is IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevar1,
n. c.
1t may be question whether the
editor of 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 good word
for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found il
reliable. In many cases dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited We do not
believe in depending implicitly ON any
medicine for cure, but we do believe
that if a bottle of Chamberlain $
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale every.
