JUST LIKE FINDING MONEY.
BETTs X RETrs, THE RELIABLE DRUG GISTS, OFFER A POPULAR ARTICLE A HALF PRICE.

BETTs < RETrs, THE RELIABLE DRUG-
 GIsTs, OFFER POPULAR ARTICLE AT
 HALF PRICE.
 .Retts & Betts, the druggists, are finding money, for they are selling a regular soc bottle of Dr Ames' Pleas ant Specific for the cure of conStipa tion, dyspepsia and biliousness at half price. In addition to this large dis count in price they agree to refund the money if it does not cure.
 It isn't often you can buy soc pieces for a quarter, but that is what this of- fer really means, for it is only through the personal solicitation and earnest endeavors of Betts & Betts that this medicine can be bought for less than soc. They urged the Ames Co. to allow them to sell at half price for short time, agreeing to sell certain amount. The sale is justifying their good judg- ment for the sale is immense. Anyone who suffers with dizziness, eye ache or headaches, dyspepsia, sour stomach, constipation, or liver trou- bles of any kind, should take immedi- ate advantage of this opportunity, for Dr Ames' Specific is certain cure for 99 cases out of 100, but if your case happens to be the one you can have your money back. Betts & Betts will return it.
 The Ames Specific is very pleasant to take, coming in the form of small pellets, and there's a full months treatment in every bottle. Sufferers from indigestion or headaches when on journeys should always carry.a supply when travelling.

above all, 8 woman who has had more experience in treating female ills than any living person.
 Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pink ham every year, some personally, others by mail. and this has been go- ing on for twenty years, day after day.
 Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experi- ence. especially when it is absolutely free.
 Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con- fdence of women, and every testimo- nial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been.
 Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as I had female ills and could not kind letter of instructions and followed your advice. am not only well woman in con sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so much for me-"
 Just as surely as Mrs. seydel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills.
 No other medicine in all the world has such 8 record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substi- ute which a druggist may offer. If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special advice. It is free and always helpful.
