Chicago insists that typhoid germs
cannot live during the 250-mile trip
to St. Loui3 in the drainage canal, but
we know, remarks the St Louis Re

Windy City le sufficiently lusty to
swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which
would greatly increase the foreign
typhoid fever business.

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic
Has Achieved Such Wide
Popularity.
Established for nearly a cen
tury and read regularly by more
than 500,000 persons in the west
and southwest, the Twice-a-Week
Republic of St. Louis can jjfstly
lay claim to that enviable dis
tinction, “Favorite Home Pa-,
per.”
It is great because it has al
ways aimed to inform, instruct j
and entertain its readers on all;
matters of public and home in
terest. In 1904 it will be espe
cially interesting and valuable.
Here are some reasons why you
should subscribe for it:
This is campaign year and you
will want to be informed of the
movements of party leaders, re
ports of the great national and
state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the |
election, etc.
You will want to know all j
about the World’s Fair, to be i
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm I
visitor, a regular supplement of
the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
of activity, and through the un
surpassed news and. special ser
vice of the twice-a-week Repub
lic you will not be disappointed.
In short sketches, choice bits
of fiction, articles of interest to
women, children and household
suggestions the Twice-a-Week
Republic easily leads among the
weeklies of the great West.
If you want the Twice-a-Week
Republic sent to your address,
order it at once direct from the
office at St. Louis, Mo., or
through your local newsdealer.
It costs only $1 a year.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can-®
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the®
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the®
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned®
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and®
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.®
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All®
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The®
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be- ®
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,®
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger®
and the food-provider of every cell of the body. J
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood®
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the present!®
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them..-** , . ®.
For over 40 years Johnston’s TonicCapsules have been held iq. high esteem^*
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema, ®
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, ®
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and B
a long list of common ails and ills. B
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many ®
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer: B
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same ®
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not B
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at ®
our risk and be your own iudge. Michigan Drug Co.. Detroit. Mich. B
