BY A WELL KNOWN ARTICLE.

So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities OF all
the several schools of practice in
praise of the native, or American,
medicinal plants which enter INTO
the composition of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery that in
attempting TO quote from the va
rious works on Materia Medica one
hardly knows where to commence.
since they are so voluminous that
only the briefest and most imper-
feet reference can be presented in
a short article like this.
Briefly, then, let us say that the
Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which en-
tiers largely into its composition.
Besides this, most valuable ingredi-
ent it contains glyceric extracts Of
Stone root, Queens root, Black
Cherrybark, Bloodroot and Man
drake root.
Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an EN-
inent practitioner of Chicago and
Professor of Materia Medica in the
Bennett Medical College of that
city, in his recently published work
on Therapeutics, says OF Golden
Seal root: 1T is the most natural OF
stimulants to the normal functions
of digestion Its influence upon the
mucous surfaces renders it most inn
portant in catarrhal gastritis (in-
Elimination OF stomach) and gastric
| (stomach) liberation"
Many other authorities as we'll as
DR.. Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis
Golden .SeaD, as a remedy for ca
tarrhal diseases OF the nasal pas
sages, stomach, bronchia, gall ducts,
kidneys, intestines and bladder
Among these we may mention Prof
John King, NJ. D., author of the
American Dispensatory Prof. J. n
Scudder, NJ D., in his Specific
Medication" DR.. Hale of the
Hahnemann Med. College of Chi
cago; Grover Coe, NJ. D., of New
York, in his Organic Medicines; ,
DR.. Bartholow of Jefferson Med
College, and scores of other leading
medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent au
thorities extol the curative virtues
of Golden Seal in cases OF stomach
liver and intestinal weakness, torpoI
and liberation of bowels. DR.. El-
lingwood recommends it most high
ly lin those cases of atomic dyspep-
STA when the entire apparatus, i'll
Guiding the liver, is stagnant and in
operative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and
arrangements peculiar to women
and says "it is a most important
remedy in many disorders of the
womb" Golden Seal root (Hydras-
tis) is an important ingredient of DIR
Pierce's Favorite Prescription for
| weak, nervous, rundown" women
But to return to the Golden
Medical Discovery" it may be SAID
that its curative properties are not
wholly dependent upon Golden Seal,
valuable as it is, as other equally
potent ingredients add greatly to its
value and in fact are not less inn
portant than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and
Bloodroot each plays as important
a part in effecting the phenomenal
cures of Golden Medical Discov-
cry" as does Golden Seal. All these
ingredients have the endorsement
Of prominent practitioners of all
schools of medicine for the cure OF
diseases of the bronchia, throat and
lungs.
