Good Results

Are always pleasant to contemplate, as every
dyspeptic sufferer who uses Parker's Ginger
Tonic will attest. To obtain from this rem.
edy the most gratifying relief when distressed
with Headache, Low Spirits, Nervousness,
Wakefulness, Palpitation of the Heart, Liver
Disorders, Costiveness, Pain in the Stomach,
Heartburn, Cramps, etc, is a pleasant expe-
rience that surprises no less than it comforts.
Another remarkable feature Of this remedy is
its powerful specific action on the skin and
mucous surfaces Of the throat and lungs by
which il unfailingly cures the worst cases Of
Cough, Cold and Sore Throat. Ii cures in
wonderfully short time, removes all soreness
from the lungs, and protects the feeble from
Consumption. Buy Sl.O0 bottle from your
druggist, Joseph B. Boyle or A. II. Huber,

merits. febl6-4t
