Are driven pitilessly on,
While wind and waters fret
Until at last they're wrecked upon

No matter how the helmsman strives
To keep the open way,
A storm will drive him from the course
He vainly tries to lay,
And ere the voyage Is well begun.
With sails but newly set,
He'll drift, castaway, upon

Are dashed upon the reefs
And shattered are the early hopes,
Ideals and fond beliefs.
No sailor in the stress Of time
Has had the fortune yet
To reach harbor safe beyond

A verdict has been rendered in favor
of the plaintiff in the libel suit brought
against the Ladies' Home Journal (pub-
Iished by the Curtis Publishing CO.. by
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, OF which DR.. r. V. Pierce
is President. The suit was for $2OO, 600
damages, and was brought by Doctor
Pierce against the Curtis Publishing
Company, for making false statements
about one of his standard family
medicines known as Or. Perce's Ba-
porits Prescription. In the May num-
Der OF the Ladies' Home Journal Q9O4) },
Mr.. Edward Box, the editor, stated
that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
contained alcohol and other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had in
the action alleged that the defendant
maliciously published this article con-
tanning such false and defamatory mat
ter. DR.. Pierce further claimed that no
alcohol is, or ever was, contained in his
vFavorite Prescription; that said med
icine was vegetable preparation and
contained no deleterious ingredients
whatever; that Mr.. Bok's statement,
pretending to give some of the ingredi-
ents of said medicine, was wholly and
absolutely false; and that by means of
the publication of the article DR.. Pierce
was injured in reputation and good
name and credit as manufacturer,
to the extent of 5000, 900, for which
amount of damages he brought suit.
During the trial, the Vice-President of
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation stated, that the ingredients of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription were
extracted from the following native
roots: Golden Seal, Blue Cohosh,
Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh and Uni
corn, by means of pure glycerine. He
was asked how he knew, as a physician
and experienced medical man, that the
"Favorite Prescription was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such as
leucorrhna, amenorrhma, dysmenor-
rhpa, ante-version, retro-version, and
he stated that he knew such was the
fact because of his professional ex-
perience and the maAy thousands of
women whose ills had been cured by
this uPrescription. This experience
was corroborated by the standard Med
ical Authorities of the several schools
of medicine endorsing the various in
gradients in the strongest terms. The
Vice-President, being asked to give au-
thorities as to the value of the above
roots, read from the standard works,
such as the United States Dispensatory;
The American Dispensatory; Organic
Medicines, by Grover Coe, M. D.; Ma
terra Medica and Therapeutics, by Pro-
fessor Finley Ellingwood of the Bennett
Medical College of Chicago.
From such authorities and his own
professional experience he showed how
the ingredients of this uPrescrption"
acted upon the female system, impart-
ing increased power to the hearts
action, and tone to the nervous system,
and detailed its remedial influence in
disorders of the female organs.
The retraction printed by the Curtis
Publishing Company ttUo months after
the libelouS statement appeared stated
definitely that analyses had been made
at their request and that the VIA
vorite Prescription" did not contain
either alcohol, opium or digitalis. But
the business of DIR. Pierce was injured
