Man Came Home to Die
"Three years ago I cafne home
thinking 2* or 3 weeks would be my
limit to live. 1 had suffered for 15
years from colic attacks and severe
liver and stomach trouble. I hap-,
pened to see an advertisement of
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and pur-
chased a bottle at the drug store and
after taking the first dose I felt better
than had for 15 years. I am now in
the best of health—thanks to Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy. It removes the
catarrhal mucous from the intestinal
tract, and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailmnets, including
appendicitis. One dose will convince
or money refunded.—Mayfield'® Pio-
