THE INTERPRETING DRUGaISTS HAVI WORD TO SAY TO THE READERS OI THE BER.

I've have been selling medicines for years and are pretty we'll informed about remedies, and when we tell you have the best cure for constipation 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 i'm mensely to its worth. You don't have to keep on taking Ames' Specific eyer lastingly. You can reduce the dose after 8 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 of securing a supply: We are selling ful!-sized DOC 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 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"

It is great convenience to have al hand reliable remedies for use in cases of accident and for slight injuries and ailments. A good liniment and one that is fast becoming a favorite if not a household necessity is Chamberlain $ Pain Balm. By applying it promptly to cut, bruise or burn it allays the pain and causes the injury to heal in about one-third the time usually re- quired, and as it is an antiseptic it prevents any danger of blood poison- ing. When Pain Balm is kept at hand sprain may be treated before inflam- nation sets in, which insures a quick recovery. For sale by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N.
