Look for the cause of backache
To be cured you must know the
cause.

A McConnellsburg resident
tells you how.
Mrs. Lueinda CU vender, Wa
ter St., McConnellsburg, says:
".My back ached badly and I
couldn't do my housework. I
bad dizzy spell and chills and
was annoyed by the secretions
Often swellicpa appeared under
my eyes and I was very nervous
at night. I was troubled with
rheumatic twinges. Doan's Kid

trouble. I procured them at

GOODS ON AITKOYAL
Utile Ti!ks on Health and Hjgtcne by
Samuel G. Dixon, M. D., LL D.,
Comoiissioncr of Health.
It ia the custom with many
firms to, send certain classes of
goods to their customers' homes
on approval. If they are not sat
isfactory, the prospective pur
chaser has the privilege of ex
changing them. Obviously it is
impossible for the salesman to
know what conditions are in the
house where such goods go, who
handles them, and how they are
tried or examined. The possi
bility of spreading communicable
disease is very real.
When new things go into a
home, curiosity and interest is
naturally aroused in all the mem
bers of the family. Children and
adults join in' the examinatiqn.
Of course where there are cas
es of communicable diseases
which have been reported and
quarantined, no goods are deliv
ered on approval. There are oft
ten cases of disease, however, in
the early stages unrecognized or
so mild in form as to make it
seem unnecessary to call a phy
aician. Into these hoitfes mer
chandise is delivered without
question.
Modern salesmanship is far re
moved from the sharp barter o
earlier days and fair dealing and
honest representation are recog
nized as necessary foundations
for success.
Sending goods on approval.
however, is carrying things so
far that it may result in harm to
the purchaser.
