Throng of Bayers Continue,
The people of Centre Hall and
vicinity appreciate the great advant-
sge J. D, Murray obtained for them,
in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to ale
low the regular 50 cent size of Dr.
Howard's specific, for the cure of oon-
stipation and dyspepsia, to be sold at
half price, 25 cents, and have bought
hundreds of bottles, '
Many orders have come by mail at
this popular price, for it it is very une
usual to bs able to buy sixty doses of a
standard medicine at half price.
Every bottle of the specific sold by
Mr. Murray has had his personal
guarantee to refund the money If it
was not satisfactory, but pone has
come back, showing. the wonderful
curative power of this remedy.
1t is only recently, on the persistent
advice of Mr. Murray that Dr. How-
ard’s specific bas been sold for less
than 50 cents, but he urged that it
would be better to secure a quick intro.
duction in Centre Hall in this way
and the result has proven his good
Judgment.
