it n <t be remembered that in the

Dr. David Kennedy's Wonderful New Medicine
Cured Him Promptly. Your Money Back
If it Does Not Cure.
Constipation lends to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads |
to dangerous chronic disease. It should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempo:- |
arily relieved with drastic purgatives, litre
is a case in point:
Mr. O. 8. Osterhoudt, of Burrytown, N. j
Y., was distressed with indigestion, chronic
constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, l)r. I
Kennedy's new medicine, used it and begun
to improve rapidly. All of Lis old com.
plaints have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write to tho Cal-cura Company,
Itondout, N.Y.j but ask your druggist lirst. 1
SI.OO a bottle. Only one size.
Guarantee: Your druggist will return
your money if Cal-cura fails to cure, and
The Cal-cura Company will pay the drug- ,
gist. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures j
98% °f all cases of Kidney, liladder and 1
Liver disorders.
