THE GOOD THINGS OF EARTH
Are Not ALI Far Fetched.

That our American forests abound in
plants, the roots of which possess the most
valuable medicinal and curative virtues,
is abupdantly attested by scores of the
most eminent medical writer's and teach
ers of our age. Even the untutored
Indians had, by intuition and expert
ment, discovered the usefulness OF many
native plants before the advent OF the
white race on this continent. This in
formation, crude though it was, impaired
freely to the friendlier of the whites led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots and
herbs.
1t is no longer thought necessary that
q medicinal agent, in order to be good
and useful, must have been brought
across the ocean or that rbeing carried
seven times across the Sahara Desert on
the backs of fourteen camels" makes it
the more valuable.
DIR. Pierce believes that our American
forests abound in most valuable medi-
cinal roots for the cure of most of our
obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we
would properly Investigate them: and,
in confirmation of this firm conviction,
he points with pride to the almost mar
velous cures effected by his uGolden Med
ical Discovery" which has proven itself
to be the most efficient stomach tonic,
liver inyigorator, heart tonic and regu-
lator, and blood cleanser known to med
ical science. Not less marvellous. in the
unparalleled cures it is constantly max
ing of woman's many peculiar affec-
tiOns, weaknesses and distressing derange-
ments, is DIR. Pierce'S Favorite PreScrip-

of unsolicited testimonials contributed by
grateful patients who have been cured by

tiles, prolapsus and other displacementS,

tions, often after many other advertised
medicines had failed.
