The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. 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 permanently repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See cut No. I. No. 1. By injecting M. & W. quick-repaii cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, as in cut Nq. 2, the repair No..3 strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak Mum - '1‘“ No. .2. 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. 1 Ask any bicycle dealer whether ' other tires last as, long as Morgan & Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan &1Wright 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. N.

BRANDRETH' 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’s worth of any liquid preparation in the market.

They are a posxtive 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 cpills every night—one Is usually enough—and be certain that a cure will follow. They are the best complexion pills. After vou have taken them for a few nights. your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear. . BRANDRETH’ S PILLS NEVER injure—you are al11 ays in better health after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and women in delicate health. Onc pill is usually sufficient. ‘ .
