Alwavs 10 Be Depended Upon.


When a person gets up In the morn
ing with dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling. It's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out Of order.
At such times Nature. the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills. which
has been In use for over century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

about this, but to very many Colombans we saw
passports refused.
One family, for all 1 know, may be at Puerto
Colombia to this day They had come in on French
steamer, having been in Paris for four years. When
they had left Colombia, the senior had been in high
favor with the powers that were. In the meantime,
however, the Government had changed Several

land, found himself under political cloud that

were his family, practically prisoners in a Colombian
