PATENT MEDICINE
TESTIMONIALS
How Easily Obtained - Leslie's for
March Tells the Story.

Leslie's Monthly Magazine in the
March number publishes a large article
entitled, eThe Making Of q Medicine
Man, or Dosing the Public as a Business. .
In that article they say many things
that are Of interest TO the laity. One
Of their remarks is: If a man were to
enter into the proprietary medicine bust
ness the least of his troubles would
be the securing of testimonials They
say the first thing to obtain is a plan
Of advertising, second, the testimonials,
and third, the medicine
We were sufficiently interested in this
subject to send our reporter over to
call on Mr.. Wells Of the Red Cross
Pharmacy, to ask his views Of this ar
ticle. The first question asked Mr..
Wells was: Are the testimonials pub
lished for patent medicines bonafde or
fictitious A quick response was made,
"bonatide when they appear above the
name of our firm. We don't know about
the general proprietary medicine testi-
monials published, but we do know that
any testimonial published over our
name is real and it is genuine. We
must know it IS so because every time
we publish testimonial in the news
paper, advertising some of the Rexall
Remedies, which we have spent good
deal Of money on, we know that many
of our customers read it. Many find
they have the same symptoms as the
person who signed the testimonial, and
they come to our store to buy the adj
vertised article. If they are not cured
they think that testimonial fictitious,
because they cannot understand why it
doesn't cure them if it cured person
with the same symptoms. We guar
antee these people who come this way
cure, otherwise we refund them their
money.
Now we are very careful what we
guarantee, as it means considerable
loss to us when we nave to refund the
money, and for that reason you can
readily see why we are compelled to pub
lish true testimonials, as for example
this one, sent in voluntarily, without
request on our part, for Rexal Mucu-
Tone Catarrh Cure. Ii is strong evil

RURoPATKIN RESIGNS.
The Grand Duke Nicholas Likely ia
Succeed Him.

London, March lin despatch
filed early this morning the st. Peters
burg correspondent Of the Times con.
firms the reports Of Gen. Kuropatkin's
resignation. The Council Of War has
been summoned 1t will in addition to
formulating designs for the next cam
paign, probably decide upon Gen. Ku-
repatkin's successor The choice lies
between Grand Duke Nicoolaievitch
and Gen. sukhomlinoff. Perhaps the
latter viii become chief Of staff to
Grand Duke Nicholas.
The correspondent claims to have the
best AUTHORITY for stating that Japan
has twice informally approached Rus
sin III regard to peace negotiations. The
proposal failed each time, because the
Japanese demanded the payment Of an
indemnity and pledge that Russia
would not keep warships in the Pacific
for twenty-five years. The insistencc
upon an Indemnity convinces the gov
eminent that Iapan's resources are ex-
hausted and that by continuing the war
for few months Russia will be able
to compel better terms.

Board OF Health, Henry Blum, driver
Of milk wagon, vas sentenced to
prison for ten days yesterday. This
Is the first case IN which prison sen
tence has been imposed since the begin
ming Of the crusade. A board Of health
inspector testified that he caught Blum
with forty quarts Of liquid that looked
like water that had been used to wash
milk cans and that an analysis proved
that il was not even good water The

stop the use Of formaldehyde, which

BY New York city dealers TO prevent
the milk from souring. East Side CON
sumers joined IN the fight with rest
when the news became circulated that
formaldehyde was used by undertakers

which, when last heard of, was fighting
desperately in the mountains on the
