A VindicatiOn for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court OF the
State, Against the Ladies' Homo
Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of which
Dr. r. V. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.
for making false statements about one
OF his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies' Home Journal $500. Mr. Ed
ward Box. the editor. stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever; that Mr..
Bok's statement. pretending to give
some of the ingredients of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice
President OF the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favo-ite
Prescription were extracted fror, the
following native roots: Golden Seal.
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means OF
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" was a cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante

THE FISHING CASE
NOT so BAD As IT MIGHT De
'housn Property Is Protected From
Tresspass, Owners Are Not
All Curmudoeons

It Is TO be hoped that the fishermen
of the state viii accept the final decis-
Ion OF the Supreme Court in the fish
case In the proper spirit. and that
tnere Will be no attempt at foolish
measures OF so-called retaliation, SAYS
the Leadville Herald-Democrat. We
see 1t stated that some sportsmen had.
declared that if the decision was
against the fishermen they would in
stitute other proceedings and drive tho
state fish commission out of business
All this would be extremely unwise,
because 1t would injure the fishermen
themselves and accomplish no good re-
suit.
The Supreme Court in the case prop
erly understood is not against the fish
ermen. 1t is the simple assertion on
the part of the court OF the rights OF
property and its protection against
tresspass. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that every owner of property
through which trout stream mean.
Dders is going to post dogs and senti-
nels SO as to keep fishermen away. 1t
doesn't imply that every ranchman in
the state is crusty old curmudgeon
who intends to play the dog in the
manger. But 1t does assert that when
Q fisherman is on private land indulg-
Ing in his favorite sport that he is
there as privilege and not as right.
II he attends strictly to his fishing and
has some regard for the property and
crops Of the rancher it is hardly likely
that one individual in a thousand will
make objection
The Pueblo Chieftain sums up the
situation thus:
III the fishermen had always been
reasonably and decently considerate OF
the rights of the land owners, it is
probable that this question would
never have been brought into the
courts. But where the fisherman
breaks down fences, leaves gates open,
turns stock into meadows. or tramps
through grain fields, 1t is not surpris-
ing that the ranchmen should seek
some remedy. and the fact is that
things had come to pass in some val
leys in this state, that it seemed to be
q question as to which has the greater
right on the farm, the owner or the
fisherman
The Herald Democrat would suggest
that in case any ranchman shows dis
position to be mean with the decent
sportsman that the case be reported to
the local Sportsmen's Association and
the name be posted SO as to give fair
warning in order that the churl be
given a wide berth
