Joshua Sears, one of Boston's old

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle Of DR.. Pierces world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Budslo, n. Y, has priRted
upon its. wrapper all the ingredients
entering into It's composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines IN class al by themselves. They
cannot be classcd with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many uuprcjudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them 10
their patients They know what they
are composed OF. ard that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further feet that neither Dr.

Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
'he ,hemically pure glycerine, OF proper
.trsngth, is better solvent and preserv-
atiye 1f :he medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties OF its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
antifernient.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as viii be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe tho
above, non-secret medicines largely, hnt
the most intelligent people employ I'll Ia
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent. or secret me;icines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position Of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement t
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
