FO IL E s II TAR.

Extensive advertising has made many proprietary
goods sell largely for awhile, but in no case have
these sales been sustained, unless virtue has been
found in the articles themselves The continually
vertised, and its excellent reputation wherever
known, prove it to be no humbug.
Forest Tar Save for diseases of the skin and For-
est Tar Troches for affections of the throat are also
giving the best satisfaction. Ask your Druggist for
them, send % cents to the Forest Tar Co, Port
land Me, for box of either the Save or Troches.
