Inflammation began OH my face and

swollen and seemed bullying out of their
sockets. 1 was in a terrible plight and
suffered the most intense pain through
out my body. The doctor said my
case was very severe one. Under
his treatment, however, the inflamma-
ton did not diminish and the pains
which shot through my body increased
i'll severity. After being two months I'M

THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED
BY Mothers Medicine Chest" and
Patent Presentations

BY Mothers Medicine Chest" and
Patent Prescriptions.
Commenting on attacks made by
certain eastern publications on some
of the best known and most valuable
of the worlds proprietary medicines,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says:
"All through the country districts,
in every state of the union, you will
find in the farm houses the old family
remedies, sometimes called patent
medicines many of which have been
in use in the same household for gen
erations. Among such people the old
fashioned proprietary medicine, al
ways at hand with full printed in
structions for use, is one of the neces-
stiles of life.
ITO families in the country many
miles from a doctor such remedies are
invaluable. Mothers medicine chest
has saved many life and met many
a threatening sickness at the TIRES
hold and turned it out of doors. So
far from constituting self-prescription,
as is often pretended. acquaintance
with a patent medicine often obvi-
ates the necessity of such step; for
here is a prescription already made
up, the effect of which is well known.
One of the greatest advantages of
such medicine is that its constant for
mula gives it the character of a single
drug, so far as uniformity of result is
concerned. and the people who use 1t
know from experience just what they
can count on-which is more than can
be said of many physicians prescrip-
lions frequently obtained at a far
greater cost and trouble"
