WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED
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 compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to quote
from the various works on Mateyia
Medica one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so volumin-
GUS that only the briefest and most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Briefly then let us say that the
WGolden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an emin-
emit practitioner of Chicago and Profess
eor of Mdteria Medica in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: v1t is
the most natural of stimulants to the
normal functions of digestion. Its in
fiuence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis Inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) liberation"
Many other authorities as we'll as DR..
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
SeaI, as q remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of she nasal passages, 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. M. Scudder, M. D., in his Specific
Medication" DR.. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, NJ. D., of New York, in his uOr-
ganic Medicines" DIR. Bartholow of JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in
festival weakness, torpor and liberation
of bowels. DIR. Ellingwood recommends
1t most highly, Vim those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
says, ut is most important remedy in
ulSoTucTS vi bIlG WOluU.'
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown"
women.
But to return to the wGolden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
: In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root. Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important a part
In effecting the phenomenal cures of
wGolden Medical Discovery" 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,
