 | Many drunkards and drug fends date their downfall from the first dose of q patent medi- cine. Some of the most popu- lar" patent medicines contain dangerous drugs, alcohol and narcotics b such an extent that their continued Use has made drunkards and opium tiends of hundreds of victims. Chemical analysis bY the best chemists in the world have exposed over aud over again the vicious nature of the leading patent medicines. Oftentimes. innocent children are made drunkards, or else killed outright, by mixtures and emul- sions containing large amounts of aleohols and opiates.
 The patent medicine man preys especially upon womankind. One of the leading patent medi- cine manufacturers expressed this rule of action in unmistakable language. His words were: its the women We are after. We have buneoed them now for a good many years, and so long as they remain as .easY as they have been and We can make them believe they are sick, we're al right. Give us the women every time.
 :. Women's letters. instead of being kept "sacredly eoniden- tial9 by the patent medicine sharks, are publicly exploited. The patent medicine shark adver- tises to treat letters from women as "saeredly confidential, and To permit no one save an honorable physician, generally mentioned by name. toread them.
