"It is the best patent medicine in the
world" is what Mr. E. M. Hartman, of
Marquam, Oregon, says of Chamberlain's

complete cure." For sale bv Blakeley &

that the United States government has

consul.
Memory is a little treacherous now
and then, and causes one to forget eome
things worth remembering, unless one
has an experience like that which came
to Mr. D. E. East, Moffatt's Creek, Va.,
who says "I had been suffering for years
with a torpid liver and found no relief
until I took Simmons Liver Regulator
when I was entirely relieved of mv
troubles. I never intend being without
