He Has Two Good Legs A. A. MARKS: ONE MADE BY NATURE, THE OTHER BY MARKS. READ WHAT HE SAYS: Dear Sir-I wish you to know how many days the leg you made for me worked during the year 1899. You see that it exceeds more working days of ten hours each than there are working days in the year. If you know of anybody with an artificial leg, who has turned out more days' work than I have firing a big coal engine, remembering that I have to walk two miles to work, and two miles from work, making four miles every day in addition to my work, let me know who he is, that I may compare time with him. During the month of January I worked 407 hours; February, 292; March, 358; April, 325; May, 280; June, 316; July, 337; August, 376; September, 337; October, 391; November, 375; December, 337......If you will add up the number of hours you will find it amounts to 4,131, or more than 413 days for the year, and you know there are only 313 working days in the year, so I have worked a year and ninety-six days in the year 1899, wearing your artificial leg every hour of that time, and it has not cost me one cent for repairs. It is as good now as it ever was. The engine that I am firing is one of those big ones that haul coal from the mines to Pottsville, No. 148. I enclose a photograph of my engine, where you will see me at my post of duty. I get all over her with the same ease that I ever did. Sometimes I climb on top of the boiler while in motion. I can tell you more about what I am doing with my leg if you want it. The hard use I am giving your leg and the excellent wear it is giving proves it to be the best in the world. FRANK FAUST, Pottsville, Pa. I am, respectfully yours, This demonstrates that a man may lose a leg in an accident and yet fire a locomotive. The Most Practical System of Keeping Physicians' Accounts ADOLPH BERND, P. O. BOX 598, ST. LOUIS, MO. SUCCESSOR TO HENRY BERND & CO. *** ****** S The Successful Introduction AS of a really meritorious remedy is immediately followed by the unwarranted and most damaging dissatisfaction of Imitations and Substitutions, which flood the market almost beyond the physician's comprehension, it therefore behooves us to kindly and particularly request not only the specification (Gude), but the prescribing of ORIGINAL BOTTLES by every physician who desires to employ in his treatment "Pepto-Mangan ("Gude") which is the original and only true organic preparation of iron and manganese, and the source and foundation of all the exceptional and positive therapeutic merit experienced in this product. Imitations with similar sounding names, but dissimilar in every other respect, are mischievous enough, but in nefariousness are yet unequal to substitution and the substitutor, against whom the physician's only assurance is an original bottle. GUDE'S PEPTO-MANGAN has, since its introduction to the Medical Profession of the World, always proved its superiority over other blood-making compounds, and furthermore will always substantiate all the statements so highly commending its value. As this certainty in efficacy has won for this preparation the confidence and reliance of the physician, we, to protect you, your patients and ourselves against such conscienceless methods, earnestly ask the prescribing of original bottles only. This request, though seemingly of little importance, will be significant in view of the astounding knowledge that 75% of the manufacturers are not only offering but selling gallons and kegs of so called "Just as Good" iron mixtures, which have not undergone and dare not undergo either the scrutiny of the physician or examination by the chemist. While there is only one Pepto-Mangan you will readily surmise the intent of these imitation preparations which are wholly Any one offering Pepto-Mangan in bulk form, either intentionally or unintentionally practises substitution; hence our solicitation for your co-operation against this harmful, unjustifiable, and inexcusable fraud.
