Saving
Is Cents.

1t is a fact which all leading physicians
admit, that nine times out of ten patient
will recover without the assistance of a
doctor. With the advance of general knowl-
edge people understand better what TO do
for themselves. Medicines in themselves
can not cure; Nature alone can cure but
medicines help Nature. Take an illustra-
ton. Let us say you have sick headaches
occasionally. with dizziness sour stomach
and loss of appetite. You do not need 10
go to doctor, for every one will tell you it
is biliousness, and that what you need is a
liver pill TO clean out the bowels and arouse
the torpid liver TO action.
In this case you can buy many different
kinds of liver pills, but the best course is to
secure the liver pills and also some TONIC
PELLETS for purifying the blood and
toning up the system. so that you will not
be troubled again.
You can get both of these medi-
cines, in separate boxes, for one price
(25 cents if you ask your druggist for
RaInOn's Tonic Liver pills
and Pellets Together they cure
biliousness and constipation.

The Annie Greek Mob.

Concerning the mob of 800 going
out to the ditch Of the South Dakota
Mining Co. and forcing the men to
quit work. the Deadwood Independent
says that E. w. Martin stood in the
way and by failing to step aside the
crowd was so great and the ground so
slippery that he was ''brushed out" of
the way, and slipped and rolled down
into the ditch. and that Mr.. Lock
Jared about the same way. The In-
dependent reporter was one Of the
leaders, and closes bis account of the
affair in this way: "There was rush.
The scabs threw down their shovels
and picks and lsft the ditch in hurry.
1t was all over IN few minutes. Not
shot was fired. No RAIDER showed
gun. No man was clubbed. Not
blow was struck. There was no re.
sistance except the "stand" by Lock
and Martin, and this stand was plainly
taken for the purpose of making the
''push" they received the la>is of pro-
ceedings against the raiders for as.
sault."

SELF PRAISE.

Self praise is no recommendation, hui
there are times when one must per-
NIT a person 70 tell the truth about
himself When what he says is support
ed by the testimony OF others no rea.
sonable man will doubt his word. Now,
to say that Allcock's Porous Plasters
are the only genuine and reliable porou.
plasters made is not self praise IN the
slightest degree, They have stood the
test for oyer thirty years, and In proof
Of their merits 1t is only necessary tc
call attention to the cures they have
effected and to the voluntary testimon-
ials Of those who have used them.
Beware OF mutations, and do not be
deceived by Misrepresentation. Ash
for Allcock's, and let no solicitation OF
explanation induce you to accept a sub
stitute.
