BLAMES HIS AILMENTS TO
PATENT MEDICINES TAKEN
Patient at Hospital Says He Purchased
and Imbibed Every Remedy of
Which He Became
Cognizant

As a result Of a mania for patent
medicines, Louis Bramson, sign painter,
who came to Los Angeles recently from
Massachusetts, is a patient at the
county hospital, suffering from a ner-
YOUR breakdown.
"Three or four years ago I was in
splendid health" he said to the doc
tors, but while riding in street car
on my way home one night I saw an
advertisement of a tonic, guaranteed to
keep persons in good health. 1 became
interested and decided to buy a bottle.
That was the beginning of my troubles.
L used several bottles of the stuff; then
I began to feel sick sure enough. Then
l tried another remedy that seemed to
fit my case, and then another, until I
had tried everything / read about. 1
suppose if my imaginary ailments had
been real I would have been afflicted
with every disease known to the medi-
cal profession"
Bramson says he is only a shadow
of his former self and the quantity
of drugs he has assimiliated has ruined
him.
