To-day we want TO talk to
YOU about ssCatarrh cures"

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits us all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended There can't be anything more
serious to A sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure 1t.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart"
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestncss and sin
cerity, and judging from what our GUS
toners tell us, we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated and that
our suggestions have been Welcomed
which naturally encourages us to con-
tinuc
To-day, and perhaps for some time to
come, we want to talk about that big
class of remedies known generally as
"catarrh cures"
Broadly speaking these are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets for the attacks of the Ladies
Home Journal" "Collcr's Weekly" and
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
AS we have pointed out in previous
talks, it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade of these we'll
known. highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the Judge and
jury. Our business, as we see it, is to
carry in stock complete line of patent
medicines, and to sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds-yes, thousands OF
bottles of so-called ''catarrh cures and
know nothing OF their ingredients. The
manufacturers advertise them, the public
demands them; we order them from the
manufacturers. and sell them at the low
est price That is absolutely as far as
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula secret. 1t may be
good. or it NAV Motive don't know, and
we have no means Of finding out
Naturally, we would rather sell rem

edy that we know is right-that we can
back up with all our reputation for hon
esty and square-dealng,
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
OF remedy Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here, right
where you can get at us every day in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us your condcm-
nation, the loss of your friendship, your
patronage, your influence. Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word
for the merits of an article, than YOU are
to rely on the printed statement of a pa
tent medicine manufacturer, whom you
never even saw and probably never will2
Common sense most cmphatically tells
YOU that we cannot afford to depart one
hairs breadth from the rigid truth
None OF us can deny that there is such
a disease known as "catarrh" Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one Of the hardest diseases to
cure.
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh
is its prevalence Almost everyone
especially in a climate like ours-has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure busi-
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands of cases Of the disease and it is
so hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaDed a harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class Of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
tenn, so that the sufferer becomes prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the SUM-
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; I'VE know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you, you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money" That catarrh cure is
