Patent medicines differ

Patent medicines differ
One has reasonableness, an
other has not. One has repu-
tation-another has not. One
has confidence, born of sue
cess - another has only
"hopes."
Don't take it for granted
that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not.
Let the years of uninter-
rupted success and the tens
of thousands of cured and
happy men and women, place
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription
on the side of the comparison
they belong.
And there isn't a state or
territory, no-nor hardly, a
country in the world, whether
its people realize it or not,
but have men and women
in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and
their effects.
Think of this in health.
Think of it in sickness. And
then think whether you can
afford to make the trial if
the makers can afford to take
the risk to give your money
back as they do if they do
not benefit or cure you.
