bf the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published In some journals OF more or,
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject. 1t has, in
considerable measure, resulted In the
most Intelligent people avoiding, such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected Of containing the INJURIOUS ingre-
dents complained OF. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, OF Buffalo,
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cineS are composed. Thus he has com

urged against his medicines, because they
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming 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.

craving for stimulants, Or. Pierce en-
