A MEDDYBEMPS SENSATION.
A Remarkable Recital of a Re-
markabIe Fact.
Full and Interesting Particulars
of a Case that Attracted
Wide Attention.
Mrs. Adeline Munson. Who Resides in Meddy
bemps, Maine. Declares:

For many years past / have been afflict
ed with general debility sleeplessness, and
numbness in my hands and feet, caused
by poor circulation and impure blood
Was at times affected with headache, diz-
illness and severe vomiting, as my food
would not digest properly. In later years
my nervous system seemed to give out en-
irely, and general paralytic-lilSe numb
ness came over me. l have tried numerous
kinds of sarsaparillas without obtaining
any benefit from them. They not only
proved valuelcss, but I believe actually
harmed me; my stomach could not retain
them, and grew steadily worse.
About year ago, heard of the Red
Seal Sarsaparilla, that was said to be pre-
pared by an entirely new and thoroughly
scientific method, whereby certain poi
sonous principle, very harmful to the diges-
tive organs, and which is brought out in
some process, was entirely eliminated
I found great relief in the first few doses
of the Red Seal Sarsaparilla, and after
taking three bottles l found myself en-
tirely cured, and, although 81 years of age,
/ feel stronger and younger today than /
have for many years past.
believe the Red Seal Sarsaparilla to be
the best medicine of it's kind, and strong
ly recommend it to all who wish for
sncedy cure T will cheerfully give full
details of my case to all who wish for
further particulars.
Red Seal Sarsaparilla is for sale every

figure as the motive in the majority of
these suicides, for most of the persons
are those in comfortable circumstances.
