WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED
ny A WELL. KNOWN ARTICLE.

30 much has been written by tn
standard medical authorities, of all tn
several schools OF practice, in prais
Of the native, or American, medicine
plants which enter into the compost
tion OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
-covery, that in attempting to quot.
from the various works on Matcrte
Medica one hardly knows where X
commence, since they are so volumin
Gus that only the briefest and most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in 9
short article like this. s... .,.
~ Briefly then let US say that The
~Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root Of which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable Ingredient, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an emin-
ent practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor of Materia Medica in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: vt is
the most natural of stimulants to the
!, normal functions of digestion. Its in
huence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) ulceration.n
Many other authorities as we'll rs DR.,
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
SeaD, as a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases OF the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, M. D., author
OF the American Dispensatory; Prof.
J. M. Scudder, M. D., In his Specific
Medication" DIR. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, M. d.. of New York, Ahis aOr-
ganic Medicines" DR.. BarthdS low of JEFF
feapn Med. College and scor( p OF other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
OF bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
II most highly, In those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is .stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
says, wIt is most important remedy in
many disorders of the womb" Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown"
women.
But to return to the UGolden Medical
Discovery it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
~ other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
: In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important q part
In effecting the phenomenal cures of
@Golden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these Ingredients
have the endorsement of prominent
practitioners of all schools of medicine
for the cure of diseases Of the bronchia,
ahroat and lungs.
