that's all it does, and yet I have seen

that rheumatism is caused by stomach
trouble. Here is a sample of letters I
get every day on the subject. 1

It does not pay to advertise say
some merchants who have done
but little of it and that without
keeping it up. , The incident of
the boy and the pump illustrates
the matter very well. The boy,
was sent after a pail of water.
He poured in the priming and 1
poured out as much-as he poured
in. Then he stopped to rest and
the priming ran down. After
some time of alternate / pumping
and resting he concluded it did
not pay to pump and quit in dis-,
gust The merchant who doesj
not believe in advertising does it j
like the boy did the pumping. He j
advertised a few weeks, thea
stopped a while and allowed the
people to forget him. and his busi
ness before he advertised again

didn't pay.

Home-made Catarrh Cure.
Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name "Cyclone" is given to the fol
lowing prescription, it is suppored, be
cause of its promptness in driving from
rhe blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease,no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extraet Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use. in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bed time.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to flltnr and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane,
and an open sore of catarrh is the re
suU.
Prepare some and try it, as it it the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe
cialist of natioeal reputation.'
