bic, in order to compete successfully for
State arms. There will also be battery OF
artillery and pieces for brass band for dis
tribution. Every company in the County

esflarman SYrnn.v

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of its curative qualities as
BoscHEE's GERAAN SYRUP. In three years
two million four hundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine was distributed fret
of charge by Druggists in this country to
those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other
diseases of the throat and lungs, giving the
American people undeniable proof that
GERxAN SYRUP will cure them. The result
has been that Druggists in every town and
village in the United State, are recommend
ing it to their customers. Go to your Drug
gists, Simpson, Reid & Co., and ask what
they know. about It. Sample Bottles 10
cents. Regular size IS cents. Three doses
will relieve any case.

Next Town

Ahead where they loan you dollar and
chalk it down till tomorrow, for bottle OF
MERRELL's HErATINE for the Liver. The
enormous expense of importing the ingre-
dients of this great liver medicine into this
country, is why our Druggists, Simpson,
Reid & Co., sell but one sample bottle to the
same person for ten cents; but as there are
fifty doses in the large size bottles, it is cheap
enough after all at two cents per dose, for o
medicine that has never been known to
fail in the cure of dyspepsia and all diseases
of the liver. It has never failed in the cure
of liver complaint when taken as directed,
no matter of how long standing the disease.
It cures Chills and Fever, Constipation of
the Bowels, Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.
Sample bottles ten cents; regular size, fifty
doses, S.00.
