HOW Do YOU Do

when you buy shoes or clothing?
Don't you go to the place (if you
can find it) where they tell you that
you may wear the articles out, and
then, if you're not satisfied, they'll
refund the money? Why not do
the same when you buy medicine?
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is sold on that plan. It's
the only blood purifier so certain
and effective that it can be guar
dnteed to benefit or cure, in every
case, or you have your money back.
It's not like the ordinary spring
medicines or sarsaparillas. All the
year round, it cleanses, builds up,
and invigorates the system. If
you're bilious, run down, or dys-
peptic, or have any blood taint,
nothing can equal it as remedy.

The purple shadows of evening were

Then came a long stretch of desolate look

of the weird ruins of Castle Dunstaffnage

when 1t did show the effect was distinct
ly an unpleasant one. It would be the
same now. As to a white stocking with

The only use for white stocking lie
with a white costume and q white low

Don't notice the report that white stock

practically an impossibility. 1t will be
the same with white hosiery.
