UNICORN ROOT
DR.. John Fyfe, Editor of the De-
partment of Therapeutics in the
Eclectic Review, says of Unicorn
root (Helonias Dioica), one of the
chief ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription:
"a remedy which invariably acts
as uterine invigorator and always
favors condition which makes for
normal activity of the entire repro
ductive system, cannot fail to be OF
great usefulness and of the utmost
importance to the general practi-
toner of medicine In Helonias we
have a medicament which more fully
answers the above purposes THAN
ANY OTHER DRUG WITH
WHICH | AM ACQUAINTED.
In the treatment OF diseases peculiar
to women it is seldom that case is
seen which does not present some
indication for this remedial agent
If the above symptoms, or any
considerable number of them, are
present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, one of the leading
and predominating ingredients of
which is Unicorn root, or HeIonias.
We invite all those who would
like to read more extended extracts
from eminent medical authorities
concerning ingredients of "Favorite
Prescription" to send for a booklet
recently compiled by DR.. Pierce and
published by the Worlds Dispen-
sary Medical Association of Buffalo,
N. Y, which will be sent FREE to
any one requesting a copy of the
same by postal card or letter.
