DR.. Pierce's medicines, however, form
q single and therefore striking exception
to the above rule. Their claim to the
confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
say-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate .bottle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into DIR. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
of leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of the
curative value of the several Ingredients
entering into these we'll known med
icines.
In favor of DIR. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confding, open, honest state
ment of their full composition, giving
every ingredient IN plain English, with
out fear of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense of the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner of confiding to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask "What do DIR. Pierce's two leading
medicines Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription cure?"

"Cornstalks,'' as our general and sport

in strictness to the people of New
South Wales only on account of their
height and slimness. Because Victoria
is noted for it's gum trees Victorians
are required to answer to the inelegant
sobriquet of "Gumsuckers," while South
