A Vindication for Dr.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court Of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies' Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
lishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of which
DR.. R. v. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number Of the
Ladies Home Journal $500, Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients. and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tained in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terfous ingredients whatever: that Mr..
Boks statement, pretending to give
some OF the ingredients of said medi.
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice.
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means Of
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" was a cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante

that he knew such was the fact be-
cause of his professional experience
