Burkhalter the popular druggist, has succeded in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a special half-price introductory offer on the regular fifty- cent srze of their celebrated remedy for constipation and dyspepsia. Dr. Howard’s remedy has been so re markably successful in curing consti pation, dyspepsia and all liver troubles that C. N. Burckhalter is willing to return the price paid in every case where it does not give relief. Headaches, .coated tongue, dizziness, gas on stomach, specks before the eyes, constipation and all forms of liver and stomach trouble are soon cured by this scientific medicine, 'j So great is the demand for this rem edy that C. N. Burckhalter has been able to secure only a limited supply, and every one who is troubled with dyspepsia, constipation or liver trouble should call upon him at once, or send 25 cents and get aixty doses of the best medicine ever nude, on this special half-price offer with his personal guar antee to refund the money if it does not cure.
