M. LAUER i.i:m a iiam. If a ltrutlier or Sinter U in Trouble, Give Assistance. It is true charity to lend essistance to one who, amid ditliculties, 18 earnestly striving to do right. A pleasant word or a helping hand at the right moment might be the turning point in a life and the means of r' anging the future of one who is on ' :e verge of despair. Some peop' i go through life burdened with disease, struggling to free themselves from the yoke of bondage, but unable to throw off the demon. When the stomach and liver become diseased, the blood impure, and the whole syr ten run J own, nature needs a helping liand. She struggles heroically to free herself from the fangs of the dis ease; but she must have assistance. Knox Stomach Tablets are just the assistance nteded. They act directly on the blood, stomach, liver, and bowels, and help nature to throw off the poisons, and render, 6trong, healthy, and sound men and women who have been chronic invalids for years. After a few days' use, the sufferer will note the positive return of health. Knox Stomach Tablets are a combination of the very best remedies known to medical science. One box will be worth more than gold to the dyspeptic. An immediate relief for indigestion and a positive cure for dyspepsia. They are put up fifty tablets in a box and sold for fifty cents by druggists. If unable to secure them of your dealer, send his name with fifty cents and your address to the Knox Chemical Co.. ISattle Creek. Mich., and a full' sized box will be sent postpaid. HUMPHREYS' VETERIIIARYSPECIFICS A. A. ) FKVEHK, Contention, ludtnuu curks J lion. Lung Feter, Milk Fever. It. H.MMIAIK. Lar.iene.
