How Paint
The first cost of a good job of paint
—Devoe—is $50 (average size of
course.) The first cost of a second or
third or fourth rate job, #55 to #100.
The wear is likewise. The better
yon paint, of course, the longer it
wears. And the more you pay for
your job, the shorter it wears?
Devoe is one of a dozen good paints.
There are hundreds of bad ones. As
likely as not, Devoe is the only good
one in this town.

A SURE REMEDY FOR LAZY LIVER
Go to the Palacios Drug Co., for this
Safe, Reliable Remedy and Get
Your Money Back if it Fails
There are very few remedies that
gain the confidence of druggists as
Dodson’s Liver Tone does. Palacios
Drug Co. sells it and backs up the sale
ot every bottle with the money back
guarantee that the price will be re-
funded if it fails to give complete sat-
isfaction.
Dodson’s Liver Tone costs 50 cents
a bottle. Ibis the safest and best
remedy for torpid liver, constipation,
biliousness, etc., that has ever been
sold in this city. It takes the place
of dangerous calomel and does not lay
you up as a dose of calomel ofleu does.
A bottle in the housej, is as good as
fifty cents in the bank. If you or your
family need aTiyer twde-y&aharo-the-
medicine ready. If it fails you get
your money back.
Be sure you get Dodson’s Liver
Tone when you ask for it. There are
imitations of it that may disappoint
you.
