FRAUDS IN TESTIMONIALS '
BY MEDICAL FIRMS
But Soma Are Genuine A Significant
Case of Zosema.
How do medical firms secure the testi
monials which you frequently see In
print?
This Is a question which no doubt
very reader or The Journal has occa
sionally asked himself.
Weil, testimonials are obtained in va
rious ways. Home are undoubtedlv not
sincere; they are written by friends of
advertisers or by employes. It Is al
leged that In some cases testimonials
are even paid for a species of bribery
which can not be condemned too hlehlv.
But contrary to general opinion, it la
a fact that at least a large number of
testimonials are genuine and sincere.
They are usually given by people who
reel so grarerui ror a cure that they
allow their names to be used. We our
selves Know or more man one case
where a man or woman naturally
averse to publicity was so overjoyed at
nnning me rignt mna or medicine that
the cured patient consented to the use
of his name in print.
A typical case of this kind of special
interest to eczema sufferers is that of
Robert Sussman of Toledo, Ohio. Mr.
Sussman Is a well known furrier in To
ledo, and ror years no surrered with a
severe case of eczema.
He described hfs case as almost un
endurable. About Ave years ago he was
induced to try the oil of wlntergreen
compound known as D. D. D Prescrip
tion for eczema sufferers. He had gone
out of his way to find sufferers and to
tell them of this remedy. He has done
this without pay. of course, and without
even having been requested to do so by
the D. D. I). Company. It was simply
the fact that his health, his very life,
had been restorer! that made him so
enthusiastic. We have recently had an
other letter from Mr. Sussman in which
he of fers to write to any eczema sufferer
and to describe his case. If any reader
of this paper should write Mr. Sussman.
we request that self-addressed stamped
envelops be enclosed.
Speaking of his own case, Mr. Suss
man says:
"Six years of Intense Buffering from a
severe case of eczema, to be given up as
incurable by sixteen doctors, several of
whom were specialists of skin diseases,
and then to have tried every known
medicine for my ailment without effect,
and finally to procure absolute relief and
a permanent cure from a new remedy.
Is an exprienee4ht Justifies my action
in making It know to the public; and I
feel that it is my duty to give- it as
much publicity as possible, so that other
sufferers may be relieved. My sym
pathy goes out to those who have to
go through what I did." ' .

Oakland, Cal. Nov." 26. That Edna
Clark, the Alameda art student, Van
away from home on an Overland train
on October 29, one day after a clerical
gentleman closely resembling Father
Payson Young took, art Overland train
to Port Costa, and returned to San
Francisco, la the : statement made by
Pullman Conductor E. H. Westcott. who
ha just arrived In this city on his J
return from Chicago, where he inter
viewed the young woman in the candy
store in which she is employed.
Westcott has not yet been able to
see Rev. Young and he cannot identify
him positively as the man whose ticket
he returned to him after he had started
on his trip, to Chicago. He believes,
however, that it is not unlikely that the
clergyman, who abandoned his trip so
strangely, may have had an appoint
ment to meet Miss Clark on the train
and that, owing -to misunderstanding,
he took a train one day earlier.
Miss Clark told .Westcott in Chicago
that religious drfferena with her
mother was the only reason for her
leaving her home, and for the present
she had not the slightest Intention of
returning to Alameda.
