for both Men and Women mt
Just This Season of the Year.

81 ought TO take some spring medi-
cine. must take something, l feel so
miserable"
Such remark as this is often heard
at this time of the year. Nearly every
one seems to feel the need of some
remedy, because the passing from win
ter to spring. with its resulting changes
In clothing, food and exercise. has q
very trying effect on the system. Az
ter the severe strains of winter, the
health OF most people is not so good
as It ought to be, The appearance Of
warm, spring days finds them weak
and debilitated, feeling the need of
tone and strength.
This Is the reason why 50 many peO-
| pie are now complaining Of tired, ir-
| rltable, languid feelings They Won
der why 1t Is they have these dis
tressing symptoms.
The best physicians say that this
| weak condition Is caused by the liver
| being out OF order. There is too much
| bile In the system, This brings on
| dyspepsia and other miserable feelings
which make life a burden.
When the liver is irregular in It's
action the complexion becomes pale
and sullow there is sense of oppres-
sion after eating, bloatlng and bilious
| ness. Baclt-aches, side-aches and head
aches deprcss the spirits making the
sufferer feel discouraged and despond-
ent. II was to cure these disorders

| ways reliable and effective. For the
| past fifteen years Warmers Safe Cure
| has been before the public and achieved
Il success never cqualled in the history
| OF medicine, not only in the United
| states and Canada, but in Great Brit
ain, Germany, France aud Australia.
i The greatest physicians have strong
~ recommended Warmers Safe Cure
because II Is purely vegetable com
pound, containing no harmful drugs or
opiates, and because 1t does exactly
as represented. 1t permanently cures
all kidney, liver, urinary and nervous
disorders It builds up the system and
gives new life
When you are without appetite, are
| constpated, have u coated tongue, a
nasty taste In the mouth sick head

Respondent lack your accustomed en-.
ergy. The safe cure viii relieve all

strong ana well
Now is the time to put the system In
sound condition. This Ia the season &c
lay in a stock OF health 10 carry YOU
through the year. Nature demands the
use OF q powerful and timely remedy
| The testimony OF the thousands who
owe their health and strength to the
great safe cure above mentioned proves
that II is the most effective remedy
