Women are everywhere nsing and recommending Parker's Tonic because they have learned from experience that it speedily overcomes despondency, indigestion or weakness in the back or kidneys, and other troubles peculiar to the sex. "I have long been a sufferer from female complaints. Have tried physicians and advertised remedies, but without any relief whatever. With but little hopes of receiving any benefit, I bought a bottle of Parker’s Tonic. The effect of that one bottle was so satisfactory that I kept on using it, and am to-day well and strong. It certainly is the remedy for suffering women, and my advice to all is to use it.”— Mrs. N. DoUOLASS, 504 West India street, Chicago, 111. Parker’s Tonic [Prepared by Hiscox & Cos., N.
