That the seraral American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
of which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind of endorsement BY scores OF lead
ing medical writers Of all the several
schools of practice, a brief glance at
the standard works on Mdterid Medica
will show. OF Golden Seal root, which
is one OF the prominent ingredients of
Golden Medical Discovery, "Dr. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, SAYS: Every useful as a stom-
achic (stomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh of
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root Overcomes also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis
Golden Seal root).
Dr.. Grover Coe, of New York, saws:

cises an especial influence over mu-
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and ef-
ticacy. AS cholagogue liver invig-
orator. it has few equals" DR.. Coe'
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal Viscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhea,
constipation, also i'll several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation of bladder, for
which DR.. Coe says cit is one Of the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, NJ. D., OF the
University Of Pa, says of Golden Seal
root that it is "of service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as a
tonic after malarial fever" He further
SAYS, 1t "has distinct antimalarial
influence" Also good in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rhCea, ETC., and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence Johnson, NJ. D., of
the Medical Department, University
City OF n. Y, is equally loud i'll his
praise OF Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonic and as an Alternative III dis
