But in the first place there are many who have conscientious objections to taking alcohol, even as a medicine. Secondly, the curative agent of Gin operates in spite of the alcohol, not be- cause the alcohol is a help to the cure, Investigations were made to deter- mine just what it was in Gin that tended to relieve Rheumatism, Lumbago, Scia- tica, Backache, Swollen Joints, Constant Headaches and all disorders arising from the kidneys, bladderand urinary system. This active agent, separated from the alcohol, was then combined with other diuretics and given the name of Gin Pills, 'for which a demand has grown greater than for any other medicine in Canada. Gin Pills have a wonderful record of success and anyone applying to the manufacturers can obtain copies of many of the testimonials received, Gin Pills are sold by all dealers every- where on a strict guarantee of satisfac- tion or your money back. They are 0c, a box or 6 boxes for $2.50. A free sample can be obtained by writing to the National Drng & Chemical Co. of Canada, Limited, Toronto, or to the U.S. address, Na-Dru-Co, Inc., 202 Elma, for November.
