A sick man if compelled to choose

The average man wanting to buy a
watch goes to jeweler and asks for an

he would ask a druggist for Mrs. Win

The most effective remedies prescrib-
ed by professional men are never adver-

world are rarely exploited through the
magazines.
Go to your lawyer for legal advice
your doctor for medical advice and Ley
sons for watch advice. We are serving
ourselves best by selling you the best
