able Remedy.
1.-THE following editorial was recently pub
lish-d as above, without the solicitation or
even suggestion of the Tnacher Medicine
Company, which has never been patron of
the american Healta Journal. either an ad-
vertiser or subscriber. No higher or mere
genuine compliment was ever paid TO any
Chattanooga concern.
THE RECOMMENDATION OF RENE
DIES WHICH REALLY CURE.
A consistently conservative pr licy has al
ways characterized the editorial conduct Of
this journal. And we think this had no
nall share in winning our place in the
public confidence. For it is universally
recognized that We only express a decided
opinion after mature reflection and exhas-
tive, impartial examination Of every sub.
ject We discuss. Wherever remedy or a
novel method for the treatment of disease
appears the American Journal Of Health,
conscious of the duty it owes its readers,

nothing for granted neither the advertis
ments of the remedy itself or the printed
testimonials as to the cures it has eff cted
Influences our iudgn. ent Oaly when We
have convinced ourselves by actual demon
stration of the truth do we undertake t.
publish our Vi VS.. Then our views are
positive. because they are based on knowl.
edge. and they either praise or blame the
particular remedy strictly according to its
merits.
An instance where W, can bestow our
praise occurs in the case of DR.. Thach. RS
Worm syrup" offered by the Thach Md
icine COMPANY, Of Ch, t-anooga Tenn. We
have verified the record Of this remedy as
an ipfal!ible specific for worms We salts
fed ourselves of the genuineness of this
specific; we intrusted the matter 10 med
ical man of long and varied experience. and
for many years connected ith this journal
in an editorial capacity. His report S scon-
elusive proof that here We have remedy
which is not palliative simply, bnta cure.
In saying this we are aware tpat We assert a
great deal, but We are also Golf ieht that
we are not asserting too much. The truth
is that in many instances the so called
cures afford only temporary r.lief; fire.
quen,ly they do not even acco mp'ish that
result. Bat in DR. Thacher's Worm
Syrup" sufferers have found. and We are
satisfied will find, that permanent benefit
which it is the prime purpose of medical
skill to bestow.
Every circumstance connected with the
subject of our inquiry was ihv: stigated by
US. No pains were spared to rerder the
inquiry full and complete. We can. there
FORE address oar readers in positive Ian
guage regarding this remedy. Whit the
sufferers from this disease hopefully seeks
is something that will cure There are in
Vulnerable remedies which will nndoubt-
edly mitigate suffering there ave few. in,
deed, which cure. And vast d.ffer
ance exists between the two terms one
means temporary relief, the other CON-
plete emancipation from the bonds of dis
case. Science progressive and constantly
endeavoripg toaccomplish to new things. The
old methods must yield when they are ont
classe by fresh discoveries. And medical
science especially, while conservative, is
not so to degree which prohibits its recog-
milton OF the demonstrated worth OF a sue
cesstul advance rpon the older meth DDS.
"Dr Thatcher's Worm Syrup" really repre-
sents an advance in the medical treatment
of disease and consequently deserves cur
endorsement. Anything which mitigates
suffering is gladly welcomed as blessing;
the remedy which can cure is hailed as u
divine dispensation. Wbilerccommepding
to our readers, in the most III q Ialified
'erms, the indsputab!e merits, OF ''Dr
fhacher's Worm Syrup" We wonld also
address ourselves to the pharmacist, be-
cause it is desirable that he should know
exactly " hat he can guarantee to the pub
lie as q cure with tie certainty that lis
clients will have Lo cause to accuse him Of
his Misrepresentation.
