made with it are more wholesome and di

A Tery Good Reason,
The reason why only one sample bottle
of Meriell's Hepatine for the Liyer will be
sold to the same person, for ten cents, by
oar druggists, ia Charlotte, is because of the
enormous expense of importing the Hepa
tine into this coantry, bat as there are fifty
doses in the large size bottles, it seems two
cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi
cine that cares dyspepsia and liver com
plaint. All who have not had a sample
bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all
druggists. Three doses relieves any case of
dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver
