Would You Buy Medicine Because of This Guy?

He looks like Moses after he saw the golden calf, maybe a bit more wrung out. Quite a bit different from the models we see in medical ads today!

But George McKay, Esq., writes:

Kippen, Ont., June 17th, 1913.

"I have been using 'Fruit-a-tives' as a family remedy for many years. They are the best medicine I have ever tried. 'Fruit-a-tives' do me the most good -- they never gripe and their action is pleasant.

"I have used them for Indigestion and Constipation with the best results, and I heartily recommend them to anyone similarly afflicted.

"These troubles have left me completely and I give 'Fruit-a-tives' full credit for all this. A nicer pill a man cannot take."

GEORGE McKAY.

The enormous demand for "Fruit-a-tives" is steadily increasing, due to the fact that this wonderful fruit medicine gives prompt relief in all cases of Indigestion, Constipation, Sour Stomach, Rheumatism, Chronic Headaches, and Neuralgia, and all Kidney and Bladder Troubles.

50c a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25c. Sold by all dealers or sent on receipt of price by Fruit-a-tives Limited.

Comment: I wonder if they still make Fruit-a-tives. Anything that cures all cases of headaches can't be bad!
