FRAUDS IN TESTIMONIALS
BY MEDICAL FIRMS
But Some are Genuine-A Significant
Case of Eczema.

How do medical firms secure the
| testimonials which you frequently see
| i'll print? s.ssr
This is question which no doubt
every reader of the -Kennebec Journal
has occasionally asked himself.
Well, testimonials are obtained in
| various ways Some are undoubtedly
not sincere; they are written by friends
| of advertisers or by employees. 1t is
| alleged that in some cases testi-
monials are even paid fora species Of
| bribery which can not be condemned
too highly. Ill.,
But contrary to general opinion, 1t
| is a fact that at least large number
| of testimonials are genuine and sim
| cere. They are usually given by peo-
pie who feel so grateful for cure that
| they allow their names to be used.
| We ourselves know of more than one
case where man or woman naturally
averse to publicity was so overjoyed
st finding the right kind of medicine
that the cured patient consented to
the use CT his name in print.
| A typical case of this kind--of special
interest to eczema sufferers-is that Of
Robert Sussman of Toledo, Ohio. Mr..
Sussman is well known furrier in
Toledo. and for years he suffered with
a severe case of eczema.
| He described his case as almost I'M
endurable About five years age he
was induced to try the oil Of winter

ihas gone out Of his way to find suf-

We have recently" had eanother letter
from Mr. Sussman tn which he offers

this paper should write Mr.. Sussman,
we request that self-addressed stamped

Speaking of his own case, Mr.. Suss-
man says:
"Six years of intense suffering from

eases, and then to have tried every

rinht Collars DANGEROUS.

One of the most common causes Of
hot weather discomfort-and danger,
too, for that matter-is the tight neck
band. Passing up and down the sides
of the neck are two very important
arteries. the carOtids, and two large
veins, the jugular veins. The carotid
arteries carry blood up to the head,
while the jugular veins convey it back
to the heart.
AS elsewhere in the body, the arte-
ries are situated under the muscles
and so are partly protected from pres
sure, says writer in Outing. The
juguiar veins, however, are quite near
the surface and Il slight degree of
pressure upon them is enough to i'm
pede the flow of blood away from the
head.
This retention of blood in the head
is frequent cause of that headache
peculiar to hot weather where the
headache is accompanied by flushed
face and feeling of fulluess. often with
buzzing in the ears. This condition is
always present in heat prostration.
Now, the tight neck band and the
tight collar make pressure just over
the jugular veins and SO by prevent
ing free escape of blood from the head
often produce heat headaches and 9th
er discolnforts. as well as add to the
risk of heat prostration.
