IT is a sad commentary on the
sincerity of the denominational
press that of all the papers in the
country which are absolutely re-
fusing to take the inquitous Pink
ham Peruna etc. patent medicine
advertisement, not one church
paper has enlisted its aid in the
movement. These sectarian pa
pers are doing tremendous
amount of damage to movement
which is spreading over the coun-
try. Many of their subscribers
have. written them asking why
they should hold these adver-
tisements and their reply has
almost invariably been that their
contracts with the medicine com
panies run for considerable
time ahead. One paper giving
its reply to one OF its subscribers
within two weeks wrote to one of
the largest of these medicine
houses suggesting that as there
was such fight on these adver-
tisements it would be good thing
to enlarge their space in this
particular journal because of the
fact that its appearance there
would be taken as an Endorsement
OF the medicine. 1t is to be re-
gretted that a sectarian paper
which leads its readers to believe
that right above ali things else is
its motto should have been led
into as dirty piece of business as
has ever been proved on any OF
the purely secular newspapers. In
this fight it is matter of record
that not one church paper through
out the United States has even
offered to lead the forces against
the inquitous patent medicines.
A fight for right always comes
from the most unexpected sources.
