BEWARE OF COUNTERFElTS.

"DeWitt's is the only genuine Witch Hazel Salve" writes J. l.. Tucker, of Centre, Ala. "I have used it in my family for piles, cuts and burns for years and can recommend it to be the best salve on the market. Every fami- ly should keep it, as it is an invaluable household remedy, and should always be kept on hand for immediate use. " Mrs Samuel Gage, of North Bush, N. Y., says: ''I had a fever sore on my ankle for twelve years that the doctors could not cure. All saives and blood remedies proved worthless. 1 could not walk for over two years. Finally 1 was persuaded to try DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, which has com pletely cured me. It is wonderful relief" DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures without leaving scar. Sold by R. H.
