TILL PROTECT TOO.
We know that many people hesitate to
soend their money for medicines adver
tised in their local papers, because they
are not positive whether they get some
thing good or something worthless.
Many people hesitate to try new medi
cines, and they are right in so doing.
Every man and woman should be careful
what they use in the way of medicine. For
these reasons we make arrangements with
your druggist to protect you on every
bottle of Paracamph. We know from act
ual experience and from the unquestion
abl testimony of thousands of America’s
best people that Paracamph will do exact
ly what we claim for it, so when we tell
you that Paracamph is a quick relief and
cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sore Feet,
Piles, Skin Diseases, Catarrh, Sore Throat
Sore Lungs, Croup and all forms of swell
ings and Inflammations, we know that it
will do exactly what we claim. If it fails in
any case when used as directed, your drug,
gist the man you know and the man you
have confidence in will refund your money.
So why experiment with the various rem
edies on the market, when you buy Para
camph on a guarantee like this? We believe
that you are honest and believe that you
willtreatus right. We know if youdothat
you will be pleased with Paracamph. If
you are suffering from any of the above
aliments, get a bottle of Paracamph today

to their health we would
have more happy wives,
mothers and daughters, and
if they would use more intel
ligence in the matter of medi
cines, observing results, they
would find that the doctors'
prescriptions do not perform
the many cures they are given
credit for.
“In consulting with my
druggist he advised McEIree's
1 ,UW,UW women nave rouna ■ ■■
health again by taking Wine of Cardui.
As a regulator of the menstrual periods
Wine of Cardui'has never been Known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
perfect health, even in the most persis
tent and aggravated case of weakness.
Miss Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber
gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., has used
Wine of Cardui and she says it helped
her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth a great deal. She is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attainments and she occupies
the position of Treasurer of the Brook
lyn East End Art Club. This position
marks her as a person of intellect, cul
ture and refinement and it speaks highly
of the respect and trust her fellow
women have in her. She writes:
“If would pay more attention
WIZXC Ol UIIUUI A uka*
ford's Black-Draught, and to I took it
and have every reason to thank him for
a new life opened up to me with restored
and it only took three months to
ettft me.”
Ton may secure the same relief as
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
as she took it. Thedford’s Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and core is simple. Some cases
are cored quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.
