va "A Subscriber and perhaps well
wishing friend, writes us to inquire "why
we advertise patent medicines" We will
here and now answer him that we do not.
Our readers are aware that we have for
years excluded everything OF the sort, and
the only seeming exception that we know
Of is the advertisement Of DR.. J. G. Aver &
Co.'s remedies, which now stands in our
columns: II our friend does not know, we
will inform him that these are not "patent'
or even secret medicines. Their compost
ton has been made Is publicly known as
any other scientific fact, and has moreover
had the approval of the highest medical
authority in the land. But what affords
US perhaps still greater confidence in their
worth, is our personal knowledge Of the
pan who makes them and the results that
have followed from their use results as
familiar to our readers ana to the whole
community as they are to ourselves.
1t has been our privilege to know DR..
Aver ever since he graduated from the
Pennsylvania University in the same class
with one of our personal friends, nor have
we ever ceased to watch with interest his
singular success in and untiring devotion
to the noble profession he has chosen. II
ybody will tell us what we can advertise
of more interest to our patrons than reme-
dies that will cure them when they are sick,
we shall cheerfully give it the benefit of our
