DR.. Pierce's world famed medicines
leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo,
n. Y, has printed upon it's wrapper
all the ingredients entering into it's
composition. This is why SO many
unprejudiced physicians now prescribe
them and recommend them to their
patients when they would not think of
advising the use of secret nostrum.
They know what they are composed of,
and that the ingredients are those en-
dorsed by the most eminent medical
authorities of all schools of practice.
ALL RIGHTS PROTECTED.
The exact working formula for max
ing Dr. Pierce's medicines without the
use of drop of alcohol and preserving
them unimpaired in any climate for any
length of time, cost DR.. Pierce and bis
assistant chemists and pharmacists a
tedious course of study and expert
ments; extending over several years.
With the use of chemically pure glycer-
inc, of just the right strength, and with
laboratory apparatus and appliances
specially invented and designed to carry
on the delicate processes employed, DR..
Pierce finally found that all the medioi-
nal principles residing in the several
native medicinal roots could be more
perfectly extracted and better preserved
from fermentation than If alcohol was
employed.
Besides the glycerine, of itself, pos
sesses the property Of greatly enhancing
agents employed, whereas alcohol il
well known to be Objectionable in any
medicine to be employed in chronic or
| lingering diseases, where, at best, treat
ment must be continued over consid-f
cradle period of time in order to make
the cure complete and permanent.
The exact proportion of the several
/ ingredients used in these medicines as
we'll as the king formula and peculiar
process, apparatus and appliances
employed in their manufacture, are
withheld from publicity that DR.. Pierce's
proprietary rights may not be infringed
and trespassed upon by unprincipled
] cally inclined.
In favor of DR.. .Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confding, open, honest
statement of their full composition,
giving every ingredient in plain English,
without fear of successful criticism and
with confidence that the good sense of
the afflicted will lead them to appreciate
/ this honorable manner of ,confding to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
A lite book of extracts from many
standard medical works of all the diff
ferent schools of practice, indorsing, in
the strongest terms, all the several in
gradients entering into DR.. Pierce's
medicines and telling what diseases
d these most valuable medicinal agents
will cure, will be mailed free to any

hardness and makes an admirable soil
There Will be twelve piers, each 500
feet long and 200 feet in width, covered
by sheds. with basins 200 feet in width
between these, each basin affording
ferths for four large ships, a total of
forty-eight for the twelve piers.
Space will also be provided for a
dry dock, with complete facilities In
other words. the plant at the termi-
nal is to be on a scale. much larger
than anything yet seen in that part of
the country. Mr. Flagler says he can
not himself estimate the cost on this
extension of his road, as he does not
yet know how much of it will be what
is known as rock fill and how much
cement, but~what is best and strong
est will be used, so as TO bid defiance

absolutely safe, no matter what the
weather may be.
The road viii pass through the
most tropical and fertile parts of Flor

the growth of truck and fruit, for the
opening of new pleasure resorts and
for new haunts for the fisherman and
the hunter, and will then pass on to

forded exceptional facilities for traV-
ell to Cuba, for steamers far larger
than any ever used in those waters

ways, and he knows the possibilities
OF that garden island" He was there
last winter and spent a week as the
guest of another distinguished railway
president, Sir William Van Horne, who
is in charge of the leading railways in
Cuba. Mr.. Flagler found TO his sur
prise that only one-eighth of the ar
able land there had ever been put in
cultivation.
Speaking of the possibilities of
lower Florida, Mr.. Flagler remarkei
that until recently he himself had not
known how extremely fertile the soil
was south of Miami. 1t is true that
south of that river the grapefruit and
other citrus fruits grow to greater
abundance han elsewhere. Grapefruit
trees are seen bearing four to five
hundred pounds of this fruit.
THE development of orange culture
below the Miami is sure TO be very
marked. The Florida orange is gen
orally regarded as the best on earth.
