1t is amusing to see how tender-footed
certain blood re medy proprietors have be-
come Of late They make much ado about
tapes and imitators," when none are in
sight.
The proprietors OF B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should We at
tempt to initiate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus operandi
of that which they offer. Our own long
experience in the profession preeludes such
an idea. The field for blood remedies is
large and broad, affording ample room for
all present aspirants- We do not desire
to close the door against others, neither
shall it be closed against us. B. B. B. Is
the quickest remedy, does not contain min
