TELLS HOW TO bine IT.
Directions to Prepare Simple, Yet Re-
markable Holme Mixture.
A well-known authority on rheuma-
tism gives the readers of a large New
York daily paper the following valua-
ble, yet simple and harmless, prescrip-
tion, which anyone can easily prepare
at home :
Fluid extract dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kergou, one ounce ;
compound syrup earsparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in as bottle, and
take a toespoonfitl after each meal and
RL l,edtltne.
Ile states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and,
being of vegetable extraction, aro
bar flees to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg-
ularly fur a few days. is said to over.
come almost any lease of rhemnatianl.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin.
idles with each dose, until permanent
result* are obtained, and without
injuring the stomach. %'kite there
are Many so-called rheumatism reulc-
dies, patent medicines, etc., some of
which do give relief, few really give

no doubt, be greatly appreciated by

GODERICH, ONT., Feb. 5th, 1908.
From M. W. HOWELL.
To THE PUBLIC :-
This week is marked by a change in
hardware circles in Goderioh, MR. E. P.
PAULIN having disposed of his hardware
business to the HOWELL HARDWARE CO.
It is now almost two years since I
sold my former hardware business in town,
and during that time it'has afforded me a
great deal of pleasure and satisfaction to
have had so many enquiries as to my con-
tinuing to make my home here, coupled as
they have been with a so -often -expressed
desire to see me again selling hardware.
While out of business I have been
privileged to do a great deal of travelling
in a commercial way, and I have always kept
my eyes open to hardware experience, and in
that time I have been insidle a great many
hardware stores between Montreal and
Vancouver. I have also kept in touch with
the markets through both Canadian and
American sources.
I will be pleased to shake hands with
all my old Customers andjfaleo those of Mr.
Paulin.
We are busy stocktaking but hope ta
be open for business by SATURDAY, FEBRUARY
8th.
Watch for further announcement next
week.
We thank you in anticipation for your
trade and trust we will serve you to your
entire satisfaction.
The business will
