Two thousand four hundred Bridge bort people are now using Wilderbs (full extract), the wonderful new health medicine. First introduced there barely two months ago, the suc- cess of this super-tonic has been phe- tno1nenal.

He said yesterday that the sales of Wild ierbs Gull extract) are increasing daily. He predicted that within two months the wilderb treatment would be selling in Bridgeport at the rate or 500 bottles week.
 This has been the record of Wild erb sales in every large city where it has been introduced" he said, Our sales in other big cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and in scores of others throughout the country have been continually increasing. Laboratory production is eclipsing all records for proprietary medicines. Thousands of people have publicly indorsed the Wilderb treatment in written state ments. Scores of people right here at home have recommended it, if you have beun req ding the papers. This can only mean one thing. The Wild erb treatment has extreme merit. It must have merit greater than any other medicine ever introduced or this wonderful record could never have been achieved.
