George's Weekly, of Denver Colorado,
predicts that wiihiu 00 days a financial
crisis will occur in Wall street, and ad
vises local bankers to take their deposits
from New Voik banks and bring them
home. The reason why is: industrials
(trust stock, much of it water) are de.
c ining b. cause manufacturers are con
fronted by over-production, for merchants
will not buy from them. The boom pro
duced Dy the War with Spain lias spent
itself and we mut carry the heritage of
debt. The manufacturing centers (not
the producing west) are going to gel the
worst of it, as there is no show for them
to dispose of their enormous stock of

lous amount of speculative stocks.

THE BEST PRESCRIPTION IS
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The formula is plainly printed on every bottle hence you
know just what yov are taking when you take Grove's. Imitators'
do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy
their medicine if you knew, what it contained. Groves , contains
Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless
form. The Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the
malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that
Grove's is the CH&na! and that all other so-called Tasteless
Chill Tonics arc imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows
rW Groves is superior to alt others in every respect.
