Buried deep in our American forests,
many years ago, DR.. Pierce found q
beautiful, blooming plant the root OF
which possesses wonderfully efficacious
properties as . stomach and general
tonic, also as an alternative or blood
purifier and liver .inyigorator, having an
especial affinity for all mucous surfaces
upon which it exerts q most salutary,
soothing and healing influence.
This sturdy little plant is known to
botanists as Hydrastis Canadensis, but
has several local English names, being
generally known as Golden Seal. DR..
Pierce found the root of this common
forest plant to possess medicinal prin-
ciples of great potency, especially when
combined, in just the right proportions,
with Queens root, Black Cherrybark,.
Stone root, Mandrake root and Blood
root, the properties of each being ex-
traced and preserved in chemically
pare glycerine of proper strength. :.
This compound DIR. Pierce named
his uGolden Medical Discovery" in
honor of the sturdy little Golden Seal
plant, So little used was the root of
this plant by the medical profession at
that time, that it could be purchased
In the open markets for from fifteen
cents to twenty cents q pound. The
use of many tons Of this root every
year in DR.. Pierce's two leading medi-
cines-for il enters into both "Golden
Medical Discovery" and also into DR..
'piefce's Favorite Prescription - one Of
their most important ingredients-has
caused the price Of the root TO advance
until to-day it commands upwards Of
. dollar and hall . pound.

DR.. Pierce believes that in our native
forests are to be found an abundance of
most valuable medicinal plants for the
cure of many distressing and most
fatal maladies, If we would only seek
them out, test them and learn how
and for what diseases to use them.

for the most harmless remedial agents.
