So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, Of all the
several schools of practice, in praise
Of the native, or American medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
ton Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that In attempting to quote
from the various works on Wdter,a
Medtca one hardly knows where TO
commence, since they are 80 volumin-
GUS that only the briefest and most inn
perfect reference can be presented in q
short article like this.
Briefly then let us say that the
Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable Ingredient, it con-
tains gyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root
Finley Elingwood, M. D., an emin-
ent practitioner Of Chicago and Profess
sor Of Mutertd Wcd,ca in the Bennett
Medical College Of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says OF Golden Seal root ut is
the most natural Of stimulants to the
normal functions Of digestion. Its in
fluence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation Of stomach) and
gastric (stomach( liberation"
Many other authorities as well as DR..
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), as remedy for catarrhal dis
eases OF the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof John King, NJ. D., author
OF the American Dispensatory; Prof
J. NJ. Scudder, VI. D., In his Specific
Medication; Dr.. Hale OF the Hahne.
mann Med. COLLEGE Of Chicago; Grover
Coe, M. D., OF New York, in his "Or'
ganic Medicines, DR.. Bartholow OF JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores OF Other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases OF stomach, liver and in
festival weakness, torpor and liberation
OF bowels. DR., FltingwOod recommends
it most highly, I'm those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when The entire apparatus
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it mos'
highly in the many weaknesses and de
engagements peculiar to women anC
says, at is a most important remedy il
many disorders OF the womb" Colder
Seal root (Hydraets), is an importan
ingredient OF Or. perce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown
women.
But to return to the Golden Medica
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties arc not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as il is
