THE DAH.T HESPERIAN, G-AIKT^TTLLE, TEXAS.
The Gainesville Jewelry||
Store,
So. 7 North Dixon Htreet, with ;i new stock of the lat-
est up-to-date Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, etc., and at mi
real low prices. You sometimes buy jewelry. Jewel- ai
ry buying i* sin agr"r:ihlo business, especially if you
know who you are buying from. Now if all jewelry
w:»s alike in quality it wouldn't matter where you
bought if, but it is not all alike. So you must put
yourself in the hands of the jeweler as to tlie quality
and viilne. Price and looks you can tell. That is all
you can tell. Time must tell the rest. So your confi-
dence i? not in the jewelry but in the jeweler. I want
your confidence and in the future, as in the past, it will
not be betrayed by Yours Truly,
William Ikick,
Manager of The (iainesville Jewely Store.
I1. S.--1 make a specialty of repairing watches,
clocks and jewelry, and refer, with pleasure, to tlie
many «ltizens of <iainesville and surrounding country
for whom 1 have done repaiiing for the past thirteen fijwjjjj)
years as to my ability as a watchmaker and jeweler. I
understand my business and mean what I say. If
your watch does not run well and keep time it is
worthless as a time piece. Bring it to me and I will
guarantee that it will tell you the time of day cor-
rectly. If a watch doesn't run well it's the fault of the
watchmaker, not, the watch, and don't you forget that.
Yours for business, William Ikick,
Manager of The (iainesville Jewelry Store.

ished blood, should take Hood's
Sarsapaiilla to purify and enrich
his blood and give him vitality

THE NEW WAY.
TY70MEN used
to think "fe-
male diseases "
could only be
treated after "lo-
c a 1 examina-
tions" by physi-
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. The in-
troduction of
Wine of Cardui has row demon-
strated that nir.e-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simple, pure
m&n\
taken In the privacy of a woman's
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. V/ine of Cardui re-
quires no humiliating examina-
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of "female troubles"—disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
"whites," change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. $1.00 at
