A VindicatiOn for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies' Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of which
DR.. r. ". Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies' Home Journal $500, Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DIR. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
FERROUS ingredients whatever; that Mr..
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some of the ingredients of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means or
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the ia
vorite Prescription" was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women. such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-version, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose ills had been cured by this

being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
It's Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re-
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" did not contain either alcohol.

BarabOO POstOffice
Historical Sketch.

The postofice is the chief object
and the postmaster the central
parsonage in every community.
This was especially true in the
old days before free delivery had
found it's way to village and farm
and before cheap literature and
rapid transportation had become a
necessity. The older ones in Bara-
boo can tell how gossip was discus
sed and how stories were told by all
who assembled to obtain their mail
in the days that are past.
When the Pecks, Browns, Web
sters, Crawfords, Canfelds and
others came to Baraboo in the
early forties there was little time
to devote to writing letters to far
off eastern homes. Not only was
the postage at that time twenty
five cents, and quarters few, but
there were many things to be done,
so that a postofice was not among
the early requirements. The first
families to come to Baraboo were
Abe Wood and Wallace Rowan in
1889 but it was not until 1847 that
an office was established. Previous
to opening an Office in Baraboo all
mail for the hamlet was brought
from Prairie du Sac by some neigh
bor who happened to be over there
on some errand, and it is unneces-
sary to state that irregularity was
the chief characteristic.
Naming the Office.

money to the county to pur-
chase the county seat and

and faithful service. I understand
that the home where we lived and
where the Office was, midway be-
tween Under the Hill and the Court
House district, is still standing.
There it was she kept her own
house and the postofice.
In 1849 our family removed to
Baraboo from Milwaukee, which
had been our home for two years.
Prior TO that we had been a year in
Indiana. The home at Holly, N. Y,
near Rochester, had been broken
up to make vain search for my fa-
theirs better health. He opened a
law Office in Baraboo and was for
time Justice of the peace, but his
ailment grew upon him and on the
18th of September, 1851, at my
uncle's home in Milwaukee, where
he was interrupted in a journey, he
died. At that time there was my
mother and four children, the oldest
being Henry, who was Is. The
railroad from Milwaukee extended
as far as Waukesha. When my
mother got back to Baraboo, after
the funeral, she had little house
