To-day we want to talk to you about “Catarrh cures” During the past few months we have been publishing what some of our good friends have called “‘heart-to-heart talks” on*patent medicines. hat name suits us all right—‘“heart- to-heart talks” is just what we have intended. There can’t be anything more serious to a sick man or sick woman than his ailment and the remedies he or she takes to cure it. Our talks have been “heart-to-heart.” Every word we have printed has been written in absolute earnestness and sin- cerity, and judging from what our cus- tomers tell us, we have not been talking in vain. We are convinced that our frankness has been appreciated, and that our suggestions have been welcomed— which naturally encourages us to con- tinue. To-day, and perhaps for some time to come, we want to talk about that big class of remedies known generally as “catarrh cures.” Broadly speaking these are the patent medicines that have been the chief tar- gets for the attacks of the “Ladies”. Tome Journal,” “Collier’s Weekly” and other magazines which are waging such a lively warfare against patent medicine edy that we know is right—that we can back up with all-our reputation for hon- esty and square-dealing. And wouldn't you rather buy that kind of a remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold us responsible than to hold no one responsible? We are right here, right where you can get at us every day in the week, right where one false move on our part will bring upon us your condem- nation, the loss of your friendship, your patronage, your influence. Can we afford to tell you anything that you will learn later is not absolutely true? Are you not safer in taking our word for the merits of an article, than you are to rely on the printed statement of a pa- tent medicine manufacturer, whom you never even saw and probably never will? Common sense most emphatically tells you that we cannot afford to depart one hair’s breadth from the rigid truth. None of us can deny that there is such a disease known as “catarrh.” Those who’ have it, or who have had it, know that it is one of the hardest diseases to cure. Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh is its prevalence. Almost everyone— especially in a climate like otirs—has Store, To-Morrow, Thursday.
