Why James Lee Cat Well
/body in Zanesville, O. knows
___/Mary Lee, ru*al route 8. She
i writes: My husband firmly believes
he owes his life to the use of Dr. Kings
Hew Discovery. His lungs were so se-
verely affected that consumption seem-
ed inevitable when a friend recommen-
ded New Discovery. We tried it and
its use restored him 10 perfect health.
Dr. King’s New Discovery is the King
of throat and lung remedies. For
coughs and colds it has no equal. The
first dose gives relief. Try it!

Excellent Health Advice.
Mrs. M M Davison of No. 379 Gif-
ford Ave San Jose, Cal. writes: The
worth of Electric Bitters as a family
remedy, for headache biliousnes and
torpor of the liver and bowels is so pro
nounced that I am prompted to say a
word in its favor, for the benefit of
those seeking relief from such afflic-
tions. There is more health for the di
gestive organs in a bottle of Electric
Bitters than any other remedy I know
of.

A Hard Struggle.
Many a Pearsall citizen finds the
struggle hard. With a back constant-
ly aching, with distressing: urinary dis-
orders, Daily exhistence is but a strug-
gle. No need to keep it up. Doan’s
Kidney Pills will cure you
Theodore Blumburg, a farmer living
south of New Braunfels, Tex. says: My
kidneys troubled me for a long time.
I did not feel fit for work on account
rf the dull, heavy aching across the
small of my back extending d&wd to
the hips. On one occasion I was con-
fined to my bed, at which time I was
hardly able to move. The secretions
from the kidneys was very irregular,
highly colored aud accompanied by a
scalding sensation. I read about Doans
Kidney Pills and as the symptoms
they claimed to cure were like mine, I
procured a box. I soon noticed a dif-
ference in my condition, the pains and
aches disappeared and I could lie on
my back, which»I had not been able to
do fora long time. The annoying and
distressing trouble with the kidney
secretions was also corrected. I car.
not speak too highly of Doan’s Kidney
Pills.
Plenty more proof like this from
Pearsall people. Call at 11. A. Mercer
Drug Co.’s store and ask what cus-
tomers report.

For Sore Feet.
I have found Bucklin’s Arnica Salve

feet as well as for burns sores cuts and

Stone of East Poland,Maine. It is the
proper thing too for piles. Try it!

Women Who Wear Well.
It Is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often mak<* in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. Tin
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint eclu
of the charming maiden. There are tw.;
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak-
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of Its
fairness.

DeWitt’s Little Early Risers safe

Letter to L. H. Smith & Bro.,
Pearsall, Texas.
Dear &rs: It is a great thing
for a merchant to have the ex-
clusive sale (in his region, of
course) of anything wanted by
everybody.
There are two ways to treat
such goods. One is: put the price
up and make big profit. The oth-
er way is: be fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes
least gallons and costs least money
a house, a job, a year, a lifetime—
no matter how you reckon your
costs, except by the gallon—De-
voe is the best care-taker and costs
least money.
Don’t forget that the principal
part of the cost of paint is putting
it on. Less gallons, less cost.
Don’t forget that another princi-
pal part of economy is long wear;
less gallons, less cost and long
wear.
It is a great thing to have the
exclusive sale of popular goods,
of goods that make friends, of
goods that enrich both buyer and
seller. Devoe is perhaps only ten
per cent better than one or two
others; but ten is a plenty it’s
200 or 300 better than many.
There s many a merchant who
hasn’t found-out his goods. It
doesn’t take a man long to find out
that Devoe is the least-money
paint and why, no matter on which
side he is on.
Yours truly,
14 F. W. Devoe Si Co.
