A HAPPY COMBINATION

OF just the right proportion of each
of the roots of several indigenous,
or native, medicinal plants. or rath-
er of the active, medicinal princi-
pies skillfully extracted therefrom
by the use of chemically pure gly-
cerine of just the right strength,
constitutes DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for the cure of weak,
invalid, nervous, rundown, over
worked women. Many years ago
DR.. Pierce discovered that chem
ically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is far better solvent and
preservative of the medicinal prin-
ciples found in our indigenous, or
native, medicinal plants than is al
cohol. Believing, as he does, that
the use of alcohol, even in small
portions, if long continued, works
great harm to the human system,
he determined not to employ this
commonly used agent in making
his medicines, but to use pure,
triple-rehned glycerine instead.
Now, glycerine is not only perfect
ly harmless, but possesses intrinsic
medicinal properties, being most
valuable demulcent, solvent, nutri-
tive, anti-septic and anti-ferment.
Since they are non-alcoholic. Dr..
Pierce's Family Medicines belong
all by themselves. They are Meth
er patent nor secret medicines.
Their ingredients are printed in
plain English, on each bottle wrap
per.
The exact proportion of the sew
eral ingredients usedin these medi-
cines, as well as the working formu-
la and peculiar processes, apparatus
and appliances employed in their
manufacture, are withheld from
publicity that DR.. Pierce's pro-
prietary rights may not be in
fringed and trespassed upon by un-
principled imitators and those who
may be practically inclined.
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
With DR.. Pierce's medicines you
don't have to pin your faith wholly
to what the manufacturer says of
their curative potency as with other
medicines. Mercenary motives, the
greed for money-getting, it is
feared, often lead men, and women,
too, to put forth unreasonable
claims for their loudly praised but
many times nearly worthless COM
pounds. Especially should the af-
flicted beware of the Cheap John, -
free. give away, trial bottle" dodge.
1t don't pay to trife with ones
health. 1t should be regarded as
too sacred to be experimental with.
DR.. Pierce's medicines have a
record OF nearly forty years of cures
behind them, embracing many hun
dreds of thousands of bad cases re-
stored to health and happiness.
THEY STAND ALONE
in having the professional endorse
ment of scores of eminent medical
practitioners and writers of all the
several schools of medical practice,
who praise the curative properties
of the several ingredients of which
they are composed, away beyond all
that the makers of these medicines
have ever claimed for them. These
are the more valuable because in ev-
cry case written without the author
knowing that he was praising ar
ticles entering into these popular
medicines, the matter being COM
posed for publication in various
medical journals and books de
signed exclusively for professional
reading and instruction. The al
flicted can, therefore, rely upon such
testimony as in every way truthful
and trustworthy.

cines. Any one sending by postal
