Do You Want to Know
What You Swallo " ?

There is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor OF MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
sition of that which he or she ID expected
to swallow, whether 1t be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add TO
the well-earned reputation of his medi-
cines, Dr. R. V. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. T.,
has rtaken time by the forelock," az IT
were. and Is publishing broadcast ilst
OF all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the HGolden Medical
Discovery" the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part Of DR.. Pierce, has. by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed Of. completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un.
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
DIR. Pierce's medicines. A copy Of this
little book is mailed free to any one de-
string to learn more concerning the valu-
able native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition OF DIR. Pierce's med
icines. Address DR.. Pierce as above.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny. sus-
ar-coated anti-bilious granules. They reg
ulate and invigorate Stomach. Liver and
Bowels Do not beget the pill habit" but
