doses invariable cure the worst cases of cough ,
croup and bronchitis , while its wonderful suc

parallel in the history of medicine. Since its
first discovery it has been sold on a guarantee ,
a test which no other medicine can stand. If
you have a cough we earnestly ask you to try
it. Price loc. , SDC. and $ i. If your lungs are
sore , chest or back lame , use Shiloh's Porous

as the greatest of the healing agents. It also
is recognized for its softening qualities , and
any one troubled with hard , sore hands , will
become enthusiastic over the "Dusky Dia
mond" Soap after once using it. Your grocer
keeps it.

Has the actual difference in the I
way CLOTHING- put up ever oc
curred to you ? If it has not , a visit to
the various places where clothing is
sold will convince you that there is a
vast difference between "slop-shop jl
hand-me-downs" and clothing ( not
things ) made of good material and
nicely put together. Here is where
we have always made a strong point
and the fact that we are selling Men's and Boys' Suits
and Pants , trimmed , lined and sewed equal to any tailor
made suits , at prices as low , and often lower , than the "slop
shop" stuff explains in itself why we are doing so large a
clothing business. We have put forth an extra effort this
spring , and you will find our tables loaded down with the
prettiest line of MEN'S , BOYS' AND CHILDREN'S SUITS
to be found on this market , and if you are looking for good ,
honest goods at the lowest prices , we ask you to carefully
inspect this department. And in Hats , Shirts , Suspenders ,
Overalls , Jeans , Pants , SOCKS , Ties , Night Shirts , etc. , we
have just what you want and at a price that will meet your
views.
