 FRS IA FULL MONTHS MEDICAL TREATMENT AND GUARANTEE A CURE FOR TWENTY-FIvE CENTS.
 Betts & Betts, the popular and reli- able druggists, have made arrange ments with the Dr Ames Medicine company-whereby they can sell their wOrld-famOuS and pleasant remedy for the cure of constipation, dyspepsia and biliousness, at half-price for limited time.
 This concession means that those who now suffer all the bangs of these distressing maladies can be relieved of pain and enabled to eat anything they choose if they'll but hurry and get a supply before BettS & BettS' time runs out, for they cannot continue to sell at half price much longer.
 Dr Ames' Specific is pleasant pei let, and unlike any other medicine for dyspepsia and constipation it is not necessary to keep up the full treatment for long time, but the dose is gradu- ally decreased after the first few days and the cure is permanent.
 Take advantage of Betts & Betts' offer and if you do not find relief they druggists have confidence enough in a medicine not put up by themselves to do this, but Dr Ames Specific assures them that there is not half dozen cases in this vicinity that it will not cure permanently.
 If you belch wind, are dizzy, see specks before the eyes, have a muddy complexion, or are constipated or bill ious, you cannot afford to allow this opportunity of cure to pass-the half price offer doesn't last much longer. Betts & Betts urge you to hasten. By mail, too.
