Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.--As there is no difference in the
price, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both are brought prominently be-
fore the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass Judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by i. Taggart.

Controlling the Price of Wheat.

Events during the past few months in
the Chicago wheat pit has shown how
powerful one man can be. Throughout
the whole of civilization the increase
in the price of bread has been felt.
This power of a single man, however,
is not so great as that of n single
medicine in relieving and curing many
diseases. This is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, and it's influence for good
extends to all lands. When the mouth
tastes bad, in the morning, when appetite
is lost, when dizzy spells come on, when
you are easily tired and have no desire
to work, take a wine glass of the Bitters
before meals and you will feel like a
different person. This one medicine
controls the health of everybody.

lifelong nurse. No man has a right to ask
a woman to share the burden of his i'll
health, and that is what he does when he
asks her to be his wife. Ill-health in man
is almost invariably the result of disorders
of tile digestive and nutritive organs. If
a mans stomach is right and his liver
right, his blood will be pure and rich, and
his nerves strong and steady. When the
blood is pure and rich a man cannot suf-
fer from ill-health. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the great digestive
tonic. 1t is not a mere appetizer, but a
scientific aid to the natural processes of
secretion and excretion. 1t makes the APP
petite keen and hearty, promotes the flow
of digestive juices, makes thea assimilation
perfect, the liver active and the blood pure
and rich. 1t builds firm, healthy flesh It's
sues. 1t is the greatest known nerve tonic
and restorative.
Mrs. P. Mortenson, of Sanger, Oliver Co., N.
OAK, writes: DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is the best cough medicine l ever tried.
A little over two years ago l was afflicted with
a very bad cough and my home physician pre-
scribed Cod Liver Oil and other kinds of medi-
cine. He said 1 might go into quick consump-
ton and might die in two or three months. His
medicine did not do me any good. I heard of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and be-
gan taking it; when l had taken it about two
months, according to directions, my cough was
cured, and since that time we have always kept
your medicine i'll the house"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate and
i~nvigorate the stomach, liver and bowels.
