Many people hesitate to try medicine for a
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of its benefiting them;
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: Any person suffer-
ing with cold, cough or sore throat, that will
call at W. B. Bakers or any other drug store
and purchase a bottle of HALES COUGH
CORDIAL, use one half of it and, if they then
conclude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back theil
money. No medicine ever sold IN this yicini'
ty, that produced so magical results Don't
fail TO trv it. 47m4
