Why He Docs It
It isnt often that we have faith
enough in the medicines put up by other
people to bo willing to offer to refund
the monoy if it does not cure said drug
gists Lon Cone Bro to one of their
many customers but we are glad to sell
Dr Hownrds specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia on that plan
The Howard Co in order to get n
quick introductory sale authorized us
to sell the regular fifty cent bottle of
their specific for half price 25 cents and
although we have sold lot of it and
guaranteed every package not one has
been brought back unsatisfactory
One great advantage of this specific
ho continued is its small dose and con
venient form There are sixty doses in
a vial that can be curried in the vest
pocket or purse and every one has more
medicinal power than a big pill or tablet
or a tumbler of mineral water
We are still selling the specific at
half price although we cannot tell how
long wo shall be able to do so Any
person who is subject to constipation
sick headache dizziness liver trouble
indigestion or a general played out con
dition ought to take advantage of this
opportunity If the specific does not
cure them they can come right back to
our store and wo will cheerfully refund
their money
