| Question: |
Why does the author need to clarify that their medicine advertising is not fraudulent or unworthy? |
| Answer: |
The author needs to clarify that their medicine advertising is not fraudulent or unworthy because many religious papers are known to publish fraudulent and misleading patent medicine advertisements, causing distrust among readers. The author wants to assure their readers that they have not published any fraudulent or unworthy medicine advertisements and that they decline such advertisements every year. They also cite inquiries among their subscribers, a large percentage of whom use and benefit from well-known patent medicines, as evidence of their legitimacy. |

Your own and that of others; can you shrink then
From a few drops from veins of hoary vampires,
Who but give back what they have drained from
millions?

Catullus - Carmina |
|
The veriest atomy he looked,
With grimy fingers
clutching
and crooked,
Tight skin, a nose all bony and hooked,
And a shaking, sharp, suspicious way;
Blinking, his eyes had scarcely brooked
