A Most Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. 1t also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being a valuable demulcent, nutritiye,
antiseptic and antiferment. 1t adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone
root and Queens root, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery" in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents are recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away OF flesh, loss of appetite, with weak
stomach, as in the early stages of con-
sumption, there can be no doubt that gly.
cerine acts as a valuable nutritiYe and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
of the whole system. Of course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, Obsti-
nate, hang-On, chronic coughs, bronchial
and laryngeal troubles, and chronic sore
throat with hoarSeneSs. In acute coughs
it is not so effective. 1t is in the lingering
hang-on coughs, or those of long standing,
even when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvellous cures.
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly-
cerine:
ain dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose.
Holding fixed quantity of the peroxide OK
hydrogen in solution. it is one Of the best
manufactured products of the present time in
its action upon enfeebled. disordered stom-
achs, especially if there is liberation or ca
tarThal gastritiS Catarrhal Inflammation OF
