am aware that there is a popular and
not altogether u~ufOunded prejudice against
" patent incidence owing to the small
amount Of merit which many Of them pos.
apaa. The cancellation Il" Patent Medicine
does not apply to my remedies, as no patent
has ever been asked for or obtained upon
them, nor have they been urged upon the
public as "cure-alls." They are simply
some f~avorite prescriptions which, In a very
extensive practice, have proved Their supe-
ror remedial virtues In the cure OF the dls-
cases for which they are accommodates
Every practicing physician has his iaNorlte
remedies, which he eftenest recommends OF
uses, because he has the greatest confidence
in their virtues. The patient does not know
their composition. Even prescriptions arc
usually written in a Language unintelligl'

proprietary medicines. Does the tact tnat
an article is prepared by a process known
only to the manufacturer render that article

the elementary composition OF the remeoAeh
which they employ, some OF when nave

know how Morphine, Quinine, Podophyllin,

employ them. Is it not inconsistent TO use
n prescription the composition OF when is
unknown to us, and discard another prepa'
ration simply because 1t is accompanied oy
a printed statement of its properties WIN
directions for its useY
Some persons, while admitting that my
medicines are good pharmaceutical com,
pounds, object to them on the ground Una,
they are too often used with insutiicien'
Indictment, propose to obviate this dim
Guilty by cnlightening the people as 10 the
structure and functions of their bodies, Tho
causes, character and symptoms OF disease
and by indicating the proper and judicloui
employment of my medicines, together VIII
such auxiliary treatment as may be neces
sary. Such is one of the designs OF the REQ
ple's Medical Adviser, forty thousand copies
of which have already been published, ant
are sold at the exceedingly low price oil si;oo
and sent (post-paid) to any address wlthll
the United States and Canada.
