drop out of sight and are soon for

ticle did not funfil the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medic
inal preparation thar mas real cura-
tive 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.

According to sworn statements and

have used the preparation, the sue
