GIVE NATURE A CHANCE.

The strongest minds have gotten their
inspiration direct from Nature. Nature
IL the great teacher Of mankind. We
can look to Nature for all our needs. In
the recent Russo-Japancse war the sur
geons of the japanese navy and army
discovered that wounds would heal more
rapidly and with better success il left to
Nature. They washed the wounds with
water which had been boiled and thus
sterlizcd then bandaged the wounds
with clean lihen-no powerful drugs or
antiseptics were used in their first aid to
the injured. Such methods resulted in
the loss of only 81 out Of 6S2 men treated
in naval hospital for their wounds. 1t
is only from lack OF observing Natures
laws that most Of us suffer at one time
or 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 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 angmic condition. or i'm.

pimpy 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, mona lcOholic 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 patient-the
vital fires of the body burn brighter and
THAR increased activity consumes the
tissue rubbish which otherwise ma
poison the system. This Alternative ana
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 O,rn method
of strengthening and cleansing the sys-

blood in Natures own way. 1t Is well
known all over the world as DR.. 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

his book Organic Medicines, speaking Of
Golden Seal root, says that ras a liver

he says, vim chronic Inflammation of the
bladder we deem it one of the most reli-
conva lascing stages of feverS, pneumonia,
dysentery and other acute diseases Hy-
drastis Golden Seal root is peculiarly
appropriate"
Dr. Coe continues: I'VE would here
add that our experience has demon
strated the Hydrastis or Golden Seal root
to be a valuable remedy in bronchitis,
larvnuifig and nthnr Affections nf thu
respiratory organs.
"Of service in chronic catarrh of the
stomach and bowels following abuse of

After many years of study and labo-
ratory work Dr. Il. V. 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 our
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
