Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 58, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 March 1899 — Marriage in Siam. [ARTICLE]
Marriage in Siam.
Every Siamese girl who reaches a certain age without marriage is ticketed and labeled and placed in a privileged class, under the special care of the king, who binds himself to find husbands for them all. His method is delightfully simple. A prisoner in any of the Siamese jails may gain his pardon and release by marrying one of the ineligible class. Whether he is already married or not is not of great consequence, for in Slam it is not necessary to draw the line at one wife. Mr. Editor—Kindly Inform your readers that from now on to April 10 we will send, prepaid by mall, to all who apply for same, one bottle of our wonderful “5 DROPS,” free of charge. We do this in order that every one of them may have the great opportunity to try the greatest remedy the world has ever produced.

Heart Weakness, Toothache, Earache, Croup, La Grippe, Malaria, Creeping Numbness, Bronchitis and kindred diseases.

Some of them had been bedridden for years, others had traveled the world over in search of relief and spent a large amount of money, but failed to get it, but were cured by this remedy in a very short time and at a small cost In fact, many of the cures which it has made border on the miraculous. “5 DROPS” is not a patent medicine, but was perfected only after vast research in scientific fields and at a very great expense.
