tory developed remedy for colds.
1t proved itself quick, effective and
complete. 1t stopped colds in %
hours. 1t checked the fever, stopped
the headache. opened the bowels,
toned the system. So recovery from
the cold was prompt. The remedy
brought no III results, as ouinine did
before.
That laboratory announces its
creations to physicians only. Most
people don't consult doctors on colds.
Millions of people who needed this
help did not learn about it.
So w. n. HILL secured that for

Bromide -Quinine. He sent out mil
lions of samples to prove its effects.
And he spent vast sums in telling
the fact to people who have colds.
