Do We Guarantee?
We are frequently asked this question personally and by letter, and reply emphatically—No, we do not. To say Yes—would be illogical and certainly demoralising.
A guarantee that any medical remedy or curative will absolutely effect its stated purpose is misleading, deceptive, delusive, and is a trap to ensnare, not intelligent individuals, but the unwary, the unsophisticated, and those utterly unable to discriminate as to the merits or demerits of any so-called specific.
The dose was stated to be:
Nine tablets daily. Three taken three times a day before meals. They may be taken as pills or dissolved on the tongue.
The tablets had an average weight of 1 grain. Analysis showed them to contain 90·8 per cent. of milk sugar, 2·4 per cent. of greasy matter, which appeared to be a mixture of stearic acid and paraffin, evidently employed as a lubricant in making the tablets, and 6·8 per cent. of an extract which agreed well in its characters with extract of Fucus vesiculosus; its identity was further indicated by analysis of the ash. Each tablet would thus contain:
| Extract of bladderwrack | 0·07 | grain. |
| Milk sugar | 0·91 | ” |
The estimated cost of the ingredients for 112 tablets is ¼d.
