WnSn we look DdCk 10 Ctfffut1oOu
and think of what mother advised
we feel pretty certain that she adj
vised what was right from her own
experience. She inherited later iii
her instinct OF motherhood a knowl-
edge of childish ailments and GER
tain class of remedies that she knew
well and their effects. Experience,
after all, is the best teacher. Most
mothers know as well as doctors,
and often better, what ails a yourg
girl on the threshold OF young wonl-
anhood, and what she needs. For
nearly forty years many mothers
have recommended to ailing girls a
prescription made from well-known
native, medicinal plants. Lady
Slipper root, Golden Seal root, Black
Cohosh root, Unicorn root, Blue
Cohosh root and chemically pure
glycerine make one OF the best pre-
scriptions for the periodical troubles
and Affections which visit woman
kind at one time or another. Prot.
F. Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett
Medical College, says of Lady
Slipper root: 1T exercises special
influence upon nervous conditions
depending upon disorders of the
feminine organs-relieves pain, rest
lessness and nervousness, Prof. Jno.
M. Scudder, Md. says of the same
root, ct is valuable in all cases of
nervous excitability or irritability.
OF Golden Seal root Edwin M. Hale,
M. D., professor of Materia Medica
at Hahnemann Medical College,
Chicago, says: In its general et-
fects on the system there is no med
icine in use about which there S
such general unanilnity of opinion.
It is universally regarded as tonic
useful in all debilitated states.
Prof. F. Ellingood, NJ. D., author
of "a Treatise on Materia Medica
and Therapeutics says of Golden
Seal root: 1T is an important rem
edy in disorders of the womb" OF
Black Cohosh root Prof. Jno. Nj.
King, NJ. D., author OF women
and Her Diseases" says: Upon
the reproductive organs it exerts a
specific influence, promoting regu-
larity. In dysmenorrhoea painful
periods) it is surpassed by no other
drug, being of the greatest utility
in Initiative and congestiye condi-
tons, for dragging pains resembling
the pains of rheumatism and for side
ache" Of Unicorn root the Amer
lean Dispensatory says: 1T is one
of our most valuable agents, acting
as a uterine tonic and gradually re-
moving abnormal conditions, while
at the same time it imparts tone
and vigor to the reproductive or
CANS, hence it is much used in leu
corrhoea, amenorrhoea suppressed
periods), dysmenorrhoea Ipainful
periods), ETC."
DR.. John Fyfe, editor of the "Ec-
lectic Medical Review says of Uni
corn root (Helonias Dioical, one Of
the chief ingredients of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription:
"a remedy which invariably acts
as uterine invigorator and always
favors a condition which makes for
normal activity of the entire repro
ductive system cannot fail to be OF
great usefulness and of the utmost
Importance to the general practition-
er of medicine. In Helonias we have
medicament which more fully an
swers the above purposes than any
other drug with which l am &C
quainted. In the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to women it is sell
dom that a case is seen which does
not present some indication for this
remedial agent"
He continues: "Helonias uni
corn root)-through its tonic and
Alternative inhuence-acts equally
well in amenorrhoea Suppressed
menstruation and in menorrhagla
flooding or profuse menstruation):
1t is especially called for in cases OF
amenorrhoea, which are accom-
panied by general debility and an
atomic weak condition OF the diges-
tive. organs, as it increases the APP
petite and promotes digestion ard
