It's name-"Golden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of it's most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed oGolden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousneSs and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever since has been, without particle
of alcohol in it's makeup.
A glance at the full list of its ingredi-
entS, printed on every bOttle-Wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts, teachers and writers on MGteTiG
Medicd who recommend them as the very
best remedies for the diseases for which
NGolden Medical Discovery" is advised.
A little book of these endorsements has
been compiled by DR.. r. V. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, n. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
ent schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
| diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
! tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
