ANOT HER HEAD ON THE HYDRA. "

ANU uEA nEdU YIN l0h HiDhh.
1T is time attention was drawn to
form of alcoholic traffic that seems to
nave been overlooked by those engaged
II the crusade against the rum power.
Ii, as is believed and taught, alcohol is
most dangerous when it tights in am
Oush, il 1t is most to be dreaded when
{ nnds its first entrance to the system
n the pleasant sauces and dishes OF
the home, then the form of alcoholic
traffic in question is doubly dangerous,
for it comes in the guise of medicine
and attacks a system prepared by
weakness to easily surrender TO the
assault In many
PATENT MEDICINES
which are largely consumed through
out the country, by all classes of peo-
pie, there is a percentage OF alcohol
which puts them on a level with beer,
rum, and whisky as intoxicants. 1t is
the smaIlness only of the dose pre-
scribed which prevents a prompt rec
ognition OF the intoxicating effects of
these so-called medicines by those who
use them.
1t is safe to affirm that they are
MEDICINES IN NAME ONLY.
Their chief value lies in their alcoholic
effect as a stimulant. In fact, those
who know. attribute the benefits as
cribed to this class of medicines wholly
TO the stimulant effect Of the alcohol
Jhey contain. They are used largely
by persons 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"
| # "bitters' is to the regular liquor
| drinker.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
What G ght to be done at least is to
compel every patent-medicine manu-
'acturer to pUt on the wrapper OF his
bottle the quantity Of alcohol it con-
tains. That would at least leave peO-
pie to exercise their own judgments.
More than that, no paper truly inter
ested in temperance reform should
i print the advertisement of any alcC-
hOlic medicine 1t should be the duty
Of every temperance organization and
| branch in the country to took into this
question, aEitate it. and deal with the
| facts just as earnestly and as honestly
as other facts have been dealt with"
Approaching the gravity of the is
sue raised by the strong statements Of
! facts made in the foregoing article. We
wish to call general attention to the
| fact that Or. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and m. Pierce's FavCrite
| Prescription contain
| NO ALCOHOL, NO WHISKY. NO IN
TCNICANT OF ANY KIND.
These medicines are equally free from
opium and ether narcotics.
n % crrictoct r7ao0iDcy nf
the words, temperance medicines. OF
no other medicine, put up especially
for woman's use can it be truthfully
affirmed, as Of d.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, HAT it contains neither
alcohol nor opium or other narcotic in
any form.
While the negative features Of DR..
Pierce's medicines may only interest
some of the readers Of this article, the
positive features Of these medicines
must be of interest to every one. The
great value Of Golden Medical Dis
covery' in the cure Of diseased or de-
ranged conditions of the stomach and
digestive and nutritiye organs is testi-
fed to by tens Of thousands who have
found health and healing in this great
remedy. The 'DscOyery" increases
the action Of the blood making glands,
and by curing the diseases which cor
rupt and cripple the stomach and di-
gestive and nutritiye organs, it enables
full and pure supply Of blood to be
sent to every part Of the body.
WOMEN KNOW ITS WORTH.
Women who are always appreciative
of benefits, have been especially ap-
preciative of the benefits following the
use Of Dr. Pierce's FayOrite Prescrip-
ton. Its wonderful cures Of Irregular
tiles. inflammaJiOns alterations, and
female troubles, have cuscd women to
name it. that God-send to women.
! 1t is entitled to wear the blue ribbon"
of merit as we'll as the blue ribbon of
temperance.
