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 principles skillfully extracted
therefrom by the use OF chemically pure
glycerine of Just the right strength, con-
stitutes DR.. Pierce's F1yorite Prescrlp-
tlon tor the OF Wssx lRydld Id nery
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine. of proper
strength, Is a far better solvent and pre-
servative of the medicinal principles
found in our indigenous. or native, medi-
cinal plants, than is alcohol. Believing,
as he does, that the use of alcohol, even
in small portions, If long continued,
works great harm to the human system,
he determined not to employ this com
monty used agent in making his medi-
clnes, but to use pure, triple refined
glycerine instead. Now, glycerine is not
only perfectly harmless but possesses
Intrinsic medicinal properties, being a
most valuable demulcent, solvent, nu-
trtive, anti septic and anti ferment.
Since they are non alcoholic, DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines belong all by them
selpes. They are neither patent nor
secret medicines. Their ingredients are
printed, in plain English, on each bottle
The epaet proportion OF the several
ingredients used in these medicines, as
we'll as the working formula and peculiar
processes, apparatus and appliances en-
ployed in their manufacture, are with
held from publicity that DR.. Pierce's
proprietary rights may not be infringed
and. trespassed upon by unprincipled
ally inclined. ~ -.
