What Shakespeare Might Have
Said.

What Shakespeare Might Have
To take or not to take: that is the question.
Whether tits better for man to suffer
The pangs and torments OF indigestion,
Or something take, and, in its taking end them
Shakespeare didn't say that but very likely he
would have said something similar, II he were
living in this 10th century, when so many suffer
untold agonies from Indigestion. OF course ne
would have gone on to say that man must be a
fool not to take the something" which would put
an end 10 the "pang and torments" spoken Of If
he could get it. Now it is a fact that weakened,
impoverished blood brings on indigestion, which
is the cause Of dyspepsia constipation-a poisoned
condition of the whole system-and it is fact,
also, that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
will so purify the blood and enrich it that all the
weakened organs are revitalized and strength
ened. 1t is guaranteed to do this. II lit doesn't,

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't mere newspaper guar
antee, but con call in
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sagc's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out Of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better
