MAYDOLE'S HAMMER. (benSon'S Plaster is Pains Master)

When Maydole was told that he made Ia pretty good hammer,'' he said, ''No, I don't make pretty good hammer make the best hammer that ever acas made"
 Every carpenter who saw Maydole ham, mer wanted one. It was of the best ma- terial, perfectly balanced, and the head never flew of. Hammers were divided into two classes-1st, Maydole's; 2d, all the rest.
 Plasters are separated by the same line of cleavage; 1st, Benson's Porous Plaster; 2d, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain, cold, cough, kidney trouble or any other disease or ailment that may be treated externally, you ask for plaster, any hon. est, reputable druggist will give you Ben- sons. He knoaos it is incomparal ly the best, and he assumes that you know it too. As the name of Maydole stood for hammers the name of Benson stands for plasters- the "real thing" All the medicinal poten- cies that are valuable in a plaster are in Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna plasters are out of date.
 An army of physicians and druggists, and millions of the people, have written of Benson's Plasters as remedy to betrusted.
 Benson's Plasters have fifty-fve MgAest aaoards. Accept no substitute.

APHYSICIAN TESTlFIES.

'I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and have never used anything in my life that did me the good that did, :" says County Physician George w.. Scroggs of Hall County, Ga. "Being physician I have prescribed it and found it to give the best results" If the food you eat remains undigested in your stomach it decays and poisons the system. You can prevent this by diet ing but that means starvation.
 Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. You need suffer from neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The worst cases quickly cured. Never fails. R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; s. c.
