HERE IS A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT OF 



YELLOWZONES. 



The adv. in last issue Was good, but this is better. 

 That was truth; tliis is testimony. 



Black water. Mo., Feb. 18, 1896. 

 Dr. W. B. Hocse:— Your sample of Yellouzoiies received, 

 and I am well pleased with thera. Inclosed tind S-i ct*.,for 

 which please .send one bo.\ to W. B. Collins. 



P. S. -Please send samples to J. P. Collins, Sniitliton. Mo. 

 He has grip every wintei- and spring. I will send your circu- 

 lar to liim, and tell him what I think of the Yellowzones. 



Kespectliilly, W. B. C. 



That's the way Yellowzones advertise themselves, 

 and the way their friends advertise them. See? 

 We not ou\y vlaiui them good, but they n/-6 good, 

 and ciiie the every-da.\ family ills. 



No oitiuiii, no aiitipyrine, no habit; safe, quick, 

 and reliable. Can not be too highly recommended 

 for general family use. Even in severe cases often 

 the oidy remedy required. Your mone.y refunded 

 if not coiu-fifl/ satisfied. For my personal integrity 

 I refer you to the Editor of Gleanings. 



Read again the adv. in last issue. 



Box of 18, by mail, 25 cts.; 6 boxes (the best way 

 to buy them), ^l.dii: or s:imple of ti for 5 cts.
