Unknown to Women.
Every woman should read, without fail,
the following paragraph. She will learn
omcthiug about herself she never knew
I efore.
Thompson's Rarosma is not only a won
derful kulnev, liver and bladder cure, but
has a particular advantage as a remedy
for Chronic Ke male Weakness, Palpitation
of the Heart, bearing-down sensations,
Nervous Debility, Leucorrhrea or Whites,
and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad
vantage lies in the fact that it is both a
female regulator and kidney, liver and
bladder cure. The womb is situated back
of and very close tothe bladder. A woman
having any pain or distress in the back or
side, at once attributes it to female weak
ness when many times her trouble is en
tirely from the kidneysor bladder. Hence
a woman making this grave mistake wil!
find a sure remedy in Barosma, for
whether she is suffering from womb dis
order or any disease of the kidneys, liver
and bladder, Barosma will cllect a per
manent cure. For this two-fold reason
Barosma is the best woman's remedy on
the market. Thompson's Dandeloin aud
Mandrake Pills should lie used with the
Barosma, for the liver and constipation.
They are purely vegetable aud do not
gripe.
Wat Losing Control of Her Mini.
I was losing coutrol of my mind And could not
remember names of people, caused by female
weakness, chronic inll.imniiition of the liver, kid
neys and bladder, scaMinirof urine and non-retention
of the same, which had troubled me.
making me very nervous, the past twenty years.
All the medicines 1 used only relieved me forthe
time. You don't know how delighted I am to
think I am to innch better ana stronger all
through mv system, and Thompson's Haroxmn
Backache, f.iver. Kidney and Lumliago cure did

money to me. It gave me health and strength,

that, like every other business house in our line, who had
done business for any length of time, we had some old
goods which we sold at a sacrifice ; but now, we were
spared the trouble of getting rid of old goods by the fire,
so we will have to sell you goods at a sacrifice just as be
fore, only it will be strictly new goods, and below we will
give you some prices on same.

The Reason Why!
You see I am under a great expense, so I am more
anxious to sell lots of goods during this Clearance Sale
than ever before, as I have my new building under way,
and it is going to be the finest building in Forest County
or perhaps in this part of the State, it will take a great
deal of money for its erection, and I desire to raise the
money out ol my present stock of goods for this purpose.
My stock is all new, nicely arranged and in the best pos
sible condition, so I make the above prices with the hope
that you and I will both receive the benefit of same, iu
that you will get double value for your money and I will
get the ready cah, which I so greatly need at this time.
So do not forget me.
Remember lliis snrrifire sale is for CASH ONLY,
except when country produce is offered, for I cannot nl
ford to sell my goods in any other way at this time.
Don't forget the date. Sale commences on
FSjTDJIT. ATJG-TJST 1, 1902.
and continues for the whole month of August.
We will take during this salo, Hides, Pelts, Wool, (linaem; Root and
Country I'roduee, name as cash, and pay full market priee lor khiiio.
