Living on the Reputation of Others.

Take everything that have but my
good name leave me that and ] am con-
tent So said the philosopher. SO say
all manufacturers Of genuine articles to
that horde Of imitators which thrives upon
the reputation of others. The good name
of Allcock's Porous Plasters has indnced
many adventures to put in the market
limitations that are not only lacking in
the best elements of the genuine article,
but are often harmful in their effects,
