The treatment of sixty thousand patients
should establish without doubt the effective
ness of Rev. T. p. Childs' "Catarrh Specif-
ic," the advertisement of which appears in
this issue.
Mr.. Childs gives his own experience after
thirteen years of relief from the dread dis
ease. No doubt many of our subscribers
will find their own cases stated with startling
clearness. That Mr.. Childs has been able to
cure himself and heal the ravages made in
his own system by the disease. and then. after
thirteen years of perfect health, to make the
assertion that he has never once had return
of the disease is wonderful, and shows the
power and, effectiveness of the remedy.
He has treated and cured thousands at
their own homes. never having seen them.
In a thoroughly honorable and Characteristic
manner he publishes the names and addresses
of a few of those he has cured that any who
desire may inquire of the patients themselves
what Childs' Catarrh Specific has done for
them. We would call especial attention to
the advertisement, and request careful
pcrusal of the facts as set forth.
