AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
overzealous Reformers Work for Law
AGAINST Pronrietsrv Medicines.

Against proprietary meoiShsSS'
schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale OF proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula. showing
Just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem 10 be satisfied; but
the man with mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve IS
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet it
is in fact nothing more nor less thar
scheme to compel the manufactur-
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country al the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
10 food the market with limitations OF
their goods.
Under Sucn cOndliioRS inc lncen-
tive for the original manufacturer 10
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed. for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly 10
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising. the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine. and all future
sales would be greatly impaired if
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing IS
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why. then, should the manufacturer
of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-EXchange

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains, f1atulency, nery-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrh9a.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia L. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
