Statements so outspoken as the above and
coming from such a reliable source are valu-
able beyond question. They conclusively
show not only the power of the remedy which
has become so well known and popular, but
the great importance of attention in time to
| the first indications of declining health. When
professional men of such high standing sink
their prejudice and willingly declare their be-
lief in that which they know to be valuable,
the public may confidently follow their example.
