“REMEDIES TRUE TO LABEL”

My Dear Public:

After a life time devoted to the study of Drugs and Chemicals and the compounding

and distribution of medicines I now offer a few “Remedies true to Label" under my

name and personal guarantee.

Each product represents a favorite and carefully selected prescription of known

therapeutic value and when used as directed will result in the conservation and im¬

provement in health and relief from pain.

Laboratory work necessary for their production and packaging is supervised by

skilled, experienced pharmaceutical chemists which coupled with the use of pure

drugs and chemicals enables me to market "Remedies true to Label” as perfect products

at sensible prices.

Very truly yours.

L/ T7, MATTHEWS LIQUID ANALGESIC-F or relief of the discomfort of pain due to simple headache and

neuralgia, muscular aches and pains.

MATTHEWS LAXATIVE COLD CAPSULES-For the relief of common colds.

MATTHEWS WHITE PINE COMPOUND SYRUP —For coughs, bronchial irritations and hoarseness.

MATTHEWS AQUEOUS NOSE DROPS-F acilitates breathing in common head colds and hay fever.

MATTHEWS TOOTHACHE OUTFIT—A temporary filling for aching teeth due to exposed cavities.

MATTHEWS TOOTHACHE WAX-For the relief of aching teeth.

l am the Answer

I am the warm voice that answers the

ARTISTS phone calls at intervals that

you cannot be reached.

I am Assurance

I allay the fear in the producers mind,

while assuring them that the Artists will

shortly return their call.

f am Security

I guarantee the ARTIST that his mes¬

sages will not be injured because a

producer was unable to reach him

when needed. I promise the Artist that

the producers will not be provoked by

unnecessary waiting.

tarn Experience

More than five million calls have

passed through my hands during my

years of service. Five million calls and

a score of years have given me knowl¬

edge possessed by no one else; for

while I have served many masters dur¬

ing those years, I have served only one.

Telephone Message Exchange alone

can boast management with fifteen

years of continuous successful experi¬

ence.

f am Economy

My services cost only a few cents a

day and they protect the work that

has taken you years of study and

hundreds of dollars to build up. I am

eager that you too should know my

keen and masterful handling of phone

calls and the peace of mind that comes with our service.
