Al the year round

Medical Discovery works the best.
1t purifes the blood.
It's not like the sarsaparillas,
which claim to do good in March,
April, and May; you can depend
upon it al,oays. That's why it is
guaranteed. If it doesn't benefit or
cure, in every case for which it's
recommended, you have your money
back.
No other medicine of its kind
says as much = but no other does
as much. 1t cleanses, renews and
invigorates the entire system. For
all skin, scalp and scrofulous affec-
tions, as Eczema, letter, Salt-rheum,
White Swellings, Hip-joint Disease,
and kindred ailments, it's a positive
cure.
