Its Value.

N several occasions since

, benefit of those who may
- come after me l have referred.
in the most modest and delicate man
ner, TO my Pilgrim Pain Alleyiator.
While waiting for 4 new stock to ar
rive, and being laid up with a boil on
my leg at the same time, l propose to
take advantage of the opportunity to
make the public further acquainted with
the merits of my wonderful remedy.
In the first place, my Alleyiator has
nothing whatever to do with roots.
herbs and banks. 1t is composed Who'll
~ of drugs and chemicals and can be
used either to commit suicide or get
well on.
As the sole and original inventor,
am not around telling people what they
had better do in the matter 1t is my
business to sell the Alleviator to any
one having the cash.
In the second place, where the ALE
viatOr fails to cure it is like falling off
a bridge into the water. If you don't
drown, you've had the experience any
way.
claim for my remedy that it is good
for either sex or any color, and that it
can be given to the babe in the cradle
or the old man in the chimney corner
Many so called remedies are afloat that
will not touch the case of an Indian or
a cOlored man. Mine includes every
body, even the members of the beef
trust.
You don't have to keep in Il cool nor
a hot place-down cellar nor upstairs.
Any old place will do. 1t is like in
terest on money in a savings bank
working away for you nights, Sundays
and holidays
No flies settle on the cOrkS of my
bottles. Every cork is treated until
it can be warranted nonfyable This
fact alone is as good as a mark down
sale.
The bottles are made extra strong.
ard when the Alleviator is all gone
they can be used for eIderberry wine or
to knock down harvest apples with. \
murderer in Joliet prison writes me
that they are far better than sand
bag as weapon to lsill Il country con-
stable with.
My AlleviatOr can be taken on a full
stomach, an empty stomach or on no
stomach at all, and that is one Of my
strong points. You don't have to carry
the bottle around in your coat tail
pocket and wait for something to hap
pen. Just pull the cork with your
teeth and begin to feel that life is
worth the living

wife ran away, some one stole my dog
and the house burned down. 1t was
supposed by all that l could not sur

friend of mine sent to you for a bottle
of your AlleviatOr. After taking four
doses l chased the doctors out of town.
After taking one bottle l found my
dog, and before the third bottle was
gone | had Overhauled my wife, boxed
her ears and made arrangements for

edy but yours could have acted in this
manner, and l want the world to get
