being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, it does not disagreeably affect tlie system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market, which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S- S. tones up the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food; it rids the system of that always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It re­ establishes tlie healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms the unstrung nerves which m ake one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S. S. S. gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find our­ selves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season. It acts more promptly and gives better and n\pre lasting results than any other remedy, and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. Dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, debili­ tated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as for toning up and helping the entire system. W hen you take your tonic this Spring do uot experiment, but get the best— the tonic with forty years of success behind it, and the one endorsed by the best people all over the country— 5 . S. 5 . , THE GREA TEST OF ALL TONIGS . It is necessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every point, that the right remedy be used— one that is especially adapted to the condition, and S. S. S. lias proved itself to be this remedy for many years. If it is taken at the first sign of Spring the system will be so built up and strengthened that the disagreeable affections of the season will not be felt as warmer weather comes on.

Too L a t e ? all the Nourishment out of Baby's Natural Food. Larger children cannot always be watched, and will eat unreason­ ably. The Ready Remedy should ever be at hand— Cascarets— to take care of the trouble when it comes. No need to Force or Bribe chil­ dren to take Cascarets. They are always more than ready to eat the sweet little bit of Candy. Repulsive medicine forced on the little ones does more harm than good. AMA I Don’t b« frightened —but be warned I Every Mother knows, or should know, that the terrible Mortality among little children Is caused by Stomach and Bowel troubles. Colic, Sour Curd, Cholera Infantum, Summer Complaint. Measles, Rashes. Scarlet Fever —even Mumps—have their first cause in constipation. The Delicate Tissues of a Baby’s Bowels will not stand rough treatment. Salts are too violent, and Castor Oil will only grease the passages, but will not make and keep them Clean, Healthy and Strong. There Is no other medicine as safe for a child as Cascarets, the fragrant little Candy Tablet, that has saved thousanda of families from unhapplnsss. The Nursing Mother even In food health should always keep her own Bowels Loose, and her Milk Mildly Purgative by taking a Cascaret at ntght before going to bed.
