ORDINARY ACHES AND PAINS 
Of course there are a 
aches and pains that 
go with various and 
serious maladies and 
underlying causes and 
which on that account, 
cannot be relieved in 
any real sense unless 
and until the underly- 
ing disease itself igs 
brought under control. 
On the other hand, 
there are many types 
of aches and pains that are due to occa- 
sional and temporary conditions, such as 
over-exertion, strain or exposure to 
weather, and which may be relieved by 
prepared medicines without the services 
of a physician. 
Faulty elimination sometimes may be 
indirectly responsible for aches and pains 
in various parts of the body. When there 
is undue delay in expelling waste matter 
from the bowel tract, or when other or- 
gans of elimination are not doing the 
work nature expects of them, by-products 
or impurities may find their way into the 
blood stream and be carried to all parts 
of the body, often resulting in aches and 
pains in various parts of the body. 
Whatever may be the merits or demer- 
its of this theory regarding circulating 
irritants, there is or can be no serious 
question as to the wisdom of keeping the 
bowels open and of promoting elimina- 
tion through the urine by use of a stimu- 
lant diuretic to the kidneys, whenever 
the necessity of improving elimination of 
the waste products of the body is indi- 
cated. In using botanicals for such laxa- 
tive and diuretic purposes, there is the 
satisfaction of knowing that they not only 
will do what is expected of them, but 
that they are mild in action, when taken 
as directed. They contain no chemicals 
that act harshly or with upsetting effect. 
In this connection we must also men- 
tion our formula No. 99 Calumet Laxa- 
tive Compound, price 50c, so often re- 
ferred to in these pages and our formula 
No. 120, the herb tea that contains the | 
genuine Virginia Snake Root, better 
known to the physician as Serpentaria
