The following very interesting conver sation between Mt. Yniie, banker, and Mr. Walter Wellmon, retired, two proml nont citizens of tlie towi, was recently overheard: "I never buy patent medicine." said Mr. White. "When I fepl the need of medical assistance I call our phytflclan. 1 don't believe In tnltlnc a lot of stuff that I know nothing; about. 1 know, how ever, that a Kreat mnny do use It, and apparently with Rood results, but I am for getting a doctor every time." "Your circumstances render this possl ble." replied Mr. Wellman, "but the ma jority of people must consider the ex pense. My experience Is that somo pat ent medicines frequently cure when tha doctor's skill In baMled. Take, for In stance an aflllctlon, say like constipation and stomach trouble. Did you ever hear of jour family physician curing a enso like that? If constipated, he gives you a physic; but a physic cannot cure constl- f u I ion. anu ne win ten ou so. u is a empornry relief and before long ou need more physic or pills.

You know no more about what he gives you than you do about the Ingredient of a patent medlclno. No reliable company will put n lot of money Into a patent medicine unless thev niu convinced that It will do nil that Is claimed for It. Usually It Is tne prescription or some specialist who has devoted his llfo to the study Of a certain disease and lias mastered it. I mention constipation and stomach trouble because I suffered liom that af fliction for jenrs. It Is the beginning of nearly all disease. Once It gets n grip on ou. It Is Bet inns, stubborn and hard to overcome.
