THE RECOMMENDATION OF RENE
DIES WHICH REALLY CURE.

WAYS characterized the editorial conduct OF
this jpurnal And We think this had no
s.Iai share IN winning our place in the
public confidence. For it is universally
recognized that We only express a decided
opinion after mature r,h .c,ion and exhaS-
tive, impartial eXirinatlon of every sub
]ect we discuss. Whenever a remedy or a
novel method for the treatment of disease
appears the American Journal of Health,
conscious Of the duty it owes its readers,
first investigates and then speaks. We take
nothing Tor granted neitutr the advertis.

elusive proof that here We have remedy
which is not palliative simply, buta cure.
In saying this we are aware tat We assert
great deal, bnt We are also conf lent that
we are not asserting too much. The truth
is that in many instances the so called
cures afford only temporary relief; fire.
qucn'ly they do not even accomplish that
result. Bat in DIR. Thacher's Worm

satisfied will find, that permanent benefit
which it is the prime purpose of medical

inquiry full and complete. We can. there

"Dr Thatchers Worm Syrup" really repre-

address ourselves to the pharmacist, be-
