THE TORTURE OF INDIGESTION Thousands Relieved By Taking “Fruit: The Famous Fruit Medici ‘What is Indigestion and what causes 1t? As you know, solid food must be changed into a liquid by the stomach before it can be taken up as nourish- ment by the blood. The stomach acts as a churn. It is covered by a strong, muscular coat and’ lined with a soft, delicate mem- brane ' which secretes the Gastric Tuice which digests or dissolves solid ‘ood. ‘When .food enters the stomach, the muscular coat squeezes and presses the food from end to end, or churns it,. with the gastric juice to dissolve or digest it. But—if the stomach muscles are weak—or if the dissolving fluid is poor or insufficient—then food cannot be ligested properly )md you have Indi- gestion. “Fruit-a tives” or “Fruit Laxo Tab- lets” are made from concentrated and intensified fruit juices and tonics. They will positively cure Indigestion and Dyspepsia because they tone up e stomach, bowels, kidneys ard %in, and thus insure pure gastric Aice and improved digestion. ves “Fruit-a-tives,” the only medicine made -from fruit juices, will correct rour Indigestion and enable you to mjoy every meal.

Manufacturers, jobbers | wnd retail merchants alike have operated on_a hand-to-mouth basis throughout ‘the pasf year, keeping their stocks as small as possible. Ac‘ual consumpiion of goods, on the oth‘r hand, has been: large al dis at present exceptional, as is shown by the emormous total of holiday pur- hases. “With retail rerchants’ stocks low ind thelr outstanding orders 'small it would seem that merchants must cail on wholesale jobbers and manufacturcrs for large quantities of goods during the next tew months. This in turn would result in ¢ high rate of manufacturing activity. “The year 192 will go down in busi- tess history as one of exceptional bufld- ing activity, There iy a shortage of building mechanics in many sections of New England, as in some other parts of the country, ani wages are—consequently high. 'The building industry win" prob- ably, have to watch construction costs more closely during the mext. year than it has In 1922, because they are con- siderably higher than they were & Yeaf Rgo. “Looking ahead into 1923 the prospects seém .« to be good, contingent, among sther' factors, on the willingness and oility of merchants and consumers to buy merchandise at the higher prices, necessitated by increasing ‘wholesale quotations and also on that ‘other im- »ortant factor, the forelg nsituation. “UndoubtedMs gne of the most optimis- se“factors in the whole situation -is-the toaund conditions of tie banking-systems ot the country.” DAMASCUS STEEL PRODUCTS .Hack Saw Blades that don’t dreak.
