is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines

From Sylvan Valley News. Rrevrad, N. c.
1t may he a question whether the editor
of a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet as
preventive of suffering we feel it duty
to say a good word for Chamberlain's Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cascs a dose
of this remedy would save hours of suffer-
ing while IA physician is awaited We do
not believe in depending implicitly on any
medicine for a cure, but we do believe that
If a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and admin
istered at the inception of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this has
been our experience during the past TWEEN
ty years. For sale by W. j. Henderson.
