Much of the distress and sickness attribu ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stom ach. Several cases, with all the character istics of these complaints, have been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected -by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents, and when once , used secures the confidence of the people. This is the time of the year for the alma nacs to swarm with alternate pages of dough nut recipes and corn killer remedies. The Lewis Red Jacket Bitters pamphlet describes important diseases and their symptoms in so plain and instructive a manner that they are eagerly read- from the first to the last pages for the information they contain. Ask your druggist for one. " sUXu&sat To Xlie Ladles. Why do you use those injurious cosmetics, lotions and face powders when you can ob-" tain Pearl's White Glycerine, the great com plexion beautifier, of your druggist? It is perfectly harmless.
