A VANCE COUNTY PRODUCT
Receives Distinguished Consideration
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy En-
dorsed by High Medical Authority
in Leading Health Journal.


In the american journal Of Health
(New York City, Of March 22nd. APP
pears an article by K. 5. Miller. NJ D..
why professional endorsement of
proprietary remedies is granted or
withheld" which we take pleasure in
reproducing here. 1t is an endorse
ment of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
and those who know the merits Of
this very remarkable medicine will
agree that its claims have not been
overdrawn. DIR. Miller says:
1t may be-we believe that it some
times is-asked, why the medical
hygienic and sanitary press is as a rule, so
opposed to the granting Of its endorse
rnent to anything in the nature of n pro-
prietary remedy? This explanation is
very simply. Endorsements. when
granted by reputable and responsible
journals whose word carries weight, are
based upon rigid investigation Of the
facts in the case, and upon unansWerable
demonstration OF genuine merit only.
Now, there are but few among the mil
lions of proprietary remedies tso-cailed)
| which are able to satisfy the exacting re-
quirements Of journals like this, or
whose record OF practical achievements
as curatives of the diseases they are sup
posed to combat will bear the merciless
| search-light of our investigation. This
being SO, it followers that We grant
wonderfully few endorsements in pro-
portion to the vast number of pro-
prietary medicines and remedies which
yearly make their appearance on the
market
The american Journal of Health would re-
ioice to find itself in a position where it
could conscientiOusly endorse every
remedy which comes under its notice.
But this cannot be; it is only when merit
is clearly shown as in the case
specially referred to in this article that
any praise can be by us editorialy be-
slowed. Indeed, the present instance is
but one OF the exceptions which prove
the rule. We have no hesitation in
cordially recommending Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy, offered by Mrs. Joe
Person, of kittrell, North Carolina, as a
specific for rheumatism, scrofula
psoriasis, erythema, sores, and all
diseases arising from impure or i'm
pOverished blood. We undertook to eX-
anime very exhaustiveIv into the claims
OF the remedy, submitting the matter to
the Joint Judgment of several competent
DHS WHOSE NtTuIct was SuCU tndt
We were obliged to admit the justice of
the claims of the proprietor. COntem-
pOraneOusly with the professional ey-
animation set on foot by us we in
stituted a systematic inquiry into the
record of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
Here, again. we established that its
claims to be an extraordinarily success
full cure are founded upon truth. 1t has
effected Il very remarkable number of
recoveries in cases where the best known,
ordinarily recognized specifics have been
baftled, even when applied under the
advice of eminent professional men.
In an instance where a proprietary
remedy can honestly demonstrate it's
power to cure as clearly as Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy has done, we frankly,
and in the public interest alone, publish
the fact gratuitously. Assurances from
persons who had experienced the benefits
of this remedy we found to be Obtainable
during the course OF our inquiry, and We
fully satisfied ourselves OF the trust
worthiness of the deponents. This
remedy has unquestiOnably cured where
the hopes Of cure had begun to fail be-
cause of the peculiarly obstinate nature
of the attack. We recommend Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy from purely dis
interested motives, because it is one OF
the rare specifics among proprietary
remedies which physician and patient
are alike ready to endorse from practical
experience.
