The Retail Druggists Association OF
Richmond have seen tit to list lronal
Tablets in their price list, notwithstanding
the fact that this unique and wonderful
preparation has only been advertised tor
about two months. This proves conciu-
siyely that they recognize the superiority
of this atural remedy, for a S u rule no
druggist will recommend a patent medl-
cine because they do not know its com
position. but Ironal is a natural remedy
patented medicine. The late Dr. Hunter
Mcclure in speaking of this remedy said:
II consider your remedy d tonic and lax

quest he put these words in writing, and
we have them on file in our office. Ironal

tents Of the one dollar package at one
