The great danger to which the pub
lie is subjected. through the unlimited
advertising of hocus- pocus claptrap
which will cure anything from wart
on the ear to leprosy, is the fact thai
a great many innocent people believe
what they read in the cunningly con-
structed advertising of these concerns,
and trust implicitly in the efficacy
of such remedies until it is too late
for help from the skilled physician.
Many people have lost their lives
through depending SO largely upon
useless if not injurious connections
that vital organs have reached Il
stage where they are beyond human
help. AS the Journal of Medicine
points out the viciousness of the pa
tent medicine business lies not sc
much in its assault upon the public
purse as in its insidious dangers to
