Startling Evidence-
Fresh testimony in great quantity is

Coughs and Colds to be unequaled.
A recent expression from T. J. Mc-
Farland, Bentorville, Va., serves as
example. He writes: “I had bron-
chitis for three years and doctored all
the time without being benefitted.
Then I began taking Dr. King’s New
Discovery and a few bottles wholly
cured me.” Equally effective in cur-
ing all lung and throat troubles, con-

The anxious mother of the family often-
times carries the whole burden of respon-
sibility so far as the home medication of
common ailments of the girls or boys are
concerned. The cost of the doctor's visits
are very often too great for consideration.
At such times the mother is invited to write
to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for
medical advise, which is given free. Cor-
respondence is held strictly confidential.
6600 REWARD FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknessess peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro-
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.

That Tired Feeling
If you are languid, depressed
and incapable for work, it indi-
cates that your liver is out of
order. Harbine will assist na-
ture to throw off headaches,
rheumatism and ilments akin to
nervousness and restore the
energies and vitality of sound
and perfect health. J. J. Hub-
bard, Temple, Texas, writes,
March 22, 1902: “I have used
Herbine for the past two years.
It has dene me more good than
all the doctors. When I feel bad
and have that tired feeling, I
take a dose of Herbine. It is
the best medicine ever made for
chills and fever.
