Happiest Results. It is a fact confirmed by tbo most ample experiense that thoso who habitually resort to Humphey's Specifics for aid and cure in their illness, have less sickness, better health, better growth, loDger and more vigorous lives, than those treated by other methods. The fact is explained in the circu nstanee that these Specifics, because of the method of their composition, have a deeper and wider range of action than other medicines, and thus constantly tend to eradicate constitutional weakness and disease. The list of Humphrey's Specifics contains preventives and cures for every form of acute illress or disease which it is safe or wise' for tho non-professional to treal, and with each Specific such counsel and directions as will lead to the 3afest. and happiest results. Acute diseases may come at any time from exposure, and each has its Specific, whose timely use is inval uable-not oulv saving sickness, but often life itself.
