We wish to caution all users of Simmons
Liver Regulator on a subject of the deepest
interest and Importance to their health
perhaps their lives The sole proprietofs
and makers of Simmons Liver Regulator
learn that customers are often deceived by
buying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator. We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, OF
anything c-tlled Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. II. Zeilin & Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else is the same We alone can
put it up, and we cannot be responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you Is you are led to expect they
will. Bear this fact well in mind, ifyou have
been in the habit of using medicine which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula-
tor, because the name was somewhat like
it, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all The-Regulator has
been favorably known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
Fever and Ague, Bilious Fever, Constipa-
ton, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from Diseased Liver
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red z
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.

Mrs. G Q. Newcomb, of st, Louis
finds herself "a new woman in the
best sense of the word
An invalid woman is always a sad
sight-sadder even tt at that of an in
valid man, because of her greater ca
pacity for suffering
Neuralgia, back aches, fits Of depres-
sion and headaches comtel her to
think or work with half her brain.
while the other half throbs as if it
would go to pieces. There are no more
striking examples of the great practi-
cal value of Paine's Celery Compound
than are heard from the lips of women
who have be made veil.
Its ability to relieve those ills that
seem to be peculiarly the misfortune
of women is overwhelmingly proven by
innumerable testimonials from women
in the highest standing in the commun-
mites where they live,

now,
Bring your son, and do not delay,
Strike Andrews for passes, ere the lease

We have watched your career since
you left our camp
And entered the Populist fo'd,
Heard ou champion silver at Is to 1.
Saw you vote for Mckinley and

Abbott, dear Abbott, come home to us
now,
Wewill try you ION probation) again,
If you need your compass to find your
way back
We will send it and your. tripod and
chain,
You have not done very much for the
State.
But you've been a big card for the
press,
It has given you much notoriety free,
AS martyr you have proved sue
Abbott, dear Abbott, come home to us
now,
Leave broken reform promises be-
hind you.
Return to your bees and farm in the
Fork
Where Reynolds and Hileman can't
find you.
There you can quietly rest and reflect,
Hear the owl moot and the mocking-
bird sing,
Under no obligation to caucus resolves
On your own dupghill you are King.
Abbott, dear Abbott, you had as well
come home,
Like the prodigal, repent and come
back,
You will cut no ice with the Republi-
cans now,
Since you snubbed the brother in
black.
We admire the pluck with which you
stuck
While facing impeach ment or pris on,
And on your tomb this epitaph we'll
put,
