But all are honest and sincere. That is why any one can prove for himself the genuineness of Puritana cures.
 Puritana patients get well.
 This is fact.
 There are reasons for it.
 Puritana is the discovery of Prof Dixi Crosby.
 Hewasthe greatest New Hampshire physician of his day.
 He was at the head of the Dart mouth Medical College for genera ton.
 He used common sense, and found that disease or health came to the body through the stomach.
 He scientifically compounded a stomach medicine from the harmless products of nature.
 This is Puritana.
 It makes the stomach right.
 That is why it makes the health right.
 With sound stomach no one can help being well.
 That is why Puritana patients get well.
 Chemists say that Puritanai is good medicine.
 They also say it is well made, The materials are the purest and best that money can buy.

Druggists say it is good medicine. Their customers buy it and are more than satisfied with it's effects.
 What the people say about Puritana you have read before. and you will read again.
 The thousands of Puritana cures are becoming better known every day. The patients are real people.
 The cures are real cures.
 They can be proven in court.
 They can be proven by any medical society.
 They have been proven before the tribunal of Public Opinion.

June 20, Frank c. Atwood of Salisbury
came to this place on business and
hitched his horse near the Congregation
al church. When he went for his horse
he could not find it. After searching
for the rig some time and not being able
to find it, he. came to the conclusion that
it was stolen. Mr.. Atwood went home
by stage. H. NJ. Gipson, on inqulring,
found that rig answering the descrip-
ton of the one missing had been seen
by several persons. Later in the day it
was learned that Allison Blackmer's
boy, nine years old, had been seen sever
al times with the team. That night
when the boy came home he admitted
having taken the rig and said that he
had left it in the bushes near the stone
mill, about mile from the village. The
wagon and harness were found there,
but no horse. A search was made for it
Sunday morning and the animal was
found about three miles north of the
village. When the officers went to
Blackmer's house to see the boy the
father went to call him, and few min
utes later the father and son were seen
running across the lots. Officers we're
sen: for and spent all day Sunday search
ing, but could not get any trace of the
pair. 1t is supposed they hid until night
and then went to New York state. Mr..
Atwood came here Sunday and took his
rig home.
