So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, of all the
several schools of practice, in praise
of the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
tiono of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to quote
from the various works on Mdteria
Medica one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so volumin-
ous that only the briefest and most inn
perfect reference q be presented in q
short article like this.
Briefly then let us say that the
uGolden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable Ingredient, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an emin-
ent practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor Of Materia Medica in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: ut is
the most natural of stimulants to the
normal functions of digestion. Its in
huence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis Inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (sto1uach) ulceration."
Many other authorities as. we'll as DR..
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), IS a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, NJ. D., author
Of the American Dispensatory; Prof.
j. M. Scudder, M. D., in his q Specific
Medication" DR.. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, M. D., of New York, in his HOr-
ganic Medicines" DIR. Bartholow of JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
of.bowels. DIR. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, Win those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
says, ut is a most important remedy in
many 'disorders of the womb.n Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
Ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rrundownn
women.
But to return to the vGolden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root. each plays as important q part
in effecting the phenominal cures of
vGolden Medical Discovery as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement Of prominent
practitioners of all schools of medicine
for the cure of diseases Of the bronchia,
throat and lungs.
