Medical Advertisements Bill

What are known as patent medicines are often more effective than medicine prescribed by a doctor, otherwise those patent medicines that have proved beneficial would not have the lai’ge sale which they do. Next year regulations provide that advertising of these, patent rhedicines is to be severely restricted, thei’eby depriving thousands of sufferers from x’elief of their pains and illnesses through not being made aware of the benefits which certain remedies give. Many thousands have received wonderful benefit from the use of R.U.R. and they can do a service to fellow-sufferers by writing to the R.U.R. Company of the benefits received, so that the Government may be confronted with proof of its healthgiving and pain-relieving properties. A ku’ge packet of R.U.R. will be sent fr*ee to the writer of every genuine testimonial sent in.

Will vou who have benefited please write to R.U.R. (N.Z.), Limited. 141 Cashel Street, or P.O. Box 746, Christchurch. These testimonials will not be used for advertising purposes without first obtaining the permission of the giver.
