A NEW DEPARTURE.
'Taking Time by the Forelocfs.'

All observing people must have
noticed a growing sentiment in this
country in favor OF using only put
up foods and medicines of known
composition. 1t is but natural that
one should have some interest in
the composition of that which he is
expected to swallow, whether it be

ton in the legislatures OF many OF
the states, as also in the Congress
of the United States, bills providing
for the publication OF formula or in
gradients on wrappers and labels OF
medicines and foods put up for gen

orally and satisfied that the fullest
publicity can only add to the we'll

medicines, DR.. II. v Pierce of But

tor, stomach tonic, blood purifier
and heart regulator; also of his "Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, over

ment on the part OF Dr. Pierce has,
by showing exactly what his we'll
known medicines are composed Of,

critics who have heretofore unjustiy
attacked them. A little pamphlet

ingredients which enter into Doctor
Picrce'S medicines and recommend

booklet BY return post. 1t tells cN-

This striking departure OF DR..
Pierce from the usual course pur-
sued by the manufacturers OF pro-
prietary medicines at once takes his
medicines out OF the class generally
known as patent or secret medi-
cines. neither OF which term is at all
