From the Fall River Globe.)
DR. VIM. E. Barker Makes
a Remarkable Statement
After Travelling from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific.

As he secured some Of the most not
able Endorsements TO his tbeory,he does
not hesitate IN saving that he will pos
itively guarantee Bloodine TO cure stone
in the bladder or any kidney or bladder
trouble. no matter how long you have
been suffering. Ninety seven per cent.
OF the entire population of the United
States are afflicted with kidney or blad
der trouble. In the last seven years
bloodne has cured SO per cent. OF the
cases that has been treated with IL.
Hundreds OF cases OF hemorrhage OF
the bladder have been cured after treat
ment in some OF the leading hospitals
have failed TO even relieve the patient
We are therefore so confident that our
theory OF treating these cases with blood
ine,i is the only possible manner in which
such a large percentagd OF cases can be
cured, that we do not hesitate TO guar
antee the efficiency OF bloodine.
MIR. Hanson, the business manager,
Of the Postal Telegraph and Cable Co.,
Of Biddeford, Maine, had stone in the
bladder removed with six and one-half
bottles OF bloodine, after being told by
all Of the leading physicians in bis
vicinity that the only way il could pos
sibly be removed was by an operation
We stsnd ready TO furnish positive
proof OF the above statement TO any one
| doubling the truth OF the same.
More than FIVE million bottles OF
bloodlne we're sold in America last year.
Can there be any greater evidence OF
merit than this unparalleled sale Of a
scientific product No other product
has ever met with such astonishing sales
80 short period, and from con-
sentative estimate the sales this year
will reach ten million bottles. $3.50
bottles were sold in a single day in
Cleveland, Ohio; 2l60 bottles we're sold
in Rochester, N. Y at the fret days
Introductory sale, and 400 bottles in
Paterson, N. } 10 one day. No scien
titic treatment has ever attained such
success IN America. We are now sup.
plying druggists with bloodine, for The
convenience Of those wishing 20 CON
vince themselves OF tie merits. YOU
druggist does not have it, The Bloodin'
Laboratories, Boston, Mass, will supply
you with six weeks treatment (siy
