With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort In
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come I'M
der that head, the fact remains that
some Of these medicines are so firmly
established in popular favor and CON
fidence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith in them
One of the best known of these rem
edies is Dr. Pierces Fayorite Prescrip-
ton, medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as a stan
dard preparation for the cure of those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be
certain cure in nine cases out Of ten
and a sure relief in the other one
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. It is an abb
solutely pure medicine-made of roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scrlption contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal CHydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor Knows that such a pre-
scrlption is beneficial In the diseases
of women and when properly com
pounded is certain to effect cure in
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle of the
Favorlte Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed.
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol~In the Favorite
Prescription Dr. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepara-
ton of his famous household remedies.
For 1t he substituted chemically pure
glycerine which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full
strength. without any deleterious eff
