HABIT-FORNING MEDICINES AND DRUGS.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the So-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some Journals of more or
Jess influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousng needed
attention to this subject. 1t has. in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most Intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
n. Y, stock time by the forelock," as it
were. and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
] cines are composed. Thus he has COM
p!etely forestalled all harping critics and
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habitt-forming drugs. Neither do
lagents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots Of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tiOnable from it's tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, DR.. Pierce en-
plOys chemically pure, triple refined
giycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy i'm many cases of chronic disease,
being superior demulcent, anti-septic,
antl-terment and supporting nutritive.
It enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark and Bloodroot, contained in "Golden
Medical Discovery" in all bronchial,
throat and Lung affections attended with
severe coughs AS will be seen from the
writings OF the eminent Drs. Grover Coe
of New York; Bartholow, of Jefferson
Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of Gin
cinnati; Ellingwood, of Chicago; Hale,
of Chicago, and others, who stand as
leaders in their several schools of prac-
tlce. The foregoing agents are the Uery
best ingredients that DR.. Pierce could
have chosen to make up his famous
"Discovery" for the cure of not only
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
but also of chronic catarrh in all it's
various forms in whatever part of the
system located.
BY reading the writings of these emf
booklet recently compiled by DR.. r. ".
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, which will be
sent tFee, on request by postal card or
letter, addressed to him, as above, the
reader will find that all the several
native, MEDICINAL roots entering into the
oOAoOh NlCAiCJl hlSCOVcIy, DIS dlSO Ill W
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for
wOman's weaknesses and peculiar all
ments, are very highly recommended and
praised as cures for diseases for which
DR.. Pierce advises these famous medi-
cineS OF his preparation.
DR.. Ellingwood says of Golden Seal
root, which is an important ingredient
in both g Favorite Prescription" and
"Golden Medical Discovery" cit is an
important remedy in disorders of the

conditions, especially in fabby, muscular
relaxation and general enfeebement, it
is useful" Prof. Scudder, late of Gin
cinnati, says of Golden Seal root, in rela-
tion to it's general effect on the system,
there Is no medicine IN use about
achich there Is such general u,,aa,imtty of
opinion. 1t is, otetuersally regarded as
the tonic, useful in all debilitated states. .
