many of the so-called patent medi-
cines containing injurious ingredi
ents as broadly published in some
journals of more or less influence.
this publicity has certainly been OF
great benefit in arousing needed at
tention to this subject. 1t has, in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly
suspected of containing the injurious
ingredients complained of. Recog-
nizing this fact some time ago, DIR.
Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y, took time
by the forelock," as it were, and pub
lished broadcast all the ingredients
of which his popular medicines are
composed. Thus he has completely
forestalled all harping critics and all
opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because
they are now of known composition.
Furthermore, from the formula
printed on every bottle wrapper, 1t
will be seen that these medicines
contain no alcohol or other habit
forming drugs. Neither do they
contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being pure
ly vegetable, extracted from the
roots of medicinal plants found
growing in the depths OF our Ameri-
can forests and Of well-recognized
curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in
small portions long continued, as in
obstinate cases of diseases, becomes
highly Objectionable from its ten
dency to produce craving for slim
ulants, DR.. Pierce employs chemical
ly pure, triple refined glycerine,
which of itself is valuable remedy
in many cases of chronic disease, be-
ing a superior demulcent, anti-sep-
tic, anti-ferment and supporting nu
tritive. 1t enhances the curative
action of the Golden Seal root,
Stone root, Black Cherrybark and
Bloodroot, contained in Golden
Medical Discovery" in all bronchial,
throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. AS will be seen
from the writings of the eminent
Drs. Grover Coe of New York, Bar
tholow of Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia; Scudder of Cincinnati,
Ellingwood of Chicago, Hale Of Chi
cago and others, who stand as lead
erS in their several schools of prac-
tice, the foregoing agents are the
very best ingredients that DR.. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his
famous Discovery" for the cure of
not only bronchial, throat and lung
affections, but also of chronic ca
tarrh in all its various forms in
whatever part of the system located.
By reading the writings OF these
eminent medical men contained in
the little booklet recently compiled
by DR.. r. Y. Pierce OF Buffalo. n. Y,
which will be sent free on request by
postal card or letter, addressed to
him, as above, the reader will find
that all the several native, medicinal
roots entering into the Golden
Medical Discovery" as also into DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for
woman's weaknesses and peculiar
ailments, are very highly recon-
mended and praised as cures for
diseases for which DR.. Pierce ad-
vises these famous medicines OF his
preparation.
DR.. Ellingwood says of Golden
Seal root, which is an important in
gredient in both "Favorite Prescrip-
ton and Golden Medical Discoy-
cry" it is an important remedy in
disorders of the womb" He con
tinues: In all catarrhal conditions,
especially in fabby, muscular relax
alton and general enfeeblement, it is
useful" Prof. Scudder, late of Gin
cinnati, says of Golden Seal root in
relation to its general effect on the
system, there is no medicine i'll use
about which there is such general
unanimity of opinion. 1t is univer-
sally regarded as the tonic, useful in
all debilitated states" DR.. Bartho-
low says that Golden Seal root S
valuable in uterine hemorrhagc
(bleeding), hemorrhagia (fooding)
and congestive dysmenorrhoea
(painful menStruatiOn)."
Prof. John King, author of the
American Dispensatory, says OF
Black Cohosh root, another ingred;-
