published In some journals OF more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousing needed
attention TO this subject. u has, in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dients complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some { me ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, "took time by the forelock,"' as IL
were. and published broadcast all the
cines. are composed. Thus he has com.
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
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 ths 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 objec-

bronchial, throat and lung affections,
but also OF chronic catarrh in all its
