BOXERS MAKE GOOD UMPIRES
Hon. John /. Sullivan Would Make a

iible and that believing voice of his
was always heard in the farthest cor

Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without
fail. the following paragraph. She
will learn something about herself she
never knew before.
Thompson's Rarosma is not only a
wonderful kidney, liver and bladder
cure. but has particular advantage
as a remedy for Chronic Female Weak
ness. Palpitation Of the Heart, bearing
down sensations, Nervous, Debility,
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Dropsical
Swellings. It's peculiar advantage lies
In the fact that it is both female reg
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb is situated back OF
and very close to the bladder. A wo-
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes 1t to fe-
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder. Hence woman making this
grave mistake will find sure remedy
In Thompson's Barosma, for whether
she Is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease of the kidneys, liver and
bladder, Barosma will effect a perma-
fent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma Is the best wo-
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.

UNCOMMON WISDOM.
Sistersville People Should Profit
By Neighbors' Experience.

It's a wise man who profits by
the experience of his friends and
neighbors. Here is chance to do
it, and every man, woman or
child in Sistersville who knows
the misery Of a bad back, the ner-
vousness and restlessness caused
by kidney complaint or the an
noyance of urinary disorders, will
show uncommon wisdom to profit
by this citizen s advice.
Frank Huff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
Parkersburg, says: "My kidneys
were always weak, but during
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing
a good deal of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espec-
tally when STOPPING or lifting, and
I was so bad sometimes that it
hurt me to straighten. When I
took cold it affected my kidneys
and back more than any other
part, and I was compelled to do
something for it. I went to a
drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me-"

BraiA Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, puriies the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..
