C. Dille- luiy, 513 Morton St, Nashville, lYuitola and Traxo is the only suc- cssful remedy for gall stone trouble In a letter to the Pinus laboratories Mr. Dillehay says, "After a leading Mashville physician had failed to relieve my wife, and we were told an operation was necessary, I heard of Fruitola and Traxo and we decided to at least give it a trial. I hci this medicine as directed and after I four doses she was relieved of nearly a quart of gall stones, conclusive evidence that an operation was by no means necessary. Fruitola and Traxo are compounded from the original Edsall formulas at Ihe Pinus laboratories in Monticello, 111., and can be purchased in Decatur at the Decatur Drug a doctor's prescription is not necessary.

Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an intestinal Jubricant and disintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effccthe to build up the weakened, rundown system.
