E1travagant statements and axtraor-

Of the proprietors of remedies that contain
alcohol. Most Of those remedies will afford
temporary relief but claims ara made that
permanent cures will be Effected
II does not take very huge intellect 10
figure that medicines containing from
fifteen 10 nifty Per cent alcohol are bound TO
produce bad effects. The average LIQUID
patent medicine contains more alcohol than
the average alcoholic drink.
For any one 10 claim that a medicine
containing alcohol will build up TISSUES IA
absurd. Il destroys them. These remedies
claim 20 heal and sooth the various mucous
membranes of the body. Rosh They irritste
and infame them. The work Of destruction
goes steadily on until they are completely
destroyed.
Another claim made by these so-called
medicines ie that they increase circulation.

former condition. So it is with so-calied
medicines which are nothing but temporary
etiinulants.
