Watch the Lawmakers.

It Is a settled fact that none of the family medicines, or “patent” medicines, would ever have a large sale unless they gave satisfaction to the people using them. Standard patent medicines that were advertised and sold extensively when the man and woman of 50 or more at this time were boys and girls are yet advertised and sold in large quantities. Had they possessed no merit thly would have been forgotten long ago. And yet certain sensational magazines are engineering a crusade against such preparations. It will be well for the people, if they do not wish to be deprived of the right to use family preparations of that character, to keep an eye on their representative in the Legislature next winter.—Mitehellville (Iowa) Index.
