Scientific Discovery Through

SAID TO BE ALMOST
MAGICAL IN EFFECTS
Exhaustive Tests and Expert

Question Absolute Merit Of
New Formula.

Not in recent years perhaps has
any advance in the field of medicine
created such widespread interest
and discussion as the announcement
made recently that an American ply
sician had discovered a new and re-
markabiy efficacious specific for
colds.
The new discovery, or more prop
erly speaking. the new formula. was
perfected by DR.. j. w. Smathers. an
American Physician and Pharmacist
of 80 years experience, and repre-
sents weeks and months of careful
study and laboratory research. Ac-
cording to reports. the new remedy is
almost magical in its effects. The
first dose it is said usually suffices to
stop the severest tendency to sneez-
ing and coughing, and the second or
third dose to stop the progress of the
severest cold altogether. Its effects
are immediate, and gratifying feel
ing of eXhilaratiOn takes the place of
lassitude and discomfort.
The volatile parts of the solution
thoroughly impregnate the mucous
membrane Innings OF the nose, mouth
and throat and even penetrate deep
down into the air passages. The head
is unstopped; difficult respiration is
relieved and feeling of comfort is
experienced.
After exhaustive tests and expert
ments had demonstrated beyond
question the absolute merit of the
new formula. DIR. Smathers expert
