Too Weak to Wear Coat- -Could
not. Speak Above Whisper
Bear’s Emulsion Cured Him.
John D. Boar, Etkton, Va.
Dear Sir: Eight years ago I
was a great sufferer from weak
ness, weak lungs and pleurisy
and coughed nightand day and
raisod and expectorated a quart
in 24 hours. I had as many as
four or five night sweats in
one night, my pulse would
run as high as 140 and my
temperature was about 103. I
was so weak I could hardly walk
to the diningroom. I had no
appetite and everything I saw
nauseated me. 1 couldn't stand
the weight of my coat ou my
shoulders, and could not speak
above a whisper at times. I was
in one of the best sanitariums in
the South, but seemed to be
growing worse every day and
was about to give up whon a
friend asked me to try Bear’s
Emulsion. 1 did so and had ta
ken it but two days when I be
gan to improve. My appetite
improved, and I felt stronger, I
coughed very little, my lungs
stopped hurting me and it was
not long until I could walk two
miles a great deal easier than I
could walk around the sanitar
ium before taking the Emulsion.
1 took 18 bottles and today I am
a well man and owe a great deal
to Bear’s Emulsion.
Sincerely,
G. T. Harnsberger.
Anyouo who doubts the genu
neness of this testimonial will
please write to Mr. Harnsberger,
at Elkton, Va,, who will take'
pleasure in replying.

NON BELIEVERS IN ADVER

“There are men who do not be-1
lieve in advertising—good men j
and wise, bat that signifies '
naught. It is but a brief while
since many men believed that
the earth was flat, but it was
round all the time. The earth
did not change its shape; men
merely altered their views. The
point of it all is that these are
established facts in nature and
belief or disbelief dc.es not change
the facts.
Suppose tor instance, you were
to say “I do not believe in dark
ness; I do not want darkness.’'
Will it not grow dark tonight
quite the sam9 as though you
were heartily in favor of it?
You may not like the telephone
or typewriter or adding machine
—thousands of persons do not—
but these are established instru
ments in today’s activities amt
your feelings will not alter the
facts. To reluse to use them
stamps you as being behind the
times, and competition with the
man or business which does use
them is no longer possible for the
man or business which does not
use them.
The timo has passed forgiving
serious attention to the man who
does not beliove in advertising,
Advertising is as much a part of
today’s life as electricity, auti
septic or trolly traction.
The system under which he
who has something to sell tells
about it to those who do or should
use it, is a proven, established,
actual fact and no single fact has
yet been whipped by an army of
opinions.”
The above extended quotation
is taken from the chapter “To
Non Believers” in a little booklet
just issued by N. W. Ayer &
Son of Philadelphia, entitled
“The Ayer Idea in Advertising.”
Aftorau experience of forty-three
years in the advertising field,
during which time the rise and
fall of not only many advertis
ing agencies has been noted but
of many non-advertisers as well,
the above conclusions are most
weighty an l well worth the ser
ious consideration of every busi
ness man.
This agency claims, and facts
seem to justify the same, that it
serves the largest number of ad
vertisers as well as a number of
the largest advertisers in this
country; that it has more ac
