Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to
neglect them, as so slight an injury
as the scratch of pin has been known

every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain Remedies have

Grand Rapids for seven years and
