The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DIR. Pierces world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DIR. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines In class all bp themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. the
great stomach tonic. liver invigorato tor,
heart regulator and blood purifier. nor his
UFavorite Prescription for weak, over
worked. broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to place all by themselves.
Many years ago. DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerne. Of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
alive OF the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native. medi-
cinal plants than Is alcohol: and, further.
more, that ii possesses valua bic medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic and most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above. non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think OF susing
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the com
position OF DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind OF an endorsement
from leading medical writer's Of the
several schools OF practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation is the cause OF
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One "Pelletn is gentle
laxative. and two mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing is wjust as
good" Easy to take as candy.

Peach Loss Is so Per Cent.

Atlanta Ga, March 21.-Reports re.
ceived from many of the peach-growine
sections of the state indicate a loss OF
80 per cent from the cold of Monday
and Tuesday nights. Commissioner OF
Agriculture Hudson stated today that
he believed the damage would reach
40 per cent at the lowest estimate. but
a week or ten days will be required to
determine with any accuracy the in
jury that has been done. A so per
cent damage TO the crop would mean
a probable loss of two million dollars
to Georgia growers.
