To the Public.

In 1913, commenced the manufacture of what
are now extensively known as "lnproced Indian
Vegetable Pills. Sugar Coated" after expending a
great deal in means and experiments. The pills
are said to be superior TO any others on various
accounts They are, erery bor, made of superior
materials, are extremely pleasant, and always eff.
ficacious. The Sugar Coating" which renders
them still more pleasant, is also an original nren-
ton Of my oion, as is well known
Having brought these pills into market, where
their virtues might be more extensively appreca-
ted, did work OF actual benevoence; and where
seek TO make an honest livelihood after years of
labor, | am, through these pills, improving the
health and strength of thousands
Now these pills are made to sell upon their rep
uation as good medicine, and should they not be
distinguished from every imitation that is sought
10 be palmed off on their reputation! As you val
ue your life and health do not touch those pills
which are offered simply from being ''coated with
sugar y Have not several unprincipled persons
put forth Sugar Coated" pill as such since DR..
Smiths have become popular. Now, all ask is
the candid attention of the public to the following:
