In his great haste he had not even

compiled from numerous standard
medical works, of all the different
schools OF practice, containing
very numerous extracts from the
writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, indorsing in the
strongest possible terms each
and every ingredient contained in
DR.. Pierce's medicines. One of
these little books will be mailed
free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DR..
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and
requesting the same. From this
little book it will be learned that
DR.. Pierces medicines contain no
alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents
or other poisonous or injurious
agents, and that they are made
from native, medicinal roots of
great value.
Some of the most valuable in
Igredients contained in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription for weak,
nervous, overworked, rundown, -
nervous and debilitated women,
were employed, long years ago,
by the Indians for similar all
ments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable
medicinal plants entering into the
composition of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription was known to
the Indians as "Squaw-Weed."
Our knowledge of the uses of not
a few of our most valuable native,
medicinal plants was gained from
the Indians.
AS made up by improved and
exact processes, the "Favorite
Prescription" is a most efficient
remedy for healing alterations,
regulating all the womanly func-
tons, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and retro
version, overcoming painful peri
DDS, toning up the nerves and
bringing about perfect state of
health. Sold by all dealers in
medicines.
IT'S AN INSULT TO YOUR
INTELLIGENCE for a dealer to
endeavor to palm off upon you
some nostrum of unknown COM
position in place of DR.. Pierce's
world-famed medicines which are
OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend DR..
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true of
leading physicians, who do not
hesitate to recommend these med
icines, since they know exactly
what they contain and that their
ingredients are the very best
known to medical science for the
cure of the several diseases for
which they are recommended.
WITH TRICKY DEALERS
IT is DIFFERENT.
Something else that pays them
a little greater profit will be urged
upon you as Gust as good" or
even better. You can hardly af-
ford to accept a substitute of un-
known composition and without
any particular record of cures in
place OF. DR.. Pierce's medicines
which are OF KNOWN CON-
POSITION and have a record of
forty years of cures behind them.
You know what you want and it
is the dealers business to supply
that want. Insist upon it.

Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained In Pc-ru-na.

COntalrod In Pe-ru-na.
Anew claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proofthat Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy7 Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says Of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis. or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory saws
OF this herbal remedy, that il is largely
employed in the treatment ofdepraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia Cca-
tarrh of the stomach, chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice lca-
tarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar 10 women.
Another ingredient of Peruna. cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruns, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few. drug stores The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
OF cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretio. Itacts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract 1t acts as
stmulant on the genito-urinary mem
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis.
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases Of the liver and
