DIR. riERCE's FAITH.
Dr.. Pierce believes that in our native
forests are to be found All abundance OF
most valuable medicinal plants for the
cure OF many distressing and most
fatal maladies. il We would only seek
them out, test them and learn how

Furthermore, he believes that the veg.
ctable kingdom is the one TO resort to

where tits necessary. to make protracted
use OF them in order to experience per.

being purely vegetable, are perfectly
harmless. In other words, while they
are potent TO cure, being purely vcgc-

hind. This is not generally true when
mineral medicines and those containing
large percentages Of alcohol nre taken
into the system and their use protracted

medicinal plants than is alcohol; and
furthermore, that it possesses intrinsic
medicinal properties OF its own, being
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and 8
most efficient anti-ferment.
