 vent, Did More Than Many Doctors.

Your pocketbook as well as your health needs consideration, but often both suffer through ignorance of the right thing to buy. That was the case with the gentle man who wrote the following letter:
 ''Thousands of dollars have paid out to doctors during my life and I don't com- plain of the doctors; but Dr. Kennedy's new medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, beats them all. Three bottles of it cured me last spring of heart trouble and terrible pains in the side, back and head. Am bet than for thirty years" "-H. J. Brandow, Jewett Centre, N. Y.
 For $500 invested in Cal-cura Solvent MT. Brandow got what he had spent thousands for in vain. Your case may be like his. It costs only $1.OO for bottle of Cal-cura Solvent at any drug store.
 Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kenne- dy Row, Rondout, N. r., for free sample bottle.
