“THE MINISTER’S SON.”
“The Minister’s Son” is an
j exceptionally clever and remark
able play. Its four acts are
filled with comedy, realism and
sentiment, mixed by a master
hand. There is no flagging of
heart interest throughout, and it
tempts the ear to fall upon the
lip of laughter. As a vehicle
for the display of the peculiar
talent of W. B. Patton it could
not be excelled. Quaint and
original in his methods, realistic
and exceedingly magnetic as
Simon Ray the minister’s son, a
character full of comedy and
pathos—he holds the interest of
the audience from start to finish.

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.
It is an important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
I or over 40 years Johnston’s TonicCapsules have been held in high esteem
*■* * most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
o d sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy,
b-. Is, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
V.'e have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
y experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
’ *■ d 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
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
o .r risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co.. Detroit. Mich.
