Ahead where they loan you a dollar and
chalk it down till tomorrow, for a bottle
of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver. The
enormous expense Of importing the ingre-
dients of this great liver medicine into
this country, is why our druggists, in
Brookhaven sell but one sample bottle to
the same person for ten cents; but as there
are fifty doses in the large size hotties, ii
is cheap enough after all at two cents per
dose, for a medicine that has never been
known to fail in the cure of dyspepsia and
all diseases of the liver. 1t has never
failed in the cure ofliver complaint when
taken as directed, no matter Of how long
standing the disease. 1t cures Chill and
Fever, Constipation of the bowels, Dyspep
STA and Liver Complaint. Sample bottles
ten cents; regular size, fifty doses, 81 90.

and have seen it in use for the past two
months. 1t undoubtedly purlhes the wat
er, is convenient and easy to manage, and
the simplicity of its construction rem
ders it almost impossible for it to get ont
of repair. / believe it to be the best meth
cd of raising water for drinking purposes
that has ever been brought to my notice
l believe that its general use it only a
question of time, the fact of its undoubt-
eddy rendering the water pure is merit
enough in itself without r%eciting its other
advantages, as impure water is a princi-
pal cause of i'll health and disease in our
climate. Yours Truly,
