remedy is NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
The manufacturers have applied
for no patent on their formula, and
have no idea Of doing so. The

the instrumentahty Of his brethren
and fellow clergymen in his church

men of the world, for several years.
He received much encouragement
and valuable assistance from them.
but with their best endeaVors its
great value was made know to com.
| paratively few of those who needed
it. In order to widen the sphere
of its usefulness he arranged with
the Chattanooga Medicine COM

ing that with the unlimited means
and facilities possessed by this
great medicine house, they could put
it within the reach Of every woman
In the world.
He required them to advertise it.
and by every means in their power
to place before the public, and to
sell it at price as low as the cost
OF its manufacture would permit.
To the best Of their ability they
have and are doing this. They |
have never attempted, nor do they
desire to make it patent medicine.
They regard It one of the most |
valuable discoveries in medical sci |
ence of the nineteenth century. |
IT BELONGS TO THE PUBLIC, and it |
is their wish to introduce it to |
every mother, wife and household |
in America.
They hope for and expect from
Christian men and women every
where, and especially from those |
who regain their health by its use,
assistance in their Iaudable work. |
Good men, clergymen, physicians
and philanthropists constantly en-
courage them by kind letters and
advice, good women bid them 'God-
