A Very good Reason.—The rea
son why only one sample bottle ot
Mkrrell’s Hepatine for the Liver
will be sold to the same person, for ten
cents, by our Druggist, C. W. Long &
Co. is because of the enormous expense ot
importing the Hepatine into this coun
try ; but as there are fifty doses in the
large size bottles, it seems two cents
per dose is cheap enough after all for a
medicine that cures dyspepsia and liv
er complaint. All who have not had
a sample bottle are entitled to one for
j ten cts. at C. W. Long & Co., Dru
