For a number of years we have
been agents for Orrine. During that

WINGED, beyond doubt. that orrine

coming to our attention, a mechanic
earning $22.5O per week, who had not
taken full pay envelope home for
over five years, was induced to try
orrine, complete cure being the re-
suit. The man became worth moro
