A State of Health That Needs Prompt
Treatment to Ward Off
Serious Disease.
Do you notice a large reduction in
your vital energy? Are you losing hold
on your place in the social world? Is
your strength gone, constitution weak,
appetite poor, digestion deranged, bow
els costive, with uneasiness and symp
toms of derangement in the region of
the kidneys? Such a condition is tha
preliminary to Bright’s Disease or soma
other serious kidney trouble. If this
describes the state of your body, we urge
upon you prompt action before your
health is entirely beyond recovery.
Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy you
need; it has a four-fold restorative effect.
It stimulates the torpid liver, restores
health in the stomach, strengthens and
cures the kidneys, and through its
peculiar yet agreeable laxative char
acter.it clinches the good work by thor
oughly cleansing the bowels. It is a
certain remedy for kidney and liver
diseases.

fun at The Opera house.
The Butlers opened their en
gagement last night at the Opera
House to a fair sized audience,
and the way it laughed and yel
led, they fully redeemed their
promise of a most laughable
show.
The Butlers are considered by
critics all over the county as be
ing the most expert and reliable
hypnotists on the road. Dr. and
Mrs. Butler are people of the
highest and most refined, moral
and intellectual attainments.
They never resort to subterfuge
or deception in any form. Their
work is open, and free from all
gross or repulsive scenes. Mrs.
Butler is the fun maker of the
company, and she soon cap
tivated her audience by her
clever and artistic manner of
handling her subjects.
The audience was kept in a
constant laugh from start to
finish, and at the close all voted
it the most laughable entertain
ment that ever came to New
pore.
The Butlers are not to be com
pared with other hypnotists com
ing to our city. Their work is
refined and intensely interesting
and one feels a sense of satis
faction and rest after witnessing
one of their performances.
To-night Dr. Butler will
awaken the young man from his
long sleep, upon the stage, after
which Mrs. Butler will give a
most laughable performance.
The ladies will miss a treat if
they fail to see the performances
of Mrs. Butler while in the city.
