Tho symptoms desctibed in tho fol?

deserve tho careful attention of every

therefore tho part of wlsdom to take
tho remedy that cured Mrs. James
Struwln, of -I8S West Main Street, Bat

warning symptoms aro noted. She
says:
"For several months I was slck with

"We einployod a doctor for nix

e-ver slnce."
So general Is the huccoah of Dr. Wil?

that It may be safely stated that they
are tho most certaln remedy for all
