SEVEN BARkS

Nearly half a century is a long
time to faithfully serve the public, but
that is what SEVEN BARkS, one OF
natures greatest remedies to mankind,
has been doing.
SEVEN BARKS has not been ex-
tensively advertised, but has enjoyed a
wonderful and steady sale for many,
many years, and purely upon its merits;
To those who may not be acquainted
with the value of SEVEN BANKS
we would say that it is absolutely a
harmless and remarkable remedy, made
from the extracts of different kinds OF
roots and herbs, every one of which
has great medicinal value, scientifically
blended, and for many, many years
has been a reliable remedy for lndiges-
ton, Constipation, Liver, Kidney and
Stomach disorders.%
SEVEN Banks has saved thou
sands of families large doctors bills,
as we'll as untold suffering. 1t is mex
pcnsive - only 90 cents per bottle
which will last a long time, as the dose
is from 10 TO 20 drops in a little water
safter meals.
There is hardly a family but what
some member is more or less frequent
ly troubled with Biliousness, Indiges-
ton, Liver or Kidney disorder. If you
have never tried SEVEN BARKS, do
not fail to do so, and watch the rapid
and wonderful results.
Don't put off asking your druggist
for SEVEN BARKS. If he does not
happen to have it OF hand, he will get
it for you. n /,
