Likely to Revolutionize Pharmacy.
A HAPPY COMBINATION

OF just the right proportion of each of
the roots of several indigenous, or native,
medicinal plants, or rather of the active,
medicinal principles Skillfully extracted

Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is far better solvent and pre-
sentative of the medicinal princi piles
found in our indigenous, or native, medi.
einal plants, than is alcohol. Believing,
as he does, that the use of alcohol, even
in small portions. if long continued,
he determined not to employ this com
monty used agent in making his medi::
cines, but to use pure, triple refined
glycerine instead. Now, glycerine is not
only perfectly harmless but possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, being a
most valuable demulcent, solvent, nu-
tritive,, anti septic and anti ferment.
Family Medicines belong all by them
selues. They are neither patent nor
secret medicines. Their ingredients are
printed, in plain English, on each bottle
wrapper.
The erdct proportion of the several
ingredients used in these medicines, as
we'll as the working formula and peculiar
plOyed in their manufacture, are with
held from publicity that DR.. Pierces
proprietary rights may not be infringed
and trespassed upon by unprincipled
imitators and those who may be piratic-
ally inclined.
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
With DR.. Pierce's medicines you don't
have to pin your faith wholly to what
the manufacturer says of their curative
potency as with other medicines. Mer-
cenary motives, the greed for money
getting, it is feared, often lead men, and
women too, to put forth unreasonable
claims for their loudly praised but
many times nearly worthless compounds.
Especially should the afflicted beware of
the "Cheap-John, free, give away, "trial
bottle dodge. It don't pay to trife with
too sacred to be experimental with.
DR.. Pierce's medicines have record
OF nearly forty years of cures behind
them, embracing many hundreds of thou
sands of bad cases restored to health
and happiness.
THEY STAND ALONE
In having the professional endorsement
of scores Of eminent medical practitioners
and writer's, of all the several schools of
medical practice, who praise the curative
properties of the several ingredients
of which they are composed, away be-
yond all that the makers of these medi-
cines have ever claimed for them. These
are the more valuable because in every
case written without the author know
ing that he was praising articles entering
into these popular medicines, the matter
being composed for publication in vari-
Gus medical journals and books designed
exclusively for professional reading and
instruction. The afflicted can, therefore,
rely upon such testimony as in every
way truthful and trustworthy. '
.-. A LITTLE BOOK
has been compiled, made up of brief
extracts from many standard medical
works, giving, but only in part, some
few of the many good things written by
leading medical authorities concerning
the several native, medicinal roots that
enter into the composition of DR.. Pierce's
medicines. Any one sending, by postal
card or letter, to DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buff
