TO THE PUBLIC:
The unusual success OF Vach-
er-Ba.m in quickly relieving
pain, Group, catarrh, ETC., by
stopping inflammation has caused
some INSCRIPTIONS dealers to
try to foist on the public cheap
limitations, because OF the great
er profit these spurious "Balms'
afford, some OF which are put
up in similar Jars to deceive the
public, but they do not contain
the correct ingredients, henca
are not satisfactory.
No man has a moral right to
trade on the reputation OF an
other. hence avoid the snbsti-
tute products, and beware OF
imitators.
The genuine Vacher-Balm has
my signature on the top OF
every jar, and 'VACHER" IN
raised letters on the side.
