Ii has come when nature has been
outraged. 1t can only be banished
when nature reas-eri, itself.
The greatest work Of science is to
help nature make the necessary repairs.
That is what Puritana does. 1t works
hand in hand with nature. That Is
why no other medicine ever achieved
such great success in so short time.
Puritana is universal medicine. 1t
does not only act on the nerves
and liver, but it cures from head to
foot. 1t begins with the stomach.
The stomach takes care OF the whole
body and Purilana takes care Of the
stomach.
Puritana has brought to New Eng
land great revival Of health. 1t has
been advertised, 10 be sure, but not 30
much in the newspapers as by the
earnest talk and changed appearance
of those who have been cured.
The use of Puritana is rapidly be-
coming a necessity in all the New
England states especially, and every
where its success is marvellous. Ev-
erybody is talking about it aud nearly
everybody is taking it.
It's human nature to be sceptical, but
Puritana has made sceptics believe.
Puritana has an array Of facts in its
favor that have never been paralleled.
Puritana is the prize formula Of DR..
Dixie Crosby of Dartmouth, and has
the highest medical authority as well
as an uuequalled practical record.

liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic and Alternative is felt.

Cotton Letter

New York, June 2S.-(Special.)- )-The bulls in cotton were badly disappointed by the Liverpool market when it opened today. They had confidently expected that the large spot business there would continue and would give a new impetus to the mar ket. The spot sales proved to be libHfal but the early cables reported prices there but one-half point higher, and lster int the day they broke sharply. The splendid crop weather evidently was too much for the enthusiasm of the Liverpool bulls. our market opened two points ToWers After some moments of temporary strength gen eral liquidation set in and the prices slowly gave way until at the. close August opened at 7.S5, advanced to 7.37, declined to 7.27 and closed at FPS to 729, with the tone of the market quiet and steady.
