WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED

80 much has been written bv tn
standard medical authorities, of all th
several schools Of practice, in praiis
OF the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
ton of DIR: Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to quote
from the. various. works on Mate1;r
1Nedaca one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so volumin.
Gus: that only the briefest and most i'm.
perfect reference can be- presented in q
short article like this. # ,E6f
. Briefly then let us say that the
vGolden 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, il con-
talns 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 Mate9ia Medsca in the Bennett
Medical College Of that CITY. in his
recently published work on Theraneu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: ut is
the most natural Of stimulants to the
normal functions of digestion. Its in
fluence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritls inflammation of stomach and
gastric (stomach) ulceration."
Many other authorities as we'll AZ DR.
Elllngwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), as a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases OF the nasal passages, stomach.
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we NAV
mention Prof. John King, M. D., author
OF the American Dispensatorv: Prof.
): NJ. Scudder, M. D., in his vSpeciic
Medication" DR.. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Zoe, NJ: D., Of New York, in his vOr-
ganlc Medicines" DR.. Bartholow of JEFF
1erson Med. College and scores of other
Leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Sea! IN cases of stomach, liver and in
testlnal weakness, torpor and liberation
of bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, yin those cases Of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus. !
including the liver, is stagnant and |
Imperative" He also extoIs il most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-.
engagements peculiar to women and
says, VT is most important remedy in
many disorders of the womb" Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scrlptlon for weak, nervous, "rundown"
But to return to the vGolden Medical
discovery it may be said that it's cur
atlVe 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 '
e e important than the Hydrastis, or I
Golden Seal. -
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
Slndred ailments, Stone root, Black !
jherrybark, Queens root and Blood t
cot. each plays as important a part
r fttecting the phenomenal cures of e
Golden Medical Discovery" as does f
1olden Seal. All these Ingredients v
AVE the endorsement of prominent n
