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 oovery. that in attempting to quote from the various works of Matera Mediea one hardly kn6ws where to commence. since they are so vouminous that only the briefest and most imperfect reference can be presented in a 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 it's compo- sition. Besides this most valuable ingre- dient. il contains Elyeeric extracts of Stone root Queens root, Black Cherry bark. Bloodroot and Mandrake root.

 But to return to the Golden Medical Discovery" it may be said that It's cur ative properties are not wholly depend- ent upon Golden Seal valuable as 1t is as other equally potent ingredients add greatly to it's value and in fact are not less important than the Hydrastis or Golden Seal.
