at is time attention was drawn to q
form Of alcoholic traffic that seems to
have been overlooked by those engaged
in the crusade against the rum power.
If, as is believed and taught, alcohol is
most dangerous when it fights in ambush,
if it is most to be dreaded when it finds
its first entrance to the system In the
pleasant sauces and dishes OF the home,
then the form of alcoholic traffic in ques-
ton is doubly dangerous, for it comes III
the guise of medicine and attacks sys-
tenn prepared by weakness to easily sur
render 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 level with beer rum and
whisky as intoxicants. 1t is the small
ness only of the dose prescribed which
pteyeuts prompt recognition OF the ln-
toxicatiag effects of these so-called medl-
cines by thoss who use them.
at is safe to af1rA that they are
MEDICINES IN NAME ONLY.
Their chief value lies in their alcoholic
effect as stinulant. In fact, those who
know, attribute the benefits ascribed to
this class of medicines wholly to the
stimulative effect Of the alcohol they
contain. They are used largely by per
sons not in the habit of drinking liquors,
and the little dose taken three or four
time a day is as stimulating to these
people Is his regular finger" of Bit
ters" is to the regular iquor-drinker.
WHAT CAN BIZ DoNH1
"What ought to be done at least Is 70
compel eve,y bakent-medie1ne mannfa1-
n,r1 to put on the wvatper Of his bottle
the quantity of alcohol it contains. That
gould at least leave people to exercise
their own judgments. More than that,
no paper truly interested in temperance
reform should print the advertisement
of any alcoholic medicine. 1t should be
the duty of every temperance organiza-
ton and branch in the country to look
into this question, agitate it, and deal
With the facts Just as earnestly and as
honestly as other facts have been dealt dealt
with"
Approaching the gravity Of the issue
raised by the strong statement Of facts
made in the foregoing article, we wish
TO call general attention to the fact that
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and DR.. PieYce's Favorite Prescription
contain
NO ALCOHOL, NO WHISKY, NO INfOXI.
CANT OF ANY KIND.
These medicines are equally free from
opium and other narcotics.
They are in the strictest meaning of
the words, Temperance medicines. Of no
other medicine, put up especially for
womau' s use can it be truthfnlly affirmed,
as of Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
that it contains neither alcohol nor opium
or other narcotic In any form.
While the negative features OF Doctor
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 Discovery"
in the cure Of diseased or deranged con-
ditions of the stomach and digestive and
uutritive organs is testified to by tens of
who have found health and
healing in this great remedy. The Dis
increases the action of the blood
making glands, and by curing the dis.
eases which corrupt and cripple the
stomach and digestive and nutritive Or
gans, it enables full and pure supply Of
blood to be sent to every part of the body.
woMEN KNOW rs WORTH.
Women who are always appreciative |
Of benefits, have been especially appre-
riative Of the benefits following the use
sf Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its
wonderful cures of irregularities, infam-
alterations and female troubles,
have caused women to name it, "that
Cod-send to women" 1t is entitled to
wear the "blue ribbon " of merit as we'll |
y the blne ribbon Of Temperance. !
