Artificial Digestion.
Is that all yon want? It is not all that
you can get. T. & P. Stomach Tablets
contain the best digestive agents. These
digest the food; but if this was all
they would not and could not cure you.
They have combined with these digest
ive ferments, Tonics that act directly on
the organs of digestion, and Laxatives
that regulate the Liver and Bowels, put
ting the system in condition to perform
its own work. This means that if you
will half way take care of your stomach
a cure is certain.
T. & P. Stomach Tablets are for sale
by all druggists. 50c. a box.
Free sample by mail if you will write
for it.

burned on the face last Friday

Let us all begin the new year of 1901, the beginning of
the Twentieth Century, with renewed courags and hopeful
of doing more good this year than we did the year 1900.
I did a good business last year, for which I feel very
grateful,and for which I express my gratitude to my many
friends and customers. I solicit your patronage, and by
fair dealing and prompt and courteous attention hope to
merit your trade. I am too well khown to enter into de
tails. I carry a Good Stock of Goods, and am in posi
tion to offer goods as reasonably as they caii be sold.
Without going into an itemized advertisement, I will
offer Special Inducements on some Winter Goods rather

Spring Goods will soon be here, and am willing to make
concessions on my Fall and Winter Goods in order to
make room for Spring.
