The Health Bulletin March, 1930 us believe that it is something that will benefit our health or mean money to our pockets. A New Patent Star Appears Sometime late last summer we noted in nearly all the papers of the State attractive semi-news articles, sometimes with the little abbreviation "advt," stuck at the bottom, and sometimes not. All of the literature concerning this new wonder in the proprietary field brought to our mind familiar memories of some fifteen years ago when Tanlac was helping support a great number of exploiters in this State. All of the matter had a strangely familiar sound. So, to satisfy our curiosity, we wrote to the Bureau of Investigation of the American Medical Association for information concerning this new star among the patents, namely, Sargon. Sure enough the answer to our inquiry revealed the secret; in fact, two of them. The communication is so interesting that we are herewith publishing the letter in full. But the two secrets, as the reader wil note, are; first, the same talented artist who made a fortune out of Tanlac is now promoting Sargon; and, second, whisper this, it contains about 17 per cent of alcohol. The American Medical Association letter follows: "Sargon' comes in two forms, a liquid and pills. The liquid is the chief product and is simply one more of the nostrum that, apparently, owe their popularity to the alcoholic 'kick' that they contain. In this case, we understand that it is 17 per cent. In addition, the stuff contains some vegetable bitters, according to an analysis made in the Drug Laboratory of the University of Kansas. The 'Sargon Soft Mass Pills," which are i-ecom-mended as a complimentary treatment, are essentially phenolphthalein —in other words, they are laxative. "Sargon is being exploited in the ballyhoo manner that was used to advertise 'Tanlac' a few years ago. In fact, the man who is back of the stuff is the former exploiter of Tanlac." When the reader recalls that in the balmiest days of liquor traffic in this State good strong corn whiskey contained only about double that amount of alcohol, one grand reason for the popularity of this cure-all is no longer a secret. We had only to wait a few weeks after the beginning of this fine advertising last summer and fall before the appearance of the inevitable testimonials. Testimonial from Prominent Prohibition Lecturer and Former Congressman. True as the Pole Star, along in January we clipped the following advertisement from the Raleigh News and Observer. Now, this advertisement is not unusual, and there would be nothing in it out of the ordinary run of testimonials, but in this case the testifier is none other than Hon. W. D. Upshaw, for eight years a member of the United States Congress, This little nephew of the rural i school supervisor of Edgecombe Couti-ty is getting his share of the spring ^ simshine in a costume designed for • the purpose.
