AN ARTICLE OF MERIT.
Free Test Distribution of brakes
Palmetto Wine Being Made in Sa-
Vannah.

Free Test Distribution or brakes
Palmetto Wine Being Made in Sa-
Vannah.
Less than twelve months ago the
name of brakes Palmetto Wine was
unknown to readers of the Morning
News, but it is now household word
among thousands in Savannah and
surrounding territory. 1t is a matter
of no little surprise that a meritori-
Gus preparation can win its way into
the homes of so many in this brief
space of time. The secret. however.
can be told in very few words. The
manufacturers, knowing its curative
qualities, advertised their preparation
and at the same time distributed sew
eral thousand test bottles among those
who desired to give it a fair trial. The
immediate calls upon the druggists for
the regular size bottles demonstrated
the fact that the article was one of
merit.
These same druggists will also bear
further evidence to the fact that
brakes Palmetto Wine will do just
what it claims, these facts being CLEAN
ed from words of praise from satisfied
trial and reaping benefits therefrom,
desired others to know its merits.
In order to further establish brakes
Palmetto Wine among those whom it
will benefit, the manufacturers are
making another free test distribution
in Savannah, a. sample bottle of which
may be obtained from the following
druggist, Masonic Temple Pharmacy,
102 Liberty street, west, corner Whit
aker.
The reproduction of nearly 100 tes-
timonials, selected at random from
several thousands, speaks volumes for
the merits of the preparation.
They do not try to prove what it will
do for you. test bottle and fair
trial will demonstrate in the most fore
ible way. If you are sick and look
ing for a cure, they claim to have the
remedy that will cure you. Call and
secure test bottle before the supply
is eXhausted-ad.
