A Patent Medicine Talk

This meant not only the highest
quality in manufacture, but the very
greatest economy-the cutting out
of every wasteful item and every UNI
necessary expense.
The remedies when manufactured
were shipped directly from the
laboratory to the retail druggists.
This insured their freshness and
made it impossible for their quality
to deteriorate. Not only that, but
it also did away with the jobbers'
profit. Here again the cooperative
system added not only quality but
brought about economy.
Most of our patrons are familiar
with these facts. Most of them are
already acquainted with the for
mulas of Rexall Remedies which are
manufactured by the United Drug
Co., with laboratory and principal
Offices in Boston, Mass. These are
the remedies and this is the cooper
ative company that we believe has
done more to bring about change
in patent medicine conditions than
any other element in existence.
Each of the Rexall druggists
know absolutely what each Rexall
remedy contains. He has the for
mula of each remedy on file in his
safe. He will gladly give it to any
one who is interested. There is
nothing secret about any of the Rex
all formulas. On the contrary, we
are thoroughly proud of them. We
want you to know about them.
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1906-04-04

No one Rexall remedy is ''cure-
all" 1t is not necessary for us to
invent diseases and symptoms and
then endeavor to convince you that
one Rexall remedy will cure you of
every ailnent in the world. To our
minds that has been one of the
fundamental errors of patent medi-
cine manufacturers, and that has
been corrected by the Rexall people.
One remedy for each ill, and that
remedy the unquestioned best in the
world, is the principle upon which
Rexall success is founded.
We are proud of our connection
with Rexall. We are proud to be
able to offer to the people of this
community, line of remedies that
we can back up with every bit of
reputation we have earned by
square dealing and honest, con-
scientious treatment of our trade.
Our confidence in Rexall is shown
by the fact that we absolutely guar
antee every Rexall remedy we sell.
This is not an empty phrase with us,
we mean just what we say. If you
buy Rexall remedy and are not
entirely satisfied with it, all you
need to do is to bring the empty
bottle or package back to us and
say ''I was not satisfied, please give
me my money" and we will return
the money to you instantly and
cheerfully.
We feel that you are conferring
an obligation upon us when you do
this. We want to know every case
that the Rexall remedies fail to cure.
We want you to get your money
back if the remedy has not done the
work you expected it to do.
Can any principle of business be
fairer than this? Is it not thor
oughly in accord with President
Roosevelt's doctrine of the square
deal for every man?
From time to time in newspaper
announcements, we shall say vari-
GUS things about various Rexall
remedies. We want the people to
understand thoroughly what the
word Rexall means to every family
in this entire community. If the
real facts about Rexall were appre-
ciated to-day, no other patent medi-
cines would need to be offered to
the people.

Several years ago, thousand of
the leading druggists throughout
the United States organized them
selves together in cooperative
company to produce remedies which
they could back up with their own
names and their own regulations.
The first object of this co-opera-
tive company was to produce a line
of remedies that every druggist
would know thoroughly. There
were to be no secret formulas; the
ingredients of every remedy would.
be known to every druggist.
Each of these thousand druggists
contributed to the organization all
that his knowledge and experience
had brought to him in the way of
advice as to different remedies.
The formulas of something like
1000 or more remedies were sent to
the company. A committee of ex-
perts was appointed and this COM
mittee went over the various for
mulas conscientiously and earnestly
for long period of time and selected
from the entire list about 200 stand
ard remedies, the manufacture of
which the company then undertook.
The company in the meantime
had erected perfect laboratory
large, well-appointed, with every ap-
pliance known to modern skill. The
combined capital of a thousand
druggists made it possible for the
company to purchase in the largest
quantities, the fundamental drugs
and herbs, ETC., that form the in
gradients of the. various remedies.

Readers Of such leading fnaga-
zines, as the Ladies Home Jour
nal" and Golfers Weekly" must
have noticed recently many articles
relative to patent medicines.
The editors of these magazines
are seeking to bring about by legis-
lation and agitation, what they
choose to call a reform in the patent
medicine business. They make the.
statement that it is not only unsafe,
but unwise, and in many cases de-
structive of health, for people to
purchase and consume patent medi-
Cines the ingredients of which they
have no knowledge.
1t it not our purpose to enter into
a discussion of the merits or de-
merits of this agitation or crusade.
Thousands of people have used
patent medicines and have been
benefited by them. At the same time
there are undoubtedly evils existing
in the ABUSE of some so-called
patent medicines. Because you
have a thief in your neighborhood
you would not say the whole neigh
borhood is composed of thieves. We
know that we have plenty of Gus
toners at our counters who tell our
clerks what benefit they derive from
this or that preparation.
Yet even with this knowledge
1t is hard for us to say what one
among the patent medicines is the
'.neighborhood black-leg." The un-
fortunate part of Our position is
that we do not know the formulas
of the patent medicines we sell.
We do not believe that the pro-
prietors of patent medicines are dis
honest or that they are Intentionally
misrepresenting their products. If
we did we would certainly refuse to
sell their goods over our counter.
Our exact position in this patent
medicine agitation is this: We are
the servants of the public. We sell
and will continue to sell patent
medicines just the same as the gro
Ger sells you canned corn or pota-
toes. We want our patrons to find
in our stock just what they demand,
only we can positively say that at
any time we find a medicine is in
furious we will throw it out of our
store.

Trouble in Russia.

st. Petersburg, May 20 As fore-
Swallowed in the statement made by
Minister of Agriculture Stinchinsky to
the Associated Press last night, the.
government has decided on its course
of action. With reference to the vote
of the lack of confidence of the lower
house and its demand for the resigna-S
tion of the ministery, it will swallow
parliament's affront and treat its reso-
lutions simply as a declaration beyond
Its competency and consequently as
not binding upon the monarch. In
other words, the government has de-
8cided to ignore the demand of the
dover house and the ministery will not
resign, but neither VIII parliament be
dissolved.
Moreover, instead of treating the.
action of the lower house as cause for
#offense. the ministery vii continue its
sconciliatory attitude in the hope that
the storm will subside and unless par
Lament takes some revolu olutionary ac-
ton. the original plan OF pr0Ionging

mer vacation. at the end of June. viii

In the meantime. the government
will offer its own projects for the solu-:
tion of the agrarian question. etc. and
Ii they are rejected, the lower house
will be allowed to elaborate its own
projects No amnesty vi il be granted
but political prisoners viii be released
