One OF Many.

II. A. Tisdale, of Summerton, S.

cure is certain. DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve cures all kinds of piles,
cuts, burns, bruises, eczema, letter,

Pill Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or con
stipation you know what pill pleasure
is. These famous little pills cleanse
the liver and rid the system of all the
bile without producing unpleasant
effects. They do not grippe, sicken
or weaken, but pleasantly give tone
and strength to the tissues and organs
of the stomach, liver and bowels.

Better Than pills,

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to the
ordinary cathartic and liver pills?
Our answer is-They are easier and
more pleasant to take and their effect
is so gentle and so agreeable that one
hardly realizes that it is produced by
medicine. Then they not only
move the bowels, but improve the
appetite and aid the digestion. Only

Mr.. d. G. Uric, Cedar's up-to-
date meat purveyor, is extending his
business. We noticed while in his
shop day or two since that he was
filling an order for some choice steak
for party in Salt Lake City. We
should think those Salt Lake meat
dealers would follow Mr.. Urie's
example and advertise in the Iron
County Record, 80 that the people up
there would know they were in the
business. This, and the purchase
of only the best of beef and mutton,
such as Mr.. Uric keeps on hand,
would do much towards enabling
them to hold the market against out
side competition. OF course, their
prices must also be right.
