HOW WE HAKE
YOU 5AFE.
In buying the preparations
that enter so largely into
prescriptions, we procure
those made by houses who
use assayed drugs. These
are drugs that have been
subjected to analysis and
their medicinal strength
determined.
Such preparations cost
more than many druggists
care to pay, but no ^tlier
should go into prescrip
tions.
Though we employ the
highest grade drugs, our
prices are low and we do
not believe are ever beaten.

Kyilales Liver Tablets.
Rydales Liver Tablets cure all liver
troubles. They act specifically on
the liver, the bile, bladder, and bile
duct, the intestines and bowels
They stimulate the liver and cause a
perfect flow of bile into the bowels,
keep the bile duct healthy, increase
the peristalic movement of tbe intes
tines and thus restore a healthy ac
tion of all these organs. Rydales
Liver Tablets are easy to take, being
small chocolate coated tablets. They
act promptly and can always be de
pended upon. Price per box of 50
tablets, 25 cents.—Gaffney Drug Co.

Stomach Trouble Cautiea Heart Trouble.
Heart trouble is almost always
caused by stomach trouble. The
stomach fails to digest all the food,
and the residue ferments, forming ex
cess of gas, distends the “walls of the
stomach, causing a pressure on the
nerves and arteries tbat lead to the
heart. This causes the heart to pal
pitate or skip a beat occasionally, or
both, which is usua’ly very alarming
causing grave apprehensions. Ry-
dales Stomaih Tablets will prevent
this trouble. They digest the food
and prevent gass from forming in
tbe stomach. If there is no gas in
your stomach your heart will not
trouble you —Gaffney Drug Co.
We discontinue each subscription prompt
ly at its expiration. So watch your label and
the date and renew before ’tis too late.
RYDALE’S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
iMZ-A-Xj-AIEWLA..
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system 1
by means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by ;
the old method of treatment. Quinine, I
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy j
the germs that cause the disease, j
R^-dale’s Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freein" I
them from all disease breeding m - ;
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap
point you.
