serving the medicinal principles residing
in our indigenous, or native, medicinal
plants, such as he employs exclusively
in manufacturing his medicines.
Some of these medicinal roots have,
since DR.. Pierce first commenced to use
them, advanced so in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This is especially true Of
Golden Seal root, which enters into
both the Doctors vGolden Medical
Discovery" and his vFavorite Prescrip-
tion." It now brings upward of 81 80

from Is to 20 cents a pound. Many
tons of this most valuable root are
annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's
Laboratory.
From v Organic Medicines, y by Grover
Coe, M. D., of New York, we extract
the following concerning Hydrastis
Golden Seal root) which enters largely,
as we have already stated, into the COM
position of both Golden Medical Dis
covery" and vFayorite Prescription !"
DIR. Coe says: vHydrastis exercises an
especial influence over mucous sur

manifest that the indications for it's en-
ployment cannot be mistaken. Hence

Doctor Coe continues: vHydrastis

complaint is complicated with hepatic

After reading the foregoing extracts

All observing people must have
noticed growing sentiment IN this
country in favor of using only put-up
foods and medicines of known COM
position. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the COM
position of that which he is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink
or medicine. This sentiment has re-
suited in the introduction in the legls-
latures of many of the States, as also
in the Congress of the United States,
bills providing for the publication OF
formula or ingredients on wrappers
and labels of medicines and foods put
up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public generally,
and satisfied that the fullest publicity
can only add to the well-earned repu-
tation of his proprietary medicines,
DR.. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
has "taken time by the forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast, and
on each bottle wrapper, full and COM
plete list of all the ingredients entering
into his medicines. vGolden Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigor-
ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and
heart regulator; also of his "Favorite
Prescription for weak, over-worked, ,
broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in
valid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement
on the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by
showing: exactly what his well-known
medicines are composed of, completely
disarmed all harping critics who have
heretofore unjustly attacked them. A
1ot hoo 1n1
from the standard medical authorities
OF all, the several schools of practice,
showing the strongest endorsements by
ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce''s medicines and recommending
these ingredients for the cure of the
diseases for which DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines are advised. A copy of this little
booklet is mailed free to any one desiring
to learn more concerning the valuable,
native, medicinal plants which enter
into. the composition of DR.. Pierce's S
medicines. "A request, by postal card
or letter, addressed to DR.. r. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y, will bring this little
booklet by return post. 1t tells exactly
what ingredients are used in the max
ing of DR.. Pierce's famous medicines.
This striking departure of DR.. Pierce
from the usual course pursued by the
manufacturers of proprietary medi-
cines, at once takes his medicines out
of the class generally known as

Senate VS.. House,

Senator Benjamin Tillman, he
Of the pitchfork, in a recently
published article, defends the
senate from the charge, which is
also the popular view, that that
body is more trust controlled and
has among it's mem bers more
dishonest men than the house of
representatives.
The latter is generally sup
posed to be closer to the people,
declares the South Carolinan, but
it really represents: the great'cor-
pora tions more than it does the
masses of the people. :
-.This view will have something
of a novelty for ffhe masses Of the
people, referred to, but Tinman
uses strong arguments and
makes out a PLAUSIBLE case.
1t has becomespepular to take
d fling at the senate whenever a
paragrapher is short Of material,
and Tillman declares that this is
encouraged by the trusts, who
wish to bring the upper chamber
into discredit. Says the senator:
sslt is a common thing to see
! the senate held up to obloquy
and contempt as being a subser-.
Went instrument to trusts and.
monopolies. One reads in the
newspapers and magazines the
most bitter denunciation of the
senate as a body because Of it's
supposed subservience to the
money interests.
