| The widespread interest in the Pure
Food Law, which went into effect January
|. has reached apparently every class in
the community The grocers, the butchers.
even the candlestick makers, are compelled
now by Uncle Sam to take the people into
their confidence and tell them Just what
they are selling. Uncle Sam has left very
little to chance. The strong arm of the
| Washington Government has compelled
manufactures to state plainly on their
labels what adulterants have been used in
preparing the package
| Perhaps no other class of manufactures
has been more deeply stirred than the
makers of patent medicines" They are
now compelled by law to state on their
labels the names of dangerous drugs used
in the preparation of their remedies Like
all laws that work for the benefit of the
public, the Pure Food Law has made some
manufactures do some lively squirming
while it has brought joy to the hearts of
those who were giving the people square
deal.
Mr.. Smith, the well known druggist in
discussing this point with our reporter,
made some comments so interesting that
they are reproduced here for the benefit of
our readers.
There's good deal of satisfaction in
knowing you've done right" said Mr..
Smith, =" but there's much more in having
that fact RECOGNIZED.
-Four years ago we were one of the
thousand leading druggists who met to-
gether to discuss the patent medicine sit
uation. All of us expressed dissatisfaction
at having to sell remedies whose formulas
were unknown to us. AS serva is of tn
public, of course. we sold whatever our
trade called for. But we wanted to be
able to sell our customers at least ONE
line of patent medicines whose formulas
we KNEW, and THEY knew-remedies
whose reliability and efficiency we could
back up with our own names and reputa-
tions.
The Rexall Remedies were the out
come of that meeting, and our cooperative
company. the United Drug Company. was
formed to manufacture them.
No Cure-alls in Rexall Plan.
No cure alls," no secret formulas-but
300 remedies, each the most successful and
safest cure known to the medical world for
a specific human i'll, and every formula
known to every Rhxall druggist and his
ustomers-THAT was the Rexall plan
from the beginning
The great success of Rexall Remedies
has been no surprise to us. They are the
BEST cures, and they're sold in the
'SQUAREST way. Every Rexall Remedy
is sold with the understanding that the
customer. if dissatisfied. will get the pur
chase money back By simply returning the
empty package or bottle-and we have al
ways lived up to this guarantee
The agitation against secret formula
patent medicines during the past two years
has never affected Rexall Remedies In the
least, because their formulas were NEVER
SHORTHAND everybody knew IL
Uncle Sam Adopts the RexaIl Plan.
" The United States Government has at
last come around TO our way of thinking
and passed a Pure Food and Drug Law
But we didn't need the Governments to
push us to tell what is in our remedies
we thought people ought to know that
four years ago
" Even the Pure Food Law does not COM
pei other patent medicine manufactures
to tell you as much about their prepare
lions as we voluntarily tell you about
Rexall Remedies, and always have Only
the dangerous drugs In other patent med
icines are revealed-the rest of their in
gradients are still kept secret from you.
You know EVERYTHING that goes into
Rexall Remedies their COMPLETE FOR
MULAS have always been open to the
public.
We like all the other Rexall druggists,
have always had the formulas of the 800
Rexall Remedies In our possession. and
have given them to thousands of our Gus
TONERS.
Don't you think we have reason to be
proud of our connection with Rexall Rem
edies Don't you think YOU have reason
to put faith in them ?"
