Whose Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
two value. OF course, such testimony Is
not that OF disinterested party and
accordingly Is not to be given the same
credit as II written from disinterestcd
motives. DR.. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form single and therefore striking
exception TO this rule. Their claims to
the confidence OF invallds does not res.
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters Of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken Into DR. PIcrce'S full

dropped several notches.
