Show Him the Door

An agent canvassing for M. I. S. T., is doing Ann Arbor. Lest the Argus should be a party to misleading the people, we wish to warn the people against the same M. I. S. T. The company making this medicine does not pay its honest debts. It 19 striving to beat everyone and the inference is patent that those who take the medicines are apt to be beaten. One fact to show the principles actuating the company. They asked for a half page space in this paper for a certain number of weeks as in hundreds of others to be paid when the first insertion was given. Our instructions were to draw on the Detroit office with whom the contract was made. We drew on it. The draft was returned refused. A letter told us to draw on the "home office" in Philadelphia, where the draft would be promptly met. We did so. The company didn't meet the draft. We ceased publishing the advertisement. They were prof use with promises and inveigled many of our companies into finishing their contracts. The company has been denounced as a fraud and a swindle. There are many reputable patent medicine contemporaries but this does not seem to be one of them and i our readers are wise, they will show the M. I. S. T. agent the door.
