AM IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Likely to Revolutionize Pharmacy.
A HAPPY COMBINATION

Of Just the right proportion of each
OF the roots of several indigenous,
or native, medicinal plants, or,
rather, of the active, medicinal prin-
ciples sklllfully extracted therefrom
by the use OF chemically pure glycer-
inc of Just tfie-right strength, cor
stitutes DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for the cure of weak, in
valid, nervous, rundown" over
worked women. Many years ago
DR.. Pierce discovered that chemic-
ally pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is a far better solvent and
preservative of the medicinal prin-
ciples found in Our indigenous or
native medicinal plants than is alco-
hol. Believing, as he does, that the
use of alcohol, even in small por-
tons, if long continued, works great
harm to the human system, he &c
termined not to employ this COM
monty used agent in making his
medicines, but to use pure, triple
refined glycerine instead Now,
glycerine is not only perfectly harm
less, but possesses intrinsic mediCi-
nal properties, being most valu-
able demulcent, solvent, nutritivc,
antiseptic and anti-ferment Since
they are non-alcoholic, Dr. Pierce S
Family Medicines BELONG ALL
BY THEMSELVES. They are
neither patent nor secret medicines.
Their ingredients are printed in
plain English on each bottle wrap
per.
The EXACT PROPORTION Of
the several ingredients used in these
medicines, as we'll as the working
formula and peculiar processes, APP
paratus and appliances employed in
their manufacture, are withheld
from publicity that DR.. Pierce's pro-
prietary rights may not be infrineed
and trespassed upon by unprin-
cipled imitators and those who may
be practically inclined.
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
With DIR. 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 getting, it is feared,
often lead men, and women, too, to
put forth unreasonable claims for
their loudly praised but many times
nearly worthless compounds. Es-
pecially should the afflicted 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 70
be experimental with.
DR.. Pierce's medicines have a rec
ord of nearly forty years of CURES
behind them, embracing many hum
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 writer's 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.
LITTLE BOOK
has been compiled, made up of brief
extracts from many standard medi-
cal works, giving, but only in part,
some few OF the many good things
written by leading medical authori-
ties concerning the several native
medicinal roots that enter into the
composition of DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. Any one sending, by postal
card or letter, to DR.. r. V. Pierce,
