Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for t
distressing ailments peculiar to WON
No other medicines sold through
druggists for domestic use can show
any such professional endorsement.
DR.. Pierce's above mentioned rene
dies are non-alcoholic and non-se-
cret, all their ingredients being print
ed ON each bottle wrapper. They oc-
cupy unique position and are IN A
CLASS ALL BY THEMSELVES.
They are neither secret nor patent
medicines. They are powerful to
cure but safe to use in any condition
of the system, even for the most del
icate women and children.
Pure, triple-refned glycerine,
which is used instead of alcohol both
for extracting and preserving the &C
tive medicinal principles from the
roots of the several American forest
plants entering into Doctor Pierce's
medicines, is much superior to alco-
hol for these purposes, and is entire
ly free from the Objectionable feat
ures inherent in alcohol, inasmuch
as it produces only salutary infiu-
ences upon the system, while alco-
hol, even in moderate portions, il
long continued, as in the treatment
of obstinate ailments, is very injuri-
Gus and often 'begets craving for
stimulants. Furthermore, glycerine
itself is most valuable curative
agent instead of being a harmful
habit-forming agent like alcohol. Its
nutritive properties, DIR. Pierce and
many others eminent in the profess
sion believe, far surpass those of cod
liver oil, emitting it to favorable con-
Aderation as remedy i'll all cases of
incipient consumption, especially
when it is combined with the active
medicinal principles extracted from
Black Cherrybark, Queens root,
Stone root, Golden Seal root and
Bloodroot, as in Golden Medical
Discovery"
Besides its superior nutritive prop
critics, glycerine is a very valuable
demulcent and thereby greatly en-
hances the remedial action of all the
foregoing roots in the cure of severe
coughs, bronchial, throat, laryngeal
and other kindred affections of the
air-passages and lungs. In all vast
ing Diseases where there is loss OF
flesh and gradual running down" of
the system, the glycerine certainly
plays an important part in lessening
the breaking down and wasting OF
flesh, and in promoting assimilation
and increase of bodily strength and
weight. 1t is powerful reconstruc-
tive agent in all cases of impaired Vi
tally and especially valuable when
associated and combined with such
superior alternatives and tones as in
Golden Medical Discovery" and
"Favorite Prescription" It's Won
derful solvent properties also play an
important part in the cure of gall
stones and severe constipation.
Glycerine is also one of the very
best anti-ferments and as such coun-
teracts the excessive fermentation of
foods in the stomach present in
most cases of Indigestion or dyspep-
sia Thus the pain, belching of nox-
ious gas, bloating and other dis
agreeable symptoms are overcome
and the Stone root, Golden Seal
root, Bloodroot and other ingredi-
ents of Golden Medical Discovery"
are greatly assisted in their action
in completing cure.
AS will be seen from the writings
of Drs. Bartholow, King, Scudder,
Hale, Wood, Hare, Johnson, Coe,
Ellingwood and other high authori-
ties, as contained in the little book
mentioned below, these agents can
confidently be depended upon for the
most positive curative action in all
atomic, or weak, states of the ston-
ach, accompanied with distressing
indigestion or dyspepsia and kindred
