WHAT DOES 1T MEAN.
Fact or Fiction about Tive Great Fair
Awards.

Awards.
A newspaper paragraph denounces
as "false" the claim of baking pow
der company to an award at the
Worlds Fair. Whom can it mean?
Certainly not DR.. Price's2 Why?
Because, as the records show, DIR.
Prices exhibited, competed and re-
ceived the highest award, both at Chi
cago and the California Midwinter
Fair. The award in California in
cluded the Gold Medal. The official
examiners pronounced it the strong
est, the purest, the most wholesome
and efficient Of all the baking pow
ders. It's title to confidence is I'M
questioned.
Can it be the manufacturers of Anew
York powder, fictitiously labelled "ab-
solutely pure" who are making "Ialse"
claims? That would be strange In
deed, inasmuch as they were not even
considered in the awards.
Was it Ammonia in the New York
powder that prevented its makers
from competingH II not, what?

II is fact which all leading physicians
admit, that nine times out of ten patient
will recover without the assistance of
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 to
go to a doctor, for every one will tell you il
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
RamOn's Tonic Liver Pills
and Pellets. Together they cure
biliousness and constipation.
