Pharmacy Offers Popular Medicine at Kalf-Price Mecray's Pharmacy, the popular drugI gist, is making an offer that is jnst like _ : finding money for they are selling a rogJular 5U cent bottle of Dr. Howard's eel- ' ehrat.-d specific for the cure of constipajtion and dyspepsia at half-price. In addition to this large discount they agree 'to return the money to any purchaser ; whom the specific does not cure. It i» quite unusual to be able to buy i fifty cent pieces for a quarter, but that is what this offer ri-allv means, for it is I only recently, through fhe solicitation of i Druggist Mecray that this medicine \ e.iuld be bought for less than fifty cents, • they urged the proprietors to allow Ithem to sell it at this reduced price for ! a little while, agreeing to sell a cerii tain amount. The result has justified i j their good judgment for the sale has i j been something remarkable. i Anyone who suffers with Jieadaehe, i ' dyspepsia, dizziness. sour stomach, I I s|H-eks In-fore the eyes, or any liver I trouble, should take advantage of- this i opportunity, for Dr. Howard's specific 1 1 will cure all these troubles.
