DR.. PIERCE'S DISCOVERY.

Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that chemically pure glycerine Of
proper strength is . better solvent and
preservatiIe of the active medicinal prin-
oiples residing In most Of our indigenous
or native medicinal plants than 10 alcohol.
As its use is entirely unobjectionable,
while alcohol Is well known when used
even In small portions, for . protrActed
period, to do lasting injury to the human
system. especially in the case Of delicate
women and children, he decided to use
chemically pure glyoerine instead Of the
usually employed alcohol in the prepare
ton of his medicines. He found that the
Rlyoerine, besides being entirely harmless,
possesses intrinsic medicinal properties
Of great value. Its nutritive properties,
DIR. Pierce believes, far surpass those Of
cod-liver oil, emitting IL to favorable con-
alteration In all cases OF inoipisnt con-
sumption, especially when it IL combined
with the active medicinal principles ex-
traoted from Black CherrybArk, Queens
root, Stone root, Golden Seal r6ot and
Bloodroot, as in "Golden Medical Discov-
eryt" Besides its superior nutritive prop
critics, glycerine Is q very valuable demul-
cent and thereby greatly enhances the
remedial action Of all the foregoing roots
IN the cure of severe coughs, bronchial,
throat, lAryngeal and other kindred aheo-
tions Of the air-passAges and lungs. In all
wasting diseases" where there IL loss Of
flesh and gradual running down of the
system, the glyoerins certainly plays an
important part In lessening the breaking
down ana wasting Of tissue, and In pro-
noting assimilation and increase of bodily
weight. 1t is, In DR.. Pieros's estimation, .
powerful reoonstruotive agent In all cases
Of impaired vitality and especially valuable
when associated and combined with such
superior Alternatives and tonics as In
Golden Medical Discovery" Its wonder
full solvent properties also play an i'm
portant part in the cure Of gall stopss and
dry constipation. Glyoerins IL also one
Of the very best antiferments and as such
oounteracts the excessive fermentation
Of foods In the stomach, present In most
cases OF indigestion or dyspepsia. Thus
the pain, belching Of noxious gas, bloating
and other disagreeable symptoms are over
come aud the Stone root, Golden Seal root
Bloodroot and other Ingredients Of "Golden
Medical Discovery are greatly assisted In
their action In completing q cure. As viii
be seen from the writings Of Drs. Bartho-
low, King, Scuddsr, Coe, Ellingwood and
other high authorities, these agents can
confidently be depended upon for the most
positive, curative cotton In all atomic, oI
weak, states Of the stomach, accompanied
with distressing indigestion or dyspepsia

tric catarrh (catsrrh of stomach) and head

the gall duct and jaundice, it is, of especial
utility. Constipation, dependent upon diff

by the remedy. Chronic catarTh of the in

It may be given as a remedy for intermittent

Coz, NJ. D., of New York, we extract the
following: uHydrastis Golden Seal) ex-

ment cannot be mistaken. Upon the liver
it acts with equal certainty and efficacy.

their work by aiding and encouraging the

THEY STAND ALONE.

This striking departure Of DR.. Pierce from
the usual course pursued by the manufac-
turers Of proprietary medicines, at once
takes his medicines out Of the class gener-
ally known as rpatent" or secret medicines,
neither Of which term is at all applicable to
them, as their formula now appears on the
wrapper of every bottle leaving the great
laboratory at Buffalo, N Y. 1t places them
in a class all BY Themselves. Neither Of
them contains any alcohol, which fact alone
should cause them to be classed all by them
selves aud as entirely harmless vegetable
extracts, made and preserved by the use Of
giyeerine and not with the usually employed
strong alcohol, which works so much injury,
especially in cases where treatment even
though Of the best, must be continued for
considerable periods Of time, in order to
make the cure permanent.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce found that
chemically pure glycerine of proper
strength, was far better than alcohol both
for extracting and preserving the medicinal
principles residing in our indigenous, or ma
tive, medicinal plants, such as he employs
exclusively in manufacturing his medicines.
Some Of these medicinal roots have, since
DR.. Pierce 6rst commenced to use them, ad-
vanced so in price, that they may be chti-
waited with great profit by our farmers. This
Is especially true of Golden Seal root which
enters into both the Doctors "Golden Med

" TAKING TINE BY THE
FORELOCK."

All observing people must have noticed
q growing sentiment in this country in ia
vor Of using only put up foods and msdi-
ciues OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. It is but
natural that one should have some interest
in the composition Of that which he is ex-
pected to swallow, whether it be food, drink
or medicine. This sentiment has resulted
in the introduction in the Legislatures of
many Of the States, as also in the Congress
Of the United States, of bills providing for
the publication Of formula or ingredients on
wrappers and labels Of medicines and foods
put up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition on
the part of the public generally, and salts
6ed that the fullest publicity can only add
to the well-earned reputation of his proprie-
tary medicines, DR.. R, V. Pierce, of Buffalo,

ALL RIGHTS PROTECTED.

The exact working formula for making
DR.. Pierce's medicines without the use of
drop of alcohol and preserving them unim-
paired in any climate for any length of time,
cost DR.. Pierce and his assistant chemists
and pharmacists a tedious course of study
and experiments, extending over several
years. With the use of chemically pure
glycerine of just the right strength, and
with laboratory apparatus and appliances
specially invented and designed to carry on
the delicate processes employed, DR.. Pierce
finally found that all the medicinal prin-
ciples residing in the several native, medi-
einal roots could be more perfectly ex-
tTacted and better preserved from fermenta-
ton than IL alcohol was employed. Besides
the glyeerine, Of ITSELF possesses the prop
erty of greatly enhancing the efficacy Of
the several medicinal agents employed,
whereas alcohol is well known to be OBJ
jeetionable in any medicine to be en-
ployed in chronic or lingering diseases,

tinued over a considerable period of time
in order to make the cure complete and
