For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines? .
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may be a question whether the ed
itor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any f the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer
ing we feel it a luty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Itemedy. We:4 have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found Jt reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician U await
ed. We do not believe in depending
lmpuc-iiiy on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain' Diarrhoea Itemedy were
Kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and In very tnajjy
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
