100000 LIBEL SUIT.

DR.. r. V. Pierce's company, The
Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
tion, of Buffalo, N. Y, has brought a
suit for libel against the publishers Of
The Ladies' Home Journal, of Phila-
delphia, for 100000 damages. The
sworn complaint has been filed in
1t appears from this that The Ladies'
Home Journal in a recent number
published an attack on patent med
icines. This article charged that the
well-known remedy, called Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription" con-
tanned seventeen per cent, of alcohol,
also certain drugs and that these in
gradients made the medicine harmful
and dangerous The sworn complaint
shows that the above statement is
wholly and absolutely false In every
particular, and that the medicine con-
tains no deleterious ingredients what
ever and none of the ingredients
stated in the article so published
being made of certain extracts of med
icinal plants and roots-harmless to
the most delicate constitution
When called upon, Dr. V. Mott
Pierce, an officer of the company said:
"In a recent article The Ladies'
Home Journal made this wholly un-
founded attack upon our remedy.
The charges made against our medi-
cine are absolutely false, as the COM
plant in cur suit shows. We find it
hard to understand how a reputable
of the high standing ald
enormous circulation of The Ladies'
Home Journal should make such a
statement without taking
pains to ascertain the facts. The
Doctor Pierce's Favorite
is so well and favorably |
known, and has such a wide sale,
that we could not afford to allow such |
a charge to pass unanswered. The |
fact is the 'Favorite Prescription is |
composed of extracts of medicinal
plants, roots and herbs, which would |
not harm the most delicate system. |
It is a false and unfounded attack |
upon the good name and repute of
our company"
