IL isn't the usual ucy
it's Just the reverse-to pay a
patient when you can't cure him.
Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you $500 if they can't cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. 1t isn't mere talk-it's
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you're interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. 1t has cured
thousands of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can't, you get
the money. They're willing to take
the risk--you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all DE-.
Pierce's medicines are sold on.
