Mother Knew!
Here's an unsolicited letter just
received from Miss B. L., who
knows whereof she sp.?ks. Read
and remember it!
"My mother has used Wintersmith's
from childhood. Last summer
I was having chills and fever
and tried all sorts of different
medicines. None seemed to do rae
any good, so mother sent for some
Wmtersmith's Tonic, and soon I
was up and well. I think there's
nothing like it and mother says
the same. I sure recommend this
Tonic to anyone who suffers from
Malaria."
If you have Malaria, take that
letter to heart. Get a bottle of
Wintersmith's from your druggist,
and TRY it. That's all we ask.
Power a Blessing
Power, when employed to relieve
the oppressed and to punish
the oppressor, becomes a great
blessing.?Swift.
