PROFITABLE FARMING.
A New AoriculturaI Industry.

Fortunes are likely to be realized by
wide-awake, enterprising farmers, who
take advantage of the great boom IN the
price to be obtained for certain medicinal
roots easily susceptible of cultivation and
sure TO yield immense profits. One medl-
cal laboratory alone, that of DR.. Pierce
of Buffalo. N. Y, annually consumes
MANY ions of Golden Seal root which
enters largely into the composition of the
Doctors Golden Medical Discovery for
liver stomach and blood impurities, as
also into his "Favorite Prescription for
weak, nervous, invalid women.
A Great Boom.
From Is to % cents pound, at which
Golden Seal root could be bought in the
open market forty years ago, when Dr..
Pierce first commenced its use as a tonic
Alternative. and liver invigorator, it has
steadily advanced until now the ruling
price for 1t is upwards of dollar and
q half a pound!
A Word to the Wise.
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis) is
easily susceptible of cultivation and must
afford those who engage in raising 1t for
the market very large profits.
There is another medicinal root, ma
tive of our American forests, of which
Dr. Pierces laboratory uses vast guam
tity annually. 1t is Yellow Lady's slipper
mands close to so cents q pound and is
also susceptible of cultivation, and 1t Is
believed may be very profitably raised.
Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) is still
another medicinal root that commands a
high price, and 1t is thought might be
proitably cultivated.
Notwithstanding the great advance in
the cost of the precious ingredients which
enter into the composition of DIR. Pierce's
leading medicines the latter have not been
allowed to deteriorate one iota by any at
tempt to substitute cheaper ingredients III
the place of these very costly ones. lheg
are kept right up TO their high standard
of excellence in every particular Although
more costly than alcohol, chemically pure
giycerine takes the place of this generally
employed but very Objectionable agent
in the making of Dr. Pierces medicines
DR. Pierce has found it to be much
better article to employ both IN eNtrael,
Ing and also In preserving the medieiilal
active principles residing in our native
plants than in alcohol. Besides It's use 10
perfectly harmless.
All Alone.
The non-alcoholic character OF Dr.
Pierce's medicines places them In class
all by themselves. Then the further TACT
that all the ingredients entering into their
composition are printed in plain English
on the wrapper of each bottle leaving the
laboratory at Buffalo, N Y, also entities
them to a separate observation-disclosures as
patent or even secret medicines, Tor they
are neither, but honest medicines OF
known composition, which physicians may
prescribe with propriety since they know
what they are made of.
Eminent Professional Endorsement.
AS an indication of the high esteem in
which the medical profession are coming
- Ill., IF u ffl.
DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription, for
weak and ailing women is composed. we
have room here to insert only the follow
ing:
Dr. John Fyfe of Saugatuck, Conn.,, ed
flor of the department of therapeutics in
The Electric Review, says of Unicorn root
QIelonias Dloica) one of the chief ingred-
tents of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton.
"a remedy which invariably acts as a
uterine invgorator and always favors a
condition which makes for normal activ-
ity of the entire reproductive system,
cannot fail to be of great usefulness and
of the utmost Importance to the general
practitioner of medicine"
In Helonias we have a medicament
which more fully answers the above pur-
poses than any other drug with which ]
am acquainted In the treatment OF as
eases peculiar to women 1T is seldom thai

some Indication for this remedial agent. y
He continues: 'Helonias Unicorn root,
through its tonic and Alternative influence,
acts equally well in amenorrhoea (sup-
pressed menstruation) and in menorrhagia
flooding or profuse menstruation). 1t is
especially called for in cases of amenor-
rhoea which are accompanied by general
debility and an atomic (Weak) cond1tlon

1.-THE following are among the leading
indications for Helonias: Pain or aching

If the above symptoms are present, nc
invalid women can do better than take
DIR. Perce's Favorite Prescription, one OF
the leading ingredients of which Is Uni
corn root, or Helonias.
The most intelligent people employ DR.
Pierce's medicines because of their known
composition.
Why should one resort TO the gift en-
terprise." give away. trial bottle" medi-
cines so lavishly put out for invalids to
experiment with?
ones health is possession too precious
and sacred to be experimental with. When
lost or impaired why not take medicines
of known composition and with long
time record of cures behind them?
Sensible people do not run after or pat
ronize free distributions of fake medi-
cines of doubtful merits.
