'AYOTHER HEAD on TnE HYDRA.D

1t is time attention was drawn TO a
form Of alcoholic traffic that seems 10
have been overlooked by those engaged
in the crusade against the rum power.
II, as Is believed and taught, alcohol Is
most dangerous when Il fights IN ambush,
Il il Is most TO be dreaded when Il finds
its first entrance 10 the sgstem in the
pleasant sauces and dishes oil the home,
then the form OF alcoholic traffic in ques-
ton is doubly dangerous, for II comes IN
the guise OF medicine and attacks sys-
tenn prepared by weakness TO easily sur
render 20 the assault In many
PATENT MEDICINES
which are largely consumed throughout
the country, by all classes OF people,
there is a percentage Of alcohol which
puts them on level with beer, rum and
whisky as intoxicants. II Is the small
ness only OF the dose prescribed which
prevents a prompt recognition OF the IN
toxicating effects OF these so-called medi-
cines by those who use them.
at Is safe 10 affirm that they are
MEDICINES IN NAME ONLY.
Their chief value lies In their alcoholic
effect as a stimulGut. Inaact, 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 theoe
people as his regular =" finger Of Bit
ters" is TO the regular lquor-drinker.
WHAT CAN BIZ DoNEl
"What ought 10 be done at least is to
aombei etefy paieHf-MediefHs maHHfacf-
Eyey 10 PIT on ne tgygRPey Of ms eoifEe
he quantity Of alcohol ~ eOHfafHS. That
would al least leave people 10 exercise
their own judgments. More than that,
no paper truly interested in temperance
reform should print the advertisement
of any alcoholic medicine II should be
the duty of every temperance organiza-
tion and branch In the country TO look
into this question, agitate Il, and deal
with the facts Just as earnestly and as
honestly as other facts have been dealt
with"
Appreciating the gravity Of the issue
raised by the strong statement OF facts
made In the foregoing article. We wish
10 call general attention 10 the fact that
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and DIR. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription
contain
NO ALCOHOL, NO WHISKY, NO IEroxI-
CANT or ANY KIND.
These medicines are equally free from
opium and other narcotics.
They are in the strictest meaning OF
the words, Temperance MedsesHeS. OF no
other medicine, put up especially for
woman rs use can Il be fy1sfhfaliy affirmed,
as OF DIR. Fierce's Favorite Prescription,
that II aosiaiHs neither alcohol nor 0piS1s
OF other narcotic ~ any IOySN.
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 10 every one. The great
value Of "GOlden Medical Discovery

ditions OF the stomach and digestive and |
