It acts gently on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleansing the system effect- ually, but it is mot a cure-all and makes no pretensions that every bottle will not sub- stantiate, eres <scnpiliaiaias Messus. TocketT? * Son are often asked to sell their ‘‘Myrtle Navy” tobacco to retail dealers: They never in any case do so, and for the best of reasons. The wholesale trade of the country have a distributing machinery which handles the ‘Myrtle Navy” without any addition to its permanent expenses, If the manufacturers were to undertake that work, as they would by selling to the retail trade, it would require an independent machinery, the whoie cost of which would have to be borne by the proceeds of the tobacco sales, and of course it would fell upon the consumer. Se'ling to the wholesale trade alone is, therefore, for the consumers benefit, and is a convenience to the retail trade, because every traveller who calle—in the grocery line—can take orders for “Myrtle Navy.” ba Delay is Dangereus. When the kidneys are out of order delay is dsngerous. Any disease may follow and be cove so well established that months of suf- tering will follow. A gentle tonic like Dodd's Kidney Pills is always acceptable to the kid. neys und protects them from disease. They are a kidaey food. 8 NEW ENGLISH G9ODS just received at JAMES PATON & COS. ee — recente — ee ———— ~ — Me ee SS Se OUR SUCCESS IS DUE, Our Metheds of Business, Our Attention to Business, | Our High Class of Goods, | Our Reasonable Prices, CAPES, | YOU MUFFS, | In advertising FUR GOODS, we | CAN COLLARS, | bee to remind you that it pays to} *°* CUFFS, | - : | FROM ain | buy Srictly First-Class Goods — not es coaks, | high-priced but high grade. at GLOVER | you CAN GET THEM FROM US!)| CLOSET MITTS. | | PRICES.
