OF just the right proportion Of each Of
the roots Of several indigenous, or native,
medicinal plants, or rather OF the active,
medicinal principles slSlllfully extracted
therefrom BY the use Of chemically pure
glycerine of lust the right strength, CON
stitutes DR. Perce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion for the cure of weak, invalid, nerv-
Gus, crun down." over worked women.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, oi proper
strength Is far better solvent and pre-
servative OF the medicinal principles
found in our Indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants, than Is alcohol. Believing,
as he does that the use of alcohol, even
in small portions, If long continued,
works great harm to the human system,
he determined not to employ this COM
monty used agent in making his medi,
cines, but TO use pure, triple renned
glycerine instead. Now, glycerine is not
only perfectly harmless but possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, being a
most valuable demulcent, solvent, nu-
tritive, anti septic and anti ferment
Since they are nom alcoholic, DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines belong dU nv them
selUes They are neither patent nor
secret medicines. Their ingredients are
printed, in plain English, on each bottle
The epdct proportion Of the several
ingredients used in these medicines, as
we'll as the working formula and peculiar
processes, apparatus and appliances en-
ployed in their manufacture are with
held from publicity that Or. Plerce's
proprietary rights may not be infringed
and trespassed upon by unprincipled
imitators and those who may be piratic-
ally inclined.
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
With Dr. Pierces medicines you don't
have to pin your faith wholly to what
the manufacturer says of their curative
potency as with other medicines. Mer-
cenary motives the greed for money
getting, it is feared, often lead men, and
women too, to put forth unreasonable
claims for their loudly praised but
many times nearly worthless compounds.
Especially should>th afflicted beware of
the oCheap-John, free, give away, "tr ial
bottle" dodge. 1t don't pay to trifle with
ones health 1t should be regarded as
too sacred to be experimented with.
DR.. Pierce's medicines have a record
of nearly forty years of cures behind
them, embracing many hundreds of thou
sands of bad cases restored to health
and happiness.
THEY STAND ALONE
in having the professional endorsement
of scores OF eminent medical practitioners
and writers, OF all the several schools of
medical practice, who praise the curative
properties of the several ingredients
of which they are composed, away be-
yond all that the makers of these medi-
cines have ever claimed for them. These
are the more valuable because in every
case written without the author know
ing that he was praising articles entering
into these popular medicines, the matter
being composed for publication in var-
Gus medical journals and books designed
exclusively for professional reading and
instruction. The afflicted can, therefore,
rely upon such testimony as In every
way truthful and trustworthy.
