SHOTGUN
PresCript

suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle of the so-called
shotgun prescriptions y which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a medi-
cine large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for run
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people in
fact, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and reconstruction.
1t is not a scattering "shot-gun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows: If you use bottle and
it does not help you, we'll give
you your money back without a
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it so boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
one hundred cases.
