serving the medicinal principles residing
IN our indigenous, or native, medicinal
plants, such as he employs exclusively
In manufacturing his medicines.
Some of these medicinal roots have,
since DR.. Pierce first commenced to use
them, advanced SO in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This is especially true of
Golden Seal root, which enters into
both the Doctors vGolden Medical
Discovery" and his uFavorite Prescrip-
ton" 1t now brings upward of ST. so

from Is to. 20 cents a pound. Many
tons of this most valuable root are
annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's
Laboratory.
From Organic Medicines" by Grover
Coe, M. d., of New York, we extract
the following concerning Hydrastis
Golden Seal root) which enters largely,
as we have already stated, into the COM
position of both "Golden Medical Dis
coyery" and "Favorite Prescription"
Dr.. Coe says: vHydrastis exercises an
especial influence over mucous sur
faces. Its action in this respect is so
manifest that the indications for it's en-
ployment cannot be mistaken. Hence
the efficiency of vGolden Medical Dis
coWry," which is rich in Golden Seal
root, in all catarrhal affections, no mat

Upon the liver it acts with equal GER
talnty and efficacy. AS cholagogue

Doctor Coe continues: cHydrastis

the treatment of chronic arrangements

resolving (dissolving) hillary deposits,
removing distinctions, promoting Sc

upon with confidence for the relief of

Or. COe further says: "We would
hTe add that our experience has de-
monstrated Hydrastis to be valu-
able remedy in bronchitis, laryngitis,
and other affections of the respiratory
organs"
After reading the foregoing extracts
who can doubt the great efficacy, in a
long list of diseases, of oGolden Med

ingredients of which is Golden Seal
root (Hydrastisl? And this applies
with equal force to Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription for weak, worm
