Statements so outspoken as the above and
coming from such a reliable source are val
liable beyond question. They conclusively
show not only the power of the remedy
which has become so well known and popu-

health. When professional men of high
standing sink their prejudice and willingly
declare their belief in that which they know
to be valuable, the public may confidently
ow their example.
