Dawes Lachine Ale- A Cure for Intemperance, Montreal, 1911

Montreal Gazette, 25 August 1911, page 6

A remedy for intemperance

The most tolerant and broad-minded advocates of temperance realize that the proper remedy for intemperance is to educate people to drink good beer.

That

Dawes Lachine Ale

Is good beer is evident from the fact that more of it is sold in Canada than any other brand.

Insist upon having the Label with the Black Horse- the leader for a century.

Successful Complexion Renewing Treatment, 1911

Montreal Daily Star, 30 November 1911, page 2

 

Successful Complexion Renewing Treatment

 

A treatment for sallow, muddy or blotchy complexions that is always successful is the nightly application of plain mercolized wax from one to two weeks. This method is sure to succeed for the simple reason that it literally takes off and discards the old complexion.  The mercolide in the wax possesses the peculiar property of absorbing the worn-out faded or discoloured surface skin, coming off a little each day, in fine, almost invisible particles that no inconvenience or discomfort is experienced- and the most careful observer cannot detect the use of this treatment.

The mercolized wax, which can be had at any drug store, is applied the same as cold cream, but not rubbed in, and washed off in the morning.  The new complexion produced in this way, exhibiting the true beauty of health, is not to be compared with the kind made by cosmetics.

[Note from Gilliandr- yeah, not a good idea, great complexion- perhaps, as mercolized means the use of mercury.  A great looking corpse.]

Dr Chase’s Nerve Food, Motherhood and Medicine, 1900

Montreal Daily Star, 24 April 1900, page 6

The Secret of Happy Motherhood

 

Is Found in the Use of the Great Restorative- DR CHASE’S NERVE FOOD- It makes Women Healthy and Children Robust

 

It is the delight of every mother to see her children strong, healthy and happy.  She cannot expect them to be so unless she is in perfect health during the expectant period.  Then it is that the future health of the child is decided.

 

If mothers realized their duty to themselves and to their unborn child, their health would not be so neglected, and there would be fewer weak, puny, nervous children.  It is rich red blood and steady nerves that begets healthy children, and these foundations of good health come with the use of Dr Chase’s Nerve Food.

 

Here are quoted letters which illustrate the wonderful beneficial effects of Dr Chase’s Nerve Food on women and children.  It is the greatest restorative known to physicians to-day.

 

Mrs JM Bradley,100 James St.,Ottawa, writes:

“For several years I have been gradually running down in health.  I became nervous and weak, and worried greatly over my future.  Hearing of Dr Chase’s Nerve Food  and the wonderful results it has accomplished in others, I obtained a box and began to improve immediately, and am now restored to full health and vigor.  Dr Chase’s Nerve Food is an excellent remedy, and I can recommend it to all who are weak, nervous and run down.”

 

Mrs S Dempsey, Albury, Ont, writes:

“My little grand-daughter, nine years old, was pale and weak, she had no appetite, and seemed to be gradually growing weaker.  Dr Chase’s Nerve Food proved invaluable in her case, restoring health and color, and making her strong and well.”

 

Dr Chase’s Nerve Food has supplanted the weakening, debilitating purgatives, and Sarsaparillas as a Spring medicine.  Instead of weakening the body, Dr Chase’s Nerve Food builds up the fibres of the system; sends pure, rich, red blood coursing through the arteries, reconstructs the wasted nerve-cells, and prevents and cures the ills of spring.  In pill form, 50 cents a box at all dealers, or Edmanson Bates & Co,Toronto.

Dr McLaughlin’s Electric Belt, Montreal, 1900

Montreal Daily Star, 4 October 1900, page 2

 

[advertisement]

 

A Cure for Rheumatism

A Cure for Back Pains

A Cure for Weak Kidneys

 

A cure for stomach and liver complaints for all pains and aches and for all troubles resulting from the want of sufficient energy to keep the body healthy.

 

Dr McLaughlin’s Electric Belt,

The modern cure, the grandest remedy of the age.  Worn while you sleep, it fills the body with electricity, which gives strength to every organ, makes the blood circulate more vigorously, warms the stomach, liver, overcomes all pain and restores vigorous strength to every part.  It is unlike every other electric belt on the market to-day.  It is new, has improvements contained in no other, it is stronger than any other, warranted for one year.  You can feel its soothing gloss, but it never burns nor blisters, having the Dr McLaughlin special cushion electrodes and regulator.

10,000 cures  Every town and hamlet in the country sings its praises; every town has a cure by the McLaughlin Belt.  It does not matter what has failed to cure you, if you are sick you will find it a glorious relief from your troubles.  Try it at once.

Three months’ trial  Any honest man who will secure me can have my Belt on three months’ trial, and if it does not cure him he need not pay for it.  Is that fair?  Will any other concern treat you as fairly?  Has any other man as much confidence in his remedy?  My Belt cannot fail.

Caution  Beware of old style, burning electrode Belts, which are using an imitation of my cushion electrodes.  My office contains hundreds of these old belts, discarded as useless and dangerous by persons whose bodies had been scared and scarred by the large metal electrodes.  I will make special terms to anyone having one of these old back burners. 

Call and see the improvements in my belt or write for my free look.

Toronto, Ont, Sept 22^nd 1900

“Dr McLaughlin: Dear Sir, – I have been a rheumatic sufferer for the last 35 years.  I have spent a vast amount of money in doctoring and even wore other electric belts, but found nothing that would give me such relief as your appliance.  When I got your belt I could not put on my shoes, and had not had a night’s rest for a month previous.  I felt improvement from the first, and these pains are now a thing of the past, and it is a pleasure to be free from them.  Yours Gratefully

George Nicholson,

No131 Lippincott Street”

“Niagara FallsS, Ont, Sept 15^th ‘00

Dr McLaughin – Dear Sir- After suffering for 16 years with rheumatism and being so [illegible] at times that I could not walk.  I thank God that your belt has cured me.  I will always recommend it.  Yours truly

S Nickerson”
