American tradition.
Like the inns of olden
times, today's tavern
provides a friendly
haven for relaxation
and refreshment.
Some equally refresh

been established in

"Heaven Help The
Man Who Will
Not Act"
By Phil Blakney
There are times in every
one's life when lack of act
ion may result in great
harm. When a person is
sick and pain, sleeplessness
or other annoying symp
toms persist it is time to
act quickly to discover the
cause and proper cure.
Delaying to consult a
physician can often prolong
illness. Self treatments us
ually do not permanently
cure the cause of sickness.
Let your physician pre
scribe the medicine his ex
perience and knowledge
judges is best for you.
