reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
