Alt Astonishing Offer Some of the Re

tained the following offer:
" As an evidence of the ability of Joy's Vege
table Sarsaparilla to prevent sick headaches, we
will give to the first twelve responsible persons
who will apply at our office a bottle free if they
will agree that after their headaches have been
cured that they will admit the fact over their
lignatures."
This offer so startlingly asserted the efficiency
f the remedy that many accepted, and the let
ters of the parties, nearly all of whom responded,
are probably the most convincing attestations
that any remedy ever received. The following
Is a sample of those received:
I have been subject to bilious headaches and
constipation for several years past; in fact, have
been compelled to take a physic every other
night or else I would have a headache and dull,
mean feeling. I have taken that bottle of Joy's
Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and have derived great
benefit from it, and intend continuing it. After
my own experience I can heartily advise those
troubled with biliousness and constipation to
try it. Yours,
