GIVE NATURE A CHANCE

The strongest minds have gotten their
Inspiration direct from Nature Nature
Is the great teacher of mankind. We
can look to Nature for all our needs. In
the recent Russo-J apanese war the sur
geons OF the Japanese navy and army
discovered that wounds would heal more
rapidly and with better success If left to
Nature. They washed the wounds with
water which had been boiled and thus
sterilzed - then bandaged the wounds
with clean linen-nO powerful drugs or
antiseptics wereused in their first aid to
the injured. Such methods resulted IN
the loss of only 81 out OF 662 men treated
in a naval hospital for their wounds. 1t
il only from lack of observing Natures
laws that most of us suffer at one time
ar another from Indigestion. impure
blood and a generally rundown system.
our remedy lies in Natures laboratory
deep in the fragrant woods-where are
many American plants, the roots OF
which when properly treated Will sup
ply health-giving tonic.
Many years ago physician who had
an extensive practice among the afflicted
made a striking departure from the usual
methods of his cOnfreres in medicine-he
went straight to Nature for the cure OF
those stomach disorders which resulted
so often in an an@mic CONDITION, or I'M
pure blood, less of appetite, pale or
pimply skin, feeling OF lassitude and
weakness. He found that the bark OF
the Black Cherry-tree, the root OF the
Mandrake, Stone root, Queens root,
Bloodroot and Golden Seal root, made
into a scientific, non-alcoholic extract by
the use of glycerine, made the best altera-
tive and tonic. The refreshing influence
of this extract is at once apparent in the
recovered strength of the patlent-the
vital fires of the body burn brighter and
their increased activity consumes the
| tissue rubbish which otherwise may
poison the system. This Alternative and
| tonic extract has been found to stand
alone as a safe, invigorating tonic, as 1t
does not depend on alcohol for false
| stimulation, but is Natures 0lCn method
of STRENGTHENING and cleansing the sys-
| TEN. 1t tones up the stomach and the
| blood in Natures own way. 1t is well
| known all over the world as DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The name
was given to this vegetable compound
because one OF the important ingredients
was Golden Seal root. Such an
authority as DIR. Roberts Bartholow. OF
Jefferson Medical College, says "very use
| full as a stomachic tonic. Cures catarrh
of the stomach and headaches accom-
psnyinR the same" DIR. Grover Coe, in
| his book Organic Medicines, speaking of
Golden Seal root, says that vas liver
| inyigorato it has felG equals" Further
he saws, Uin chronic Inflammation of the
bladder we deem it one of the most reli-
| able agents of cure. AS tonic in the
convalescing stages of fevers, pneumonia,
dysentery and other acute diseases Hy-
draStis Golden Seal root is peculiarly
appropriate"
add that our experience has demon
strated the Hydrastis or Golden Seal root
to be a valuable remedy in bronchitis,
laryngitis, and other affections of the
respiratory organs"
1Of service in chronic catarrh of the
stomach and bowels following abuse of
alcohol. a tonic after malarial fever.
Has distinct, anti-malarial influence.
! Good in all catarrhal conditions, as
uterine catarrh, leucorrhoea, etc. Is a
curative agent in chronic dyspepsia

Prof. John NJ. Scudder in Specific Med
ication says: 1t stimulates the diges'
| tive processes, and increases the assimila-
ton OF food. BY these means the blood
is enriched, and this blood feeds the
muscular system. l mention the mus
cular system because l believe it first
feels the increased power impaired by
the stimulation of increased nutrition
The consequent improvement on the
nervous and glandular systems are
natural results.
In relation to its general effects or
the system, there Is no medicine i1l aSt
about aUlich there Is such general qt7lG1l
i7nitu of opinion. 1t is universally re-
garded as the tonic useful in all de-
bilitated states"
After many years of study and labo-
ratory work DR.. r. " Pierce produced
the most happy combination of this
Golden Seal root with other efficaciouS
roots-enhancing and increasing in cura'
tive power these native plants from oul
American forests by the addition of chem
ically pure glycerine, Of proper strength
| which is far better than alcohol, both
for extracting and preserving the medi-
cinal principles residing in plants. Glyc-
crime itself is useful in medicine to sub
due inflammation and by cleansing the
membrane of the stomach Of abnormal
secretions aids in the cure OF dyspepsia,
and stomach and intestinal troubles;
