SPRING-TIME DELUSI0NS.
FACT vs.. CONJECTURE.
Few Valuable Hints to Those who are
Quick to Take Advantage of
Timely Suggestions.

just now the advertising space Of
the average newspaper is filled with
advertisements of spring time medi-
cines. blood purifiers, etc. When it
is understood as a scientific truth that
the kidneys, liver and lungs are the
only blood purifiers of the human
body, much disappointment and
money will be saved. Dizziness, pal
pitation, IaDguid feelings. headache,
backache, etc, are caused by the sys-
tenn being poisoned by uric acid.
which the kidneys, through over
work or weakness, do not eliminate.
The troubles mentioned are but symp-
toms. The cause lies deeper. Put
the kidneys and liver in working
order with that vegetable specific,
Warmers Safe Cure, and the symp-
toms and attendant troubles will dis
appear. With the system in first
class condition and the great organs
of life doing the work nature intended
them to do, most diseases are thrown
off. 1t is the weakened. debilitated
poisoned body which falls an easy
prey to chills. fevers, pneumonia, con-
sumption, Bright's disease and death.
No man or woman can afford to be
laid up with 4 severe illness. 1t is
the part of wisdom to keep well.
Miss Florence BufTum. Secretary of
the Ishwara Theosophical Society, OF
Minneapolis. understands this per-
fectly, and under date of January
oath last, writes: Il have found War
ner's Safe Cure of high value. 1t
greatly assists a WORKOUT system to
perform its duties, and whenever any
of my fIiends become languid or
pale and full of pains, advise them
10 try Warmers Safe Cure, feeling
assured that they will be satisfied
with the result" Miss Buffum's ex-
perience can be yours. Will you not
also enjoy it?

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system; and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at 7. H.

500 Reward 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages. and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being n
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative powers, that they offer
one hundred dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of tes-
timonials.
