ABOUT the 18th level, as deep as il has

The Perfect Liver Medicine

Mrs. NJ. A. Joley, Noble, 0. r., writes:
81 have used Herbine for a number of
years, and can cheerfully recommend it
as the most perfect liver medicine, and
the greatest blood purifier. 1t is a
medicine of positive merit, and fully ac-
complishes all that is claimed for it -
Malaria cannot find lodgment in the
system while the liver is in perfect
order, for one of it's functions is to pre-
vent the absorption OF fever producing
poisons. Herbine is a most efficient
liver regulator. soc at Elk Drug Store,

Very Remarkable Cure of Diar-
FhOea

about six years ago for the first time
in my life had a sudden and severe at
tack Of diarrhoea, says Mrs. Alice Miller
OF Morgan, Texas. 81 got temporary
relief, but it came back again and again,
and for six long years | have suffered
more misery and agony than | can tell.
1t was worse than death. My husband
spent thousands of dollars for ply
sicians' prescriptions and treatment
without avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque county, our present home, and
one day happened to see an advertise
ment of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea remedy with a testi-
monial of man who had been cured by
it. The case was so similar to my own
that concluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. | could hardly
realize that l was well again, or believe
it could be so after having suffered so
long, but that one bottle of medicine,
costing but a few cents, cured me-" For
