HAN the reader believe that there is still
~ a few human beings suffering with dis
ease, that refuse to give Bulls Sarsapar;la

nevertheless it is too true. What kind Of
testimony would it take to convince the
few remaining disbelievers. that Bulls
medicine will do more even than II prom
ises. 1t is more than useless to produce
any more evidence of its curative pro er-
ties. 1t would cost fortune to publish
the many certificates that have been show
cred on DR.. Bull. The largest mammoth
sheet in America would not contain even
the names of those cured-let alone full
statements of their cases.
This medicine, when used according to
directions, will cure without fail

been constantly following oiling after

does not wish to lay out plans for others

that all the existing popular features of the
