Patronize Tribune advertisers. f Above we have a hand of copper wire to be worn around the wrist or ankle to ward off rheuma tism; a string of amber beads to cure goitre; an asafetida bag (remember it?) to be worn around the neck to keep away sickness (it kept people away); an ordinary door key for nose bleed, and last but not least, that spring Nemesis—sulphur BUT DON'T LAUGH! WITHOUT YOUR LOCAL DRUGGIST YOU MIGHT STILL BE USING THESE! n't have to be a grandpa to remember sulphur "n' molasses. Boys s all over the country were taking it every spring as recently as our own children might still be taking it; but like many another ■■wucn doctor cure," sulphur *n' molasses has practically vanished from the American scene. Why? Simply because your local druggist, backed by modern medical and pharmaceutical science has found better, safer and more effective ways to keep you well—not only in the spring but all the year round! MAYBE you think of your drug store principally as a place to buy ice cream sodas or a magazine. Have you ever stopped to realize that if your druggist were suddenly to disappear your doctor would be dangerously handicapped? He would be so busy making his own pills he'd have no time to care for you properly or to keep abreast of medical research. • THINK, too, of the amazing variety of packaged health products on your druggist's shelves! All of them scientifically prepared by skilled chemists in spotless laboratories, working under the direction of medical specialists. Creams that help keep your skin clear and unblemished; salves to guard you against sunburn and scalds, headache correctives, tooth pastes, .mouth washes, SIMPLE, SAFE, EFFECTIVE REMEDIES for sleeplessness, asthma and a host of petty aches and pains. And all of them manu factured, packaged and labeled according to the United States Government standards by firms whose laboratories are known the world over. BECAUSE you turn instinctively to your local druggist for these nationally advertised products, your health is better throughout the year. Your family has fewer colds, infections and illnesses. Many ailments, once common, are fast disappearing and your doctor has more time to help those who are really sick. THIS week especially—Nationally Advertised Brands Week—your local druggist is ready to help you and your family to stay healthier during the months to come. He will be offering many nationally advertised health products at especially attractive prices. You can save money by stocking your bathroom shelves now. Prepare to take advantage of his offers.
