Means What he Says.

E Though Combinations strong as proofs Oh
Holy Writ" and as numerous as the sands on
the sea shore, were produced to prove that DR..
Pierce, the proprietor fDr. Sage's Catarrh REM
dy, is in earnest and means what he says, when
he offers $500 reward for any case of Catarrh
which he cannot cure, yet there would be some
skeptics and fogies who would continue to shout,
"HUMBUGW HUMBUaiP' "It cannot be, be-
cause DR.. Homespun says Catarrh cannot be
cured" Now, this DR.. Homespun is the identi-
cal, good natured old fellow who honestly. be-
lieves and persists in declaring that this earth is
not round or spherical, but fiat as "slap-jack,"
and does not turn over, otherwise the water
would all be spilled out of Deacon Bascom's
mill pond. But astronomical science has posi-
lively demonstrated and proven that DR.. Home
spun is wrong in supposing this earth to be fat
and stationary, and medical science is daily
proving the fact that he is no less mistaken and
behind the times in regard to the durability of
Catarrh. In short it has been positively proven
that this world maores, and that medical science
IS progressire-the opinion of DR.. ~HHAespun to
the contrary notwithstanding. ThNN Sage,s
Catarrh Remedy will cure CatarHh 4hOusands

Then buy it, and use it, in doubt do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over the land.
