IS IT RIGHT FOR AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND PATENT MEDICINES?

From Sylvan Valley News, N. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any” of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic Cnolera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for'a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlains Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the incept tion of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physican would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Hunt Bros,, Druggists' Capt.
