HABIT-FORMING MEDICINES AND DRUGS.

Whatever may be the fact as TO many
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published ia some journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject. IL has, in
considerable measure, resulted IN the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and med as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo,
Y. Y, took time by the forelOck," as 10
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi
cineS are composed Thus he has COM
pletely foreStalled all harpng critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermOro. from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habitforming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable. extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths OF our American forests and Of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead Of alcohol, which even In small
portions long continued, as In obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly obiec-
tonable from its tendency to produce
craving for stimuantS DR.. Pierce en-
pl0yS chemically pure, triple refined
glycerine. which Of itself is valuable
remedy in many cases Of chronic disease,
being q superior demulcent, anti-sepiic,
anti-ferment and supporting nutritive.
