TIME TO FACE THE FACTS
“So much has been said against the
use cf patent medicines that 1 have
hail a strong prejudice against them.
But after four years doctoring with
six-different doctors, without results,
for acute indigestion, gastritis, con¬
stipation, appendicitis and other ail¬
ments, 1 was said to possess, 1 was
encouraged to try Mavr’s Wonderful
Remedy, seeing what it had done for
a friend similarly afflicted. 1 also
was entirely relieved of my trouble,
and am sure this medicine will do all
and more than is claimed for it.” It
is a simple, harmless preparation that
removes tile catarrhal mucus from the
intestinal tract and allays the inflam¬
mation (which causes practically all i
stomach, liver and intestinal ailments,
including appendicitis. One dose will
convince or money refunded. Sold by
all druggists.
MATTRESSES MADE OVER
