BELL BROTHERS TALK
TO A REPORTER.
Tell Why Colonel DiIIingham's REM
edies Acquire Such Rapid
Popularity.

lOpuioi hIs
Col. F. A. Dillingham; Plant Juice,
the medicine which is creating such a
furore among Dawson people, and
is being introduced here by the local
druggists, is practically new remedy.
1t was first introduced by Col. Dill
lingham about year ago, and has
since made him a fortune which is
estimated above the half-million mark.
Although these remedies have been in
the drug stores only few weeks the
work they are accomplishing is the
talk of this section.
Although very busy Mr.. Bell. of
Bell Bros, yesterday gave five min
utes of his time to the discussion of
these remedies here and elsewhere.
Upon being asked, 'Mr. Bell, how do
YOU account for the extreme pop
ularity of Plant Juice remedies in the
sections where they are advertised,
and the immense interest they arouse
so quickly"
Smilingly he replied: "Any popu-
larity which they may acquire is not
by any means due to craftsmanship or
advertising. All success which has
come to them is due entirely to the
| formula which is used in preparing
| them.
SIT is not on account of any special
| liking for me that people come to my
drug store to shake my hand, as you
have seen them do while waiting here,
but it is simply owing to the fact that
this Plant Juice which | am selling
helps sick people, and the sick man CT
woman who has been benefited is the
most grateful person in the world.
"We who are well cannot realize
what days and weeks and months of
suffering means. Good health, after
all, is worth more than anything else
| in the world. and because | am able
| to help these poor sufferers with little
or no hope before them, for this
reason, and this only, do L win the
confidence and respect of my patrons.
"While Col. Dillingham; believes in
sharing to a certain extent what he is
| fortunate enoug to makeI with his less
| fortunate brethren, the money that he
distributes for charity produces only
small portion of the friends which l
am proud to say the remedies acquire
throughout the country
"Dillingham's medicine is sold by
me at a very reasonable price, which
puts it within the reach of all. Every
sale [ make is with the understanding
that if it fails to be benefit | return
the money. Many people, knowing
that my word is good purchase from
me who would not otherwise, and it
would surprise you if | were to tell
you the small percentage whose
money [ have returned to them owing
to the fact that they have not been
benefited. "
This conversation took place at Bell
Bros. drug store, and at the time
there were fully dozen people wait
| ING to obtain an interview with him.
Owing to the many people outside OF
| Dawson who are anxious to secure
! some of the wonderful remedies
special mail order department was
organized a few days ago to send
medicine in answer to letters received.
The amount of business which this de-
partment is taking care of is stu
pendOus. Last week there were re-
ceived at the drug stores over dozen
| letters, enclosing anywhere from one
to five dollars, asking either for Dbl
! lingham's Plant Juice or the Plant
Juice liniment or both.
The clerk who has charge OF this de-
partment for Bell Bros. in speaking
of the immense amount of medicine he
is shipping said: From lmost the
first day of Col. Dillingham's adver-
Using the letters have been pouring
in, and have been increasing in num-
Der daily, until last week we received
over fifty with requests for medicine.
AS each one of the requests means the
shipping of bottle or two you can
readily see that it keeps me fairly
busy taking care of the orders.
"We send one bottle of Plant Juice
or two of Plant Juice Liniment upon
receipt of one dollar, or more in pro-
portion. The Plant Juice is kidney,
stomach, liver and blood medicine,
and is used in all cases of catarrh,
stomach troubles, kidney and bladder
complaints, torpid liver and impover-
ished blood, being a grand spring
tonic, and the Plant Juice Liniment
for partial paralysis, stiff joints,
deafness and pains. The offer to send
medicine by express will continue in
definitely"
