Talking of patent medicines --you know r the old prejudice. And the doctors— somo of them are between you .and us. They would like you to'think that what's cured thousands won't cure you. You'd believe in patent medicines if they don't profess to cure everything --and so,betweon the experiments of doctors, miti'the ex- periments of patent modioines that are sold only because there's, a little money in the "stuff," you los() faith in evor11t1ting. And, you can't always tell tho presorip- tion that cures by what you read in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no bettor way to sell a remedy, than to tell the truth about it, and take the rine of its doing just what it professes to do. ` That's the way the World's Dispensary Modicai Association, of Buffalo, N Y, does -with"Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- ery and Dr Pierce's, Favorite ,'?roserip- tion.
