All observing people must naNe
noticed growing sentiment i'll tbs
country in favor of using only pat
up foods and medicines OF known
composition. 1t is but natural that
one should have some interest in
the composition of that which he is
expected to swallow, whether it be
food, drink or medicine. This sen
timent has resulted in the introduce
ton in the legislatures of many of
the States, as also in the Congress
OF the United States, bills providing
for the publication of formula or in
gradients on wrappers and labels OF
medicines and foods put up for gen
eral consumption.
Recognizing this growing dispo-
sition on the part OF the public gen
erallys and satisfied that the fullest
publicity can only add to the we'll
earned reputation of his proprietary
medicines, DR.. r. Y. Pierce OF Buf-
falo, n. Y, has taken time by the
ferelock," as it were, and is publish
ing broadcast, and on each bottle
wrapper, full and complete list Of
all the ingredients entering into his
medicines, Golden Medical Discov-
cry" the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and
heart regulator; also of his Favor
ite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, debilitated,
nervous, invalid women.
This bold and outspoken move
ment on the part of DR. Pierce has,
by showing exactly what his we'll
known medicines are composed OF,
completely disarmed all l1arping
critics who have heretofore unjustlv
attacked them A little pamphlet
has been compiled from the stanI-
ard medical authorities of all the
several schools of practice, showing
the strongest endorsements by lead-
ing medical writers of the several
ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce's medicines and recommend
ing these ingredients for the cure of
the diseases for which DR.. Pierce's
medicines are advised. A copy Of
this little booklet is mailed FREE
to any one desiring to learn more
| concerning the valuable, native, me-
dlc1nal plants which enter into the
composition of DIR. Pierce's medi-
clnes. A request, by postal card or
letter, addressed to DR.. r. V.
| Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, will bring
this little booklet by return post. 1t
tells exactly what ingredients are
used in the making of DR. Pierce's
famous medicines.
This striking departure of DIR.
Pierce from the usual course pur-
sued by the manufacturers of pro-
prletary medicines at once takes his
medicines out of the class generally
known as patent" or secret medi-
cines, neither of which term is at
all applicable to them, as their
formula now appears on the wrap
per OF every bottle leaving the great
laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y. 1t
| places them in class ALL BY
THEMSELVES. Neither of them
contains any alcohol, which fact
alone should cause them to be
classed all by themselves and as en-
tirely harmless vegetable extracts,
made and preserved by the use Of
| glycerine and not with the usually
employed strong alcohol, which
works SO much injury, especially in
cases where treatment, even though
of the best, must be continued for
considerable periods of time, in or
der to make the cure permanent.
Many years ago DIR. Pierce found
that chemically pure glycerine OF
proper strength was far better than
