BETTS ON THE THE BEST.
THE ENTERPRIs1NG DRUGGISTS HAVE AWORD TO SAY TO THE READERS OF THE BEE.

We have been selling medicines for years and ale pretty we'll informed about remedies, and when we tell you that in Dr Ames' Pleasant Specific we have the best cure for constipa tion and dyspepsia that there is, we know what we are talking about. If there was anything we could recommend as strongly as we do Ames, rest assured we would do so. But there isn't an- other remedy in this wide world that will do the work as we'll. The cures Dr Ames' Specific effects are perma- nent, and the pellets being so small and the cure so pleasant adds lm- mensely to its worth. You don't have to keep on taking Ames' Specific ever lastingly. You can reduce the dose after few days and gradually the stomach and bowels become normal under it's influence. If you are both cred to digest your food or your bowels are constipated don't put off securing a supply. We'are selling full-sized soc packages for 25c now, and guaranteeing a cure or the money back. There couldn't be anything fairer than this offer could there? The doctor writes us that he will back us up in this guar antee-a cure or money back. This is a departure on the doctors part, as he has insisted heretofore on the guaran- tee being given only where the full price was charged. We challenge the worst cases to test our remedy"
 Messrs Betts & Betts, Sandy Hook, is the way those who order by mail address their letter. Send 25c in stamps or coin and the Messrs Betts send a regular soc package and guaran- tee cure just the same as though you bought at the counter. They pay postage,
