MR. DAVE FULTON
 TALKS TO REPORTER
TELLS WHY COLONEL DlLLlNG- HAM IS ABLE TO CREATE DE- MAND FOR PLANT JUICE REMEDIES.

Several parties were standing around the new soda fountain at Fulton's drug store when gentleman came in and called for bottle of Dillingham's Plant Juice. After he had been waited on by the clerk, one of the parties spoke and said 1t was strange how Colonel Dillingham; could arouse and create such demand for his remedies.
 MT. Dave Fulton said that was easily explained. The first thing w1s that Col onel Dillingham; is a liberal advertiser. and the second that his remedies are just as represented, and that Colonel DillGg- ham stuck strictly to the law of nature ln the manufacture of his Plant Juice medicine.
 Mr. Fulton said: Colonel Dillingham; once explained to me how ha manufac- lures his remedies and it was to the let Ter. He said he watched everything and was sure it was done right, and that 1t did not vary a hairs breadth. He eX- plained to me if a compass registets a hairs breadth wrong, when a ship is Iut out to sea, it will carry her a thousand miles out of her way in few days and wreck her. So it is, said Colonel Dillng- ham, with many medicines; when first put on the. market there is some varying and finally there is loss of confidence
 "It is not so with Colonel Dillingham; s Plant Juice. It is kept up to the standard. That is the reason l can guarantee his remedies to do all he claims for them
 And MT Fulton added: At this sea- son of the year thousands of people are already showing the i'll symptoms that are sure to result from the unusual climate. Hearty food, lack of exercise. overworll and poor ventllation these spell sickness and poor health. Il the stomach cannot do it's work properly. ili health is sd7e to follow. Dillngnam's Plant Juice IS the one medicine that assures a natural digestion, that strengthens the stomach and sootnes and heals all irritation, e0h- geslion and irritation n the stomach dni bowels It is this that makes it cel- tain and guaranteed cure for all stomach troubles.
 If the digestion is impaired the blood is Impoverished and becomes filled with pos- onous impurities. deranging the whole system and causing sickness and suffer- ing.
 Dilingham's Plant Juice, acting on the stomach and digestive organs, cures sleeplesness, nervous troubles, headaches, backaches and general weakness and de bility. If you are weak and ailing the chances are that it is due to q diseased stomach. But you can be cured by dsng Dillingham's Plant Juice. If it does not help you the price is absolutely notnns.
 Dillingham's Plant Juice remedies are for sale by all druggists Orders for tie, three for $2. 50 or six for s5, will be sent express prepaid when they amount to $2. 50 or over.
