ANOTHER HEAD ON TIE HYDRA. /"

1t is time attention was drawn to a
form of alcoholic traffic that seems to
have been overlooked by those engag-
ed in the crusade against the rum
power. If, as is believed and taught.
alcohol is most dangerous when it
nghtS IN ambush, if it is most to he
dreaded when it finds it's first entrance
to the system in the pleasant sauces
and dishes of the home, then the form
OF alcoholic traffic in question is doubly
dangerous, for it comes in the guiss
Of medicine and attacks a system pre-
pared by weakness to easily surrender
to the assault. In many
PATENT MEDICINES
which are largely consumed throughout
the country, by all classes of people.
lhere is percentage Of alcohol which
puts them on level with beer, rum,
ana whisky as intoXicants 1t is the
smallness only of the dose prescribed
which prevents a prompt recognition
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 alco-
hol1c EFFECTS as a stinaulant In fact
those who know, attribute the benefits
wholly TO the stimulative effect of the
aIcohol they 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 reg
ular finger of 'bitters' is to the reg
ular liquor drinker
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
What ought to be done at least is
TO compel every patent-medicine manu-
racturer to put on the wrapper of his
bottle the quantity of alcohol it con-
tains. That would at least leave people
to exercise their own judgments More
than that, no paper truly interested in
temperance reform should print the adj
vertisement of any alcoholic medicine.
1t should be the duty of every temper
ance organization and branch in the
country to look into this question, agi-
tate 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 statement Of
1acts made in the foregoing article, we
wish to call general attention to the
fact that DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
discovery and DR.. 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.
Ihey are In the strictest meaning Of
the words, temperance medicines OF
no other medicine, put up especially
Tor woman's use can 1t be truthfulIy
afflrmed, as of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that 1t contains neither
alcohol nor opium or other narcotic in
any form.
lille the negative features of DR..
Plerce'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 nutritive organs Is testi-
ded to by tens of thousands who have
found health and healing in this great
remedy. The Discovery increases
the action of the blood making glands.
and by curing the diseases which cor
| rupt and cripple the stomach and d.
gestive and nutritive organs, it enables
full and pure supply of blood to be
sent to every part of the body.
WOMEN KNOW IT'S WORTH.
Women who are always appreciative
of benefits, have been especially. APP
preciative of the benefits following the
use Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's wonderful cures of Irregular
tiles, inf1ammations, alterations, and
female troubles, have caused women to
name 1t, that God-send to women"
It is entitled to wear the "blue ribbon"
