responsibility to vice.
Let us explain: Seven or eight years ago,
so we have been informed many times in
public prints, New York State gentleman
was pronounced, as many millions have
been pronounced before, incurably sick OF
an extreme disorder. By suggestions which

Of the formula, absolutely and irrerocday, he
determined to devote a portion OF his &c.
cumulated wealth to the manufacture and
sale of this remedy for the benefit of the
many who suffer as he suffered. in apparent
hopelessness. In less than three years, SO
tremendous became the demand for this
remedy and so exalted the reputation, that
he was obliged for his purposes to erect
laboratory and warehouse containing four

Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such instances
