One of Adams county’s farmers, whose wife has been sick with stom ach, kidney and liver trouble for two years, after using one bottle of 49 General Tonic, says that that she has gained more under the one bottle of 49 than any other treatment she has taken, and Tuesday the 7th, bought six bottles of 49 at the Holthouse drug store. L. J. Bumgarner, railroad agent at Cheshire, Ohio, writes the Leah Medicine company, under date of November 4th: “I cannot express my appreciation of your kindness in sending me your 49 General Tonic. My wife has taken it since March and our doctor’ would not believe that she could improve as she has. She has gained seventeen pounds and is feeling fine, but is hungry all the time. Life is worth living with 49 in the house. 49 has become a by-word to us. We use it for everything—colds, coughs, pains —anything that ails us. We run for 43 Tonic, Mr, Vickers wantß thrpp bottles, and I am sending you $5.00 so please send me six bottles by express." The above is a copy of Mr. Bumgarner's letter. His wife has been sick for five years, and 49 Tonic made her a well woman in six months which her doctor failed to do in five years. All druggists handle 49 Tonic. 2«4t6 ■announcements FOR COMUIG-iONZH. THIRD DISTRICT.
