They urged the proprietors to allow them to sell it at this reduced price for a little while, agreeing to sell a certain amount. The result has justified their good judgment for the sale has been something remarkable. Anyone who suffers with headache, dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach, specks before the eyes, or any liver trouble, should take advantage of this opportunity, for Dr. Howard's specific will cure all these troubles.
