New York, Jan. Tt became known

had changed for the worse within the
last day or so. His friends are now
seriously alarmed about him.
The operation which Mr.. Hartman

it has been at any time previously.
Mr.. Hartman had been expected to

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DIR. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon it's wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce'S Family Medi-
cines dll q class dlt by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, tho
great stomach tonic liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
uFavorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is a better solvent and preserv-
ative OF the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our Indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that 1t possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptc, and most efficient
antiferment
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every Ingredient entering into the COM
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
