WHAT ON EARTH

Is the reason people will not, can not,
or do not see any difference in cheap
nostrums put up BY Cheap John
houses or irresponsible parties at enor-
nous profits, rather than take II medi-
cine OF worldwide reputation, and one
that is giving universal satisfaction at
equal price? No medicine in the world
is giving such unparalleled satisfaction

BLOOD PURIFIER AND BLOOD
MAKER, and every bottle that does
not do its work will cost you nothing.
