LIKE FINDING MONEY.
Percy L. Colo Offers Popular Medi
cine nt llnlf-Price.
Percy L. Colo, tho popular drug
gist, Is making an offer that Is Just
llko finding money for he Is soiling
a regular 50 cent bottlo of Dr. How
ard's eclobrated specific for tho cure
of constipation and dyspepsia at half
price. In addition to this largo dis
count ho agrees to return the money
to any purchaser whom tho specific
docs not cure.
It Is quite unusual to be able to
buy fifty cent pieces for a quarter,
but that Is what this offer really
means for it Is only recently through
the solicitation of Druggist Cole that
this medicine could be bought for
less than fifty cents. Mr. Colo urged
the proprietors to allow him to soil
It at this reduced prico for a little
while, agreeing to sell a certain
amount. The result has Justified his
good Judgment for tho salo has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with head
ache, dyspepsia, dizziness, sour
stomach, specks before tho eyes, or
any liver trouble, should take advan
tage of this opportunity, Tor Dr.
Howard's specific will cure all these
troubles. But If by any chanco It
should not, Percy L. Colo will return
your money.
