KINGS ROYAL GERMETUER

Is established as remarkable success. Thou
sands OF testimonials attest its virtues. Many
of these are given by men and women OF high
est standing in the most honored walks of
LIE. In the midst of flourishing and rapidly
business the price Is reduced from
ST. so to SI0O per bottle. This is done in the In
terest of those whose circumstances in life
deter them from paying the higher price. The
rich who have tried it will buy at any price.
but the managers feel that q medicine which
possesses such wonderful powers should be
placed within the reach of the poor. Many
have said that .'Germetuer" was the cheapest
m edcine on the market. When 1t Is remem-
bered that q bottle of concentrated Germetuer
makes gallon of medicine ready for use 1t Is
certainly cheaper than ordinary medicines as
to bulk; and when the powers of the medicine
are tax en- into account the price is inconsider-
able. The present price Is the result of the I'M
paralleled success OF the remedy and the BUSH
ness.
Germetuer is the coming success that has al
ready come. ASK your druggist for it, and If
he cannot furnish you send direct to Kings
