"ANoTHER HEAD ON THE HYDRA

at is time attention was drawn to a
form of alcoholic traffic that seems ID
have been overlooked by those engaged
in the crusade against the rum power.
IT, as is believed and taught, alcohol is
most dangerous when IL fights in am
BUSH if II is most to be dreaded when Ii
finds it's first entrance to the system in
the pleasant sauces and dishes of the
home, then the form of alcohol traffic
in question is doubly dangerous, for 1t
comes in the guise of medicine and at
tacks a system prepared by weakness TO
easily surrender to the assault. IN many
PATENT MEDICINES
which are largely consumed throughout
the country, by all classes of people, there
is percentage Of alcohol which puts
them on a level with beer, rum, and
whisky as intoXicants. 1t is the smallneSs
only of the dose prescribed which pre-
vents a prompt recognition of the intoNi-
eating effects OF these so-called medicines
by those who use them.
'It is safe To affirm that they are
MEDICINES IN NAME ONLY
Their chief value lies in their alcoholic
effect as stimulant. In fact, those who
know, attribute the benefits ascribed TO
this class of medicines wholly to the
stimuative effect OF the alcohol they con-
tain HeN are uStu ldlS StiN pS pti9o'io
not IN the habit of drinking liquors, and
the little dose taken three or four times
a day is as stimulating to these people as
his regular finger" of ''bitters is TO the
regular liquor-drinker.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
What ought to be done at least is to
compel every patcnt-medicine manufact-
urer TO put on the wrapper of his bottle
the quantity of alcohol il contains. That
would at least leave people to exercise
their own judgments. More than that, no
paper truly interested in temperance re-
form should print the advertisement of
any alcoholic medicine 1t should BE- the
duty of every temperance organization
and branch in he country to look into
this question. aGitate it, and deal with
the facts just as earnestly and as hon
eStly as other facts have been dealt
with"
Approaching the gravity of the issue
J raised by the strong statement of facts
made in the foregoing article we wish 10
+ call general attention TO the fact that Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Or.
! Pierce's Favorite Prescription contain
! NO ALCOHOL, NO WHISKY, NO IN
TOXICANT OF ANY KIND.
/ These medicines are equally free from
/ opium and other narcotics.
They are in the striCteSt meaning Of
! the wordsi temperance medicines. OF no
! other medicine put up especially for
/ woman's use can il be truthfUlly af
! firmed as of DR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
/ scirption that 1t contains neither alcohol
nor opium OF other narcotic IN any form.
While the negative features of Dr.
/ Pierce's medicines may only interest some
! OF the readers nf this article, the positive
/ features of these medicines must be Of in
( terest 10 every lone. The great value Of
/ Golden Medical Discovery" III the cure
of diseased or deranged conditions Of the
/ stomach and digestive and nutritiye or
I sans is testified to by tens of thousands
/ who have found ihes ith and healing III this
great remedy i'he Discovery increases
the action of the blood making glands
/ and by curing the diseases which corrupt
and cripple the stomach and digestive
and nutritiye organs. it enables fun and
pure supply of blood TO be sent To every
I part of the body.
WOMEN KNOW IT'S WORTH
Women who are always appreciative of
benefits have been especially appreciative
of the benefits following the use of
DR. Pierce Favorite Prescription. Its
wonderful cures of irregularities, infam-
nations, ulcerationS. and female troubles
have caused women TO name il that God
( send To women" 1t is entitled TO wear
/ the blue ribbon OF merit well as the
blue ribbon of temperance
