IMPORTANT ANNOUNCE
MENTS.

For one month more our offer
stands, and it may not stand any
longer. The Fool Killer will give
patients regular treatment each
month for one year, at TEN
CENTS EACH, in clubs OF
five or more at one time.
The medicine used in this treat
ment is not sugar coated, but con-
tains spice and pepper enough to
take the bad taste out OF your
mouth. In making up the medl-
cine which we prescribe we never
violate the Poor Food Law, and
don't use pizen Nv emmy kind.
Sometimes a dose will throw the
patients into fits, but don t get
alarmed; that's a good sign that
it is touching the right place. 1t
gives some people the limps IN
the left leg, but that also is a
good sign and in such cases the
patient is almost sure Of an early
recovery. In case the patient
froths at the mouth the doses
should be increased and given
more frequently. Boring for the
simples should very seldom be re-
sorted to as the modern method
of absorption is best. Lists Of suf-
ferers from foolishness will be
gladly received and sample
dose sent them free Of charge.
