so much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, of all the
several schools of practice, IN praise
OF the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
Zion of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to; quote
from the various works on Materso
Medica one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are SO voiumin-
Gus that only the briefest and most I'M
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Briefly then let US say that the
"Golden 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, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Elhngwood, M. D., an emin,,
emit practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor Of Materia Medsca in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: cit 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
gastritis inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) liberation"
/ Many other authorities as we'll as DR..
! Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
/ Seal), as O remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
! and bladder. Among these, we may

& All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden

I many disorders of the womb" Colder
Il Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

But to return to the vGolden Medica
