If everything was sold in as liberal and
fair manner as the below named drug
eists are selling Schiffmann's New Con-
centrated Expectorant, absolutely no
cause for complaint or dissatisfaction
could possibly arise from anyone. These
druggists say-"Buy bottle of this rem
edy and try it for Bronchitis, Whoopine
Cough, Severe Cough, Group or any
Bronchial Affection, and we will return
your money, just the same as we do with
Schiffmann's famous Asthmador, if it
does not give satisfaction, or if not found
the best remedy ever used for any of
these complaints" Why not take ad-
'anta6e of this guarantee and try this
medicine, and get your money back, rath-
than buying another purely on the
exaggerated claims of its manufacturer
or on the strength of testimonials from
others and run the chance of getting
something worthless and also wasting
your money?
