FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS.

IT has been said that sklful advertising will
accomplish wonders, and this is partly true,
for it is no uncommon things to see various
nostrums achieve brief notoriety in this way i.
But they do not outlast The notices herald
them. Thus it is that the mercurial and pot
ash remedies are constantly appearing before
the pnbe in new DISCUSSES. Advertising,
however, will not account for the popularity
that S. S. S. has enjoyed for fifty years, nor
for the fact that it has become household
remedy; nor will advertising account for the
thousands Of testimonials that the people have
given in its behalf. Only the most substan-
tial merit can accOunt for the estimation In
which this wonderful medicine is held.
