There is no economy so false as the

There is no economy in the use of
patent medicines that are prepared
on the shot gun principle. and which
only hit about one case in Il hundred.
There is economy in securing the
services. of a trained specialist who
treats only chronic diseases. and is
therefore best prepared to treat and
cure you.
There is economy in employing
