Especially Is this true az to the drugs

come into home where there Is q
physician and will recommend GER
tain remedy that she Is certain cured
her own child that had the same dis.
ease. Her positive assertions and
manner convince the family that Is
the remedy to be given.
But the intelligent physician would
require more proof than convinced the
good aunt.
He would ask If it was really the
same disease, and ask proof VI IL. lie
would ask II that Certain remedy cur

relief. He would inquire II the con-
dlLlunS Ut the Two were alike Ur not.
He would inquire ii The recuperaClve
powers uf mature did not have more To
do with the recovery Of The patent
than the lauded remedy VI the guOd
aunt. And a score vi other questions
might be asked by a careful physician
before he would consider the remedy
Iayorably And then he would desire
to test It's efficacy Gu more than a
