In the good old days when Bustan: charged twenty-five Nene for a perrih when Delmonico's was the place to go for dinner and the padlock was unknown, many a man with the best intention failed to get home before the milkman came, But did the old New Yorker hold his head all next day and suffer? He did not. He mixed a glass of Tarrant’s Seltzer-Aperi and walked briskly to his office after his hot cakes and sausage. Tarrant’s is a marvelous saline that you rink like a mineral water. It is pleasant to the taste and brings almost immediate relief. Since 1844 doctors have prescribed Tarrant's for indigestion, constipation, headache, dys jia and rheumatism. 154,627 physicians’ letters in our files testify to its effectiveness, A little of this perfect blend of basic salts and other harmless jients in a glass of | water makes a wonderful drink. Get a bottle of time-tested, pe roved Tarrant’s from our druggist today. ¢ it a regular morn is drink. Just ask for Tarrant’s. |FIRST THING IN THE MORNING f TARRANTS SELTZER APERIENT SK FOR wr” Tarrants “ Readers of Humorous Weeklies Are Usually Good Humored Themselves and Like Good Humored Things and Folks :— Therefore THE ALAMAC HOTEL at Broadway and 71st Street, NEW YORK Should Be Your Haunt For Indeed This Is a Hos telry of Cordial Courtesy and Smiling Service.
