At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1896 the
leading products of all the branches of the Worlds
industry were assembled at Philadelphi. To carry
of prize in the face of that tremendous compe-
tition was a task of no ordinary difficulty. Inven
tons and preparations for the alienation of pain
and the of disease were present in the great
est possible variety, representing the skill and
prOfoundest study or the age, and it may be Of
vital Importance 10 You, personally, to know that

The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the value of such high and unbiased testimony
the medical profession, both in the United States
and in Europe quickly threw aside the old, slow
acting plasters they had been using, and adopted
Benson's in their regular practice. That physi-
