 You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui as she took it. Thedford's 8 Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure is simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and has health. The same medicines are offered you to-day.

What Did the
Doctor Ask You Z
FIFTY CENT BOTTLE FREE.

Wanted to know II your bowels were
regular, didn't he? That tells the secret
Aof health. Keep your bowels in a normal
condition and no matter what your all
ment, you won't be sick very long. You
can't cure constipation with salts, castor
oil or any other physic. Physics weaken
the system and destroy the digestive or
gans. You need just the opposite effect.
Mull's Grape Tonic will not physic you.
II strengthens the muscles and enables
them to move voluntarily. Constipation
Is the rottlng of undigested food and from
this purifying mass there arises poison
Gus disease germs which will undermine
the strongest constitution.
Mull's Grape Tonic is used In nearly
every hospital and prescribed by many
physicians. 1t Is guaranteed to cure the
worst case Of constipation quickly and per
manently. Here Is what one of the many
hundreds OF cured persons have to say
about II:

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From The Governor OF Oregon.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and commentator testifying to the
merits Of Peruna as catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DIR. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
rs their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well nigh UNIVERSAL; almost ON
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be-
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
it's victims Peruna not only cures ca
tarrh, but preventsit. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, coles and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it con-

to use IL for other ailments. E4
Yours very truly, W. M. Lond
1t will be noticed that the Goverpolf
says he has not had occasion TO use Pei
runa for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most otter ailments begin
with cold. Using Peruna to promptly
cure colds, heprotects his family against
other ailments. This is exactly what
every other family in the United States
should do. Keep Peruna in the house.
Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and
other climatic affections of winter, and
there will be no other ailments in tho
house. Such families should provide
themselves with copy of DIR. Hart
