FAKE METHODS
AND THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFER
 THEREFRoM.

Sensible. intelligent people do not expect to obtain things of real value except Tor value received. They do not run after free distributions of fake medicines so lavishly given out for experimental trial Only cheap nostrums are exploited on the Gift Enterprise' trial bottle,' lottery or Cheap John Isan.
 Seriously considered health is pos session too precious and sacred to be experimented with in this careless man ner. Many have permanently lost their health. instead of receiving beneht, by the use of these free trial bottles sent out for experimental use.
 Is it not much better to pay fair price for good, honest medicine of known composition, every ingredient of which IS printed in plain English on it's bottle wrapper? The ingredients out of which Dr. Pferce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous liver invigorator, stomach tonic, heart regulator and bronchial throat and lung remedy, is compounded, are each endorsed and extoled by emin- ent practitioners and writers of all the several schools of medical practice. The same is true of Dr. Pieree's Favorite Pre- scription for weak nervous invalid wom- en.
 Golden Seal root, an indigenous or na- tive American root, of almost priceless value and costing over a dollar and a half a pound, forms one of the chief in- gredients of both Golden Medical Dis covery'' and "Favorite Prescription They are not made up of cheap, trashy ingredients to be given away, but of the choicest medicinal roots of such merit as to command high prices in the drug markets.
 Of Golden Seal root, Dr. Bartholow, an eminent authority in Materia Medca' says: Very valuable as stomachlc (stomach tonic) and in atomic dyspepsia (weak stomaeh) cures gastric catarrh (catarrh of stomach) and headaches ac- eompanying same" Partly because of the presence of the active principles of Col den Seal root in Golden Medical Dis covery" it Is that this popular medicine has proven so valuable in all cases of weak stomach and dyspepsia, especially of catarrhal diseases of the stomach, in- testines and bladder Dr. Bartholow does not fail to note that Golden Seal Les sens the secretion of albumen in chronic Brights Disease (of the kdneys) and diminishes mucus in catarrh of the blad- der" "Golden Medical Discovery" does the same and even more effectively than Golden Seal alone, because other ingred- ients in the former also act favorably upon the kidneys and bladder. This is especially true of Stone root, which en- ters into the composition of the Golden Medical Discovery" The American Dis pensatory of Professors King and Scud- der, says of this valuable ingredient: Tn diseases of the stomach and intestines, improves appetite; promotes flow of gas tr1c fluid produces tonic effect upon or gans involved, a good remedy in indiges- ton, dyspepsia. chronic gastrtis Qnfiam- nation of stomach), increasing the secre- ton from kidneys and skin" In Specific Medication" Prof. Scudder says of Stone root: "It also exerts a favorable influ- ence upon the digestive processes, i'm proving the appetite, facilitating diges- ton and acting as general tonic. It passes off through the kidneys and, ex- erts tonic influence upon the entire extent of the urinary tract I regard it as one of the most direct and valuable agents of the Materia Medica, and one that will give satisfaction to whoever employs it.
 From the above extracts it can readily be understood why Golden Medical Dis covery" cures not only weak stomach, dyspepsia and kindred ailments of the stomach and bowels, but also diseases of the kidneys and bladder as well.
 Four of the prominent ingredients of Dr. Pierces Discovery are recommend ed by many standard medical authori- ties for the cure of bronchitis, laryngtis and chronic coughs, as well as for other maladies; these are Golden Seal root. Queens root, Black Cherry-bark and Stone root The chemically pure glycerine used in making and preserving the "Gol- den Medical Discovery" is also a valu- able adjunct in all coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections as it is very soothing demulcent and enhances the action of the other ingredients On the whole. it must be acknowledged that Golden Medical Discovery is most happy combination of the choicest in- gredients and Is par excellence the most efficient remedy for not only weak stom- ach, dyspepsia or indigestion, torpid liver kidney and bladder diseases, but also for all chronic or lingering bronchial throat and lung affections All this is borne out by the leading authorities of all the various schools of medical prac- tice.
