SIM MOM S
VREGULATOR
Reader, did yon ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the "Kino op
Liveb Medicines?" Everybody need
take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is dne 'to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator ia better than Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
Every package has the Bed Z
stamp on the wrapper. J. I!.

stopping with me, says M. F. Hatch, a
prominent merchant of Quartermaster,
Washington, I heard him groaning. On
going to his room I found him suffering
from cramp colic. He was in such ag
ony I feared he would die. I hastily
gave him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was
soon relieved and the first words he
uttered were, "what was that stuff you
gave me?" I informed him. A few
days ago we were talking 'about the
attack and he said be was never without
that remedy now. I have used it in my
family for several years. I know its
worth and do not hesitate to recommend
it to my friends and customers. For

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many, years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it . incurable. Science ' has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acta directly on the, blood
