To be cautious in the choice of medi.
cines. Many arc injured by trying ex-
peri,nents with compounds purporting
to be blood purifiers, the principal
recommendation of which would seem
to be their "cheapness." Being made
up of worthless, though not always
harmless, ingredients, they may well
be "cheap;" but, in the end, they are
dear. The most reliable medicines are
costly, and can be retailed at mod
crate prices, only when the manufacture

in large quantities. It is economy,

like myself again, after suffering for eight
years with catarrh of the head and bron-
chi, and that very painful thing-neuralgia
of the stomach. I took three months
medicine.
Both my husband and myself feel as
though we can not be thankful enough to
you for what you have done for me. I
hope that everyone who is suffering as I
was will hear of DR.. Jodan and his most
valuable medicines. Yours most respect

Dear Doctor-Will have to write you
that l am surprised to find myself so
greatly improved in so little time, and am
pleased to say that 1 could not give your
medicines too great praise. My health
was gone. felt that medicines could do
me no good. l was hopeless of ever re-
covering. thought too late to try your
medicines, but with death staring me in
the face I determined to do So am
pleased that l did it, for at this date I
have received ten fold the price of the
medicines. If I should say one hundred
fold it would not be overvaluing the diff
ference in my health. I feel like another
man. Yours respectfully,
