was avertei. Every few moments, a roar
like the peals of thunder or the booming OF

nificent building which has just been COM

spondent very courteously, and i'm the
course OF the conversation said:
We are doing tremendous business
and are far behind in our orders. This is
the season OF the year when people, no
matter how strong their constitution may

position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia

Is natural, therefore, that we should be very
busy. This is specially true of our Safe
rheumatic Cure, and il is crowding us very
sharply for "A new remedy"

do not advertise to cure all diseases from

other medicine men, but / supposed Warn.

three years perfecting this new remedy.
study first taught us there were certain
powerful elements in Warmers Safe Cure,
better known rs Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, that made wonderful cures in
chronic and acute rheumatism, but during
our investigation, we learned of "A remark

springs did not contain any valuable prop
critics, but the course of treatment that was
being given there was performing all tbs
benefit BY carefully combining the active
principles of this remedy with our Safe
Cure, we have produced our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, and the cures it is effccting are sim
ply wonderful, and do not doubt it will
become as popular as our Safe Cure"
You seem TO talk freely in regard to
your remedies and appear to have no Sc

None whatever. The physician with
his hundred calls and one hundryd diseases,
IS necessarily compelled TO guess at great
deal. We are enabled to follow up and
perfect, while physicians can only expert

/ And you find that you are curing as
