THE ONLY KNOWN MEDICINE
that at the same time
Purges, Purifies and Strengthens
tho System.

=Dr. TUFTS Pills are composed OF many ingredi-
ents. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry so united to act together; the one,
through its admixture with other substances puri-
flying and purging while the other is strengthening
the system. Thus hese Pills are at the same time
tonic and a cathartic, adesideratnm long sought for
by medical men, but never before discovered. in
other words, th9y do the work of two medicines and
do II much better than any two We know Of, for
they remove nothing from the syhtem but lmpu l.
ties that while they purge theV also strengthen
and hence they cause no debility and are followed
by no reaction,
DIR. TuIt's Pills have a wonderful influence on
the blood They not only purify without weakening
It, but they remove all noxious particles from the
chyle before 1t is converted into nuid, and thus
makes impure blood an utter impossibilty As there
is debilitation 80 there is nausea or sickness
attending the operation of this mOsL excellent med-
cine which never strains or toTtnres the digestive
organs but causes them to worK 10 perfectly natu-
raj manner; hence persons taking them do not be-
come pale and emaciated but on The contrary, while
all Impurities are beiDg removed the combined ac-
tion OF the saIsaparilla and Wild Cherry purnes
and invigorates the body, and robust state oi
health Is the result of their united tion.

WOmen's Rights.

One of the undoubted rights Of a married
woman Is to be protected by her husband
from the chances OF future dependence, or
the possible destitution that is likely TO re-
suit from his early death, before he has had
time TO make sufficient provision for her fu-
ture support and that Of the children he may
leave behind him.. One of the most certain
means of making this provision is by means
of a policy of Life Insurance, as u small an
nual payment will secure a large amount at
his death to the family of the insured. One
Of the safest of these companies is the Penn
