Buried deep IN our American forests
many years ago, Dr. Pierce found :
beautiful, blooming plant the root o
which possesses wonderfully ethcaclou:
properties as stomach and genera
tonic, also as an alternative or blooc
especial affinity for all mucous surfaces
upon which it exertS most salutary.
soothing and healing influence
This sturdy little plant is known to
botanists as Hvdrastis Canadensis, but
has several local English names, being
generally known as Golden Seal Dr.
Pierce found the root OF this common
forest plant to possess medicinal pr1n-
ciples Of great potency, especially when
combined, in just the right proportions,
With Queens root, Black Cherrvbark,
Stone root, Mandrake root and Blood
root, the properties OF each being eS-
tracted and preserved in chemically
pure slycerine OF proper strength
This compound DR.. Pierce named
his vGolden Medical Discovery" IN
honor OF the sturdy little Golden Seal
plant. So little used was the root OF
this plant by the medical profession at
that time, tina. it could be purchased
in the open markets for from fifteen
cents to twenty cents pound The
use of many tons OF this root every
year in DR.. Pierce's two leading medi-
cineS-for it enters into both " Golden
Medical Discovery" and also into DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription as one OF
their most Important jngredIents-has
caused the price Of the root TO advance
until to-day it commands upwards OF
q dollar and half 4 pound
DR. P1ERcE'S FAITH
DR.. Pierce believes that in our native
forests are to be found an abundance of
most valuable medicinal plants for the
cure OF many distressing and most
fatal naladies- If we would only seek
them out, test them and learn how
and for what diseases to use them.
Furthermore, he believes that the veg
etable kingdom is the one to resort to
for the most harmless remedial agents.
They act most kindly upon the hui
man system and are eliminated or car
RED out OF the body by the natural
functions without injury, even in cases
where It IS necessary to make protracted
use OF them in order to experience per-
manent cures Dr. Pierce's medicines
being purely vegetable, are perfectly
harmless. In other words, while they
are potent to cure, being purely vege-
table in composition and containing no
alcohol, they leave no bad effects be-
hind This is not generally true when
mineral medicines and those containing
large percentages OF alcohol are taken
into the system and their use protracted
over considerable periods OF time
Many years ago. Dr.. Pierce discov-
cred that chemically pure glvcerine, OF
proper strength. is !. better solvent and
preservative Of the medicinal principles
residing in our indigenous, or native,
medicinal plants than is alcohol. and,
furthermore, that it possesses intrinsic
medicinal properties OF its own, being
demulcent, nutritive, antiSeptic ind q
most efficient anti-Ierment.
