when he ordered the case from the

Because, your honor, retorted the

tanBot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them 20
their patients. They know what they
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities
The further fact that neither DIR.

great stomach tonic, liver invigorator,

Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
alive OF the medicinal principles resid-
Ing in our Indigenous, or native. medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol and, further
more, that II possesses valuable medicinal
properties OF its own, being demulcent,
nutritive antiseptic, and most efficient
entiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from
glance Mt the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position OF DR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement
