Talking of patent medicines

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
everything - and SO, between
the experiments Of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuff, you lose faith in e0e,y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
: Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do you
get your money back.
