A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

81 have noticed that the sale on
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
lets is almost invariably to those who
have once used them," says Mr.. J. II.
Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade,
Iowa. What better recommendation
could any medicine have than for peo-
pie to call for it when again in need of
such remedy? Try them when you feel
dull after eating, when you have a bad
taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have
no appetite or when troubled with con-
stipation, and you are certain to be de-
lighted with the prompt relief which
they afford. For sale by F. A. Shurt-
left & Co., E. P. Parlin, South Paris;
Stevens, Oxford; Noyes Drug Store,
