It has the following ad vantages: While punctures in it can be re paired with plugs, or semi-liquid' 1n. jections, as’ well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See cut No. 1. No. I. By injecting M. & W. quick-repaii cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in cut No. 2, the repaix No. ‘2. No. 3. strip inside' 1s picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in cut No.3. The Morgan & Wright single-tubs quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This' 13 on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve ” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. . .g. N. B. -—Wheh you have a. puncture, get right ‘off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a. tack or nail in it,- may flamage it considerably. _ BrandrCth’s Pills The difference between these pills and all other medicines is told 1n the followmg statement of facts: Ist.

They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose will always produce the same effect. This cannot truthfully be said of any other ‘medicine. There are others who claim it, but demonstrations show it to be true only of'BRANDRETH’S PILLS. 5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very acid condition, and then only if the dose 15 a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never‘cause pain or otherinconvenience. 6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. 7th. BBANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of sarsa— parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of the active blood- -purifying principle of sarsaparilla than a dollar’ 5 worth of any liquid preparation in the market. _ 8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every instance. .9th. They are a pos:tive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the long list of ills that follow in its wake—~such as dyspepsia, dizziness, drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach, etc. Take one or two pills every night—~one is usually enough—and be certain that :1 cure will follow.
