UNICORN ROOT
(HsIonIas DIoIca).

The American Dispensstory prepared by
Professors KING and ScUDDER), says:
"Helonias, or Unicorn root, has been found
very beneficial in Dyspepsia, loss of Ape
ffte, and for the removal of worms. II is
more especially applicable in indigestion,
dyspepsia and 0tai-dSsfmflafioH, where the
| trouble is reflex from, or associated with,
wrongs of the female reproductive appara-
tus. Such digestive disturbances as depend
upon uterine and ovarian irritation, or upon
lack of uterine activity, in ehioroffe GHemid
thin, or whtsry poor blood, are benefited
by it. 1t is valuable in afoaY (sOedkness)
ofLhe generatfve organs" Prof. KING says,
shave found this plant to possess a de-
cidedly beneficial influence in cases Of
sexual lassitude in both sexes, the result
Of excuses, especially in those instances
where there are symptoms of gastric (stom.
ach) arrangement with impaired memory,
mental apathy, or indifference, and an en-
feebled condition of the general system,
with weakness or dull pain in the renal, or
Jumbo sacral (small of the back region.
In diseases of the reproductive organs Of
females, and especially Of the uterus, it is
a uterine tonic, and gradually removing
abnormal conditions while at the same time
it imparts tone and vigor to the reproduc-
tive organs. Hence, it is much used in
IeueoyYh9d, ameHo,vhed, dysmeHoyyhG6
and to remove the tendency to repeated
and successive NiScayvfageS. A particular
phase removed by it is the irritability and
dependency that often attends uterine
troubles. In painful menstruation it has
been found especially adapted to those
cases in which there is pelvic fullness, a
sensation as if the pelvic organs were dis
tended with blood, and the aching, bearing
down organs feel as II they 1OoHId fail out

cided. 1t is considered useful by some for
the relief of the vomfffNg Of pregnancy.
Helonias is a decided tonic to the urinary
tract"
DR.. JOHN FYFE, Editor of the Depart
ment of Therapeutics in THE ELEcTIc
REVIEW says of Unicorn root (HsloHidS
Dioied) one of the chief ingredients Of DR..
Pierce's Fsvorite Prescription
"A remedy which invariably acts as q
uterine invigorator and always favors a
condition which makes for normal activity
of the entire reproductive system, cannot
fail to be of great usefulness and Of the
utmost importance to the general practi.
toner of medicine. In Helonias we have
= medicament which more fully answers
the above purposes than any other drug

ment Of diseases peculiar TO women 1t is
seldom that case is seen which does not
present some indication for this remedial
agent"
He continues: uHelonias (Unicorn root
through its tonic and Alternative influence
acts equally well in amenorThGa (sup-
pressed menstruation) and in menoTrhagia
flooding or profuse menstTuation) II is
especially called for in cases of smenor-
Thea which are accompanied by general
debility and an atomic weak condition Of
the digestive organs as IL increases the
a. petite and promotes digestion and assim-
ilation. When there is atOny lweakness)
of the generative organs and a tendency to
miscarriage its tonic influence upon the
sexual system will aid much in bringing
about a normal condition of the structures
involved In sterility and impotence its
curative power is unmistakable, and within
/ a reasonable time Il will restore TO health
full activity all cases not dependent upon or
ganic wrongs, and in leucorrh1a and in
defective menstruation it is a frequently
needed remedy"
