it daily and already feeling the effects OF
its health-giving properties.
The market is today flooded with pro-
prietary articles of all kinds. Some arc
good, some are bad, some harmless, whilc
others possess little or no medicinal prop
crty. The sale of "BloOd Wine" has
been developed purely on its merits, for
the manufacturers have always held
aloof from advertising, believing that to
thus present it might prejudice the minds
of some, as there are people who think
that any advertised medicine is ''quack
nostrum."
'Blood Wine' is scientific prepare
ton; in fact, one Of tho most potent Of
recent discoveries in materia medica.
If you should summons physician, re-
ceive his advice, accept his prescription,
have it filled and conduct yourself &C.
cording to his instruction, you must DO
at an expense Of from say Sl.5O to 81. 90 or

and the druggist who compounded your
prescription.

tie of this excellent French remedy
which will do as much for you as your
physician and druggist combined, pro
viding of course that BLOOD Wine will
suit your case. 1t is not cure-all; it is
not medicine that will cure disease af-
ter death has already frightened its grasp
upon the unfortunate victim; it is sense
less for anyone to make such claim of
any medicine, and no honest proprietor
speaking to the intelligent masses will do
it. BLOOD Wine" will not disappoint
you. It has worked wonders in thou
sands and hundreds Of thousands of cases
in the cities 1t will cure in a great
many instances where other remedies
and doctors fail. twill prevent coughs,
colds, grippe, pneumonia, consumption,
Bright's disease, rheumatism, indiges-
ton, constipation, nervous disorders and
infections Of the blood, and it will bring
about a permanent cure of any Of these
diseases excepting when consumption or
Bright's disease is in the most advanced
stage. If your lungs are beginning to be
affected, if you have poor appetite,
are sleepless nights, are losing flesh, or
notice a slight cough, are nervous and
fidgety. ''BlOod Wine'' will cure you.
Go to the drug store and inquire
abo1t this celebrated preparation; see if
it suits your case, sample it, read the
literature and make thorough investi-
cation. If satisfied invest fifty cents for
full bottle and notice its wonderful ac-
ton. ''Blood Wine'' contains no wine or
opiates. You will not be humbugged, you
will not be fooled, you'll get your mon
ey's worth many times over.

but you can sample it free of charge at
