The doctors foster this idea. “The people,” we're told, “are mostly ignorant when it comes to medical science.” Suppose they are! What a sick man needs is not knowl- edge, but a cure, and the medi. cine that cures is the medicine for the sick. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med. ical Discovery cures the “do believes ” and the “don’t be- lieves.” There's no hesitance about it, no “if” nor “possi bly.” It says—“I can cure you, only do as I direct.” Perhaps it fails occasionally, The makers hear of it when it does, because they never keep the money when the medicine fails to do good. Suppose the doctors went on that principle. (We beg the doctors’ pardon.
