APHYsIeIAn,s ADVICE.

II you are suffering from general de-
bility, nervous prostration, sinking
spells, etc, superinduced by impure
blood, weak kidneys and liver, etc, do not
resort to alcoholic compounds, nor use
remedies that cause too great activity
of the parts affected. It is far more wise
to use a mid alternative like Or. Guy.
eott'e Yellow Dock and Sarea-
narjlla, This remedy contains nothing
Injurious to the most delicate constitu-
ton, and its use gradually builds up and
strengthens, while diuretic and cathartic
compounds tear down, wear out and de-
stroy.
DIR. Guvsott's Ycllou Dock and Saysopa-
rtlla restores impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and
1t invariably gives satisfaction to all who
use 1t.
Do not forget that any druggist will
procure the remedy for you, especially
when they flnd you will not be persuaded
to try some other preparation on which
they make more money. You will find
its effect most wonderful. Your old
energy will return, your natural force
come back, and you will feel altogether
new person, full of health, strength and
vigor. Former invalids speak highly Of
the preparation, and all acknowledge it
a perfect health restorer, especially in
diseases of facilitating nature having
a tendency to poison and thin the blood,
thereby weakening the urinary and d.
gestive organs, and exhausting the
brain and nervous system
p6- Worn out and enfcebled con-
stitutions, suffering from dyspepsia,
impure blood, weak kidneys, nerv-
BUSINESS, ETC., can be cured By
using this remedy. Take no other.

Robert Johnston gives an illustra-
ton of the value of a mellow and cul-
tivated soil for preserving moisture in
drouth. A portion of his ground was
full of weed seeds, and to give the
strawberries and vegetables a fair
chance he had to keep up a constant
cultivation. The season was very dry,
and so great was the contrast between
this portion of his garden and the rest
that persons who stopped and saw the
difference would hardly believe that it
was not in consequence of the mellow
and cultivated portion being watered,
although no water was given to it

For Good Purposes

Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, of 1889 Ridge Ave.,
Philadelphia, is we'll known to the ladies
of that city from the great good she has
done by means of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham of a recent interesting case. "a
young married lady came to me suffering
with severe case of Prolapsus and Ulcer
alton. She commenced taking the Com
pound and in two months was fully restored.
In proof of this she soon found herself in
an interesting condition. Influenced by
foolish friends she attempted to evade the
responsibilities of maternity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in a most alarming state and
suffered terribly. I gave her a tablespoon
full of the compound every hour for eight
hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much
relieved and evidently better. She con-
