How Nature Provides,
Our Beauty, Health and Happiness.

Is it not possible, and altogether prob
able that elements necessary for the
! bOdy-health are contained in the med
icinal roots found i'll the earth, digested
in the plant laboratory of Nature and
made ready for man or animal?
There Is a growing belief among scien-
fists that the vegetable kingdom fur
nishes us with the necessary elements
for blood making and to keep that deli
cate balance of health that the human
animal is so apt to disturb by wrong
methods OF living. Thus we know that
we should get the phosphates from the
wheat i'll our bread-or some cereal
foods, and iron from certain vegetables,
such as spinach and greens.
ii there is ill-health then our best
method for recovering our standard
balance of health is to go to Nature s
Laboratory-the plant lie which will
furnish the remedy.
Buried deep in our forests is the plant
known as Golden Seal Hvdrastis) the
root of which Edwin NJ. Hale, NJ. D.,
/ Professor Of Materia Medica at Hahne.
mann Medical College, Chicago, states
Win relation to its general effects on the
system, there is no medicine in use
, about which there is such general I'M
animity OF opinion. 1t is universally
regarded as the tonic useful in all de-
bllitated states" DIR. Hale continues:
"Prof. John NJ. Scudder says, 1t slim
ulates the digestive processes, and in
creases the assimilation Of food. By
these means the blood is enriched. and
this blood feeds the muscular system.'
mention the muscular system because
l believe it first feels the increased
power impaired by the stimulation of
increased nutrition. The consequent
improvement on the nervous and
glandular systems are natural results. >"
Stillingla or Queens root is another
root which has long been in repute as
an Alternative (blood puriiier) and Prof.
John King, NJ. d., says of it: vAn
Alternative unsurpassed by few if any
other of the known alternatives: most
successful in skin and scrofulous affec-
tions. Beneficial in bronchial affections

and may be taken without harm for
long periods"
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. r, V.
Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y, combined an
extract of the two above roots, together
with that of Stone root, Black Cherry
bark, Bloodroot, Mandrake and Give
erlne-into a prescription which he put
up in a ready-to-use form, and called
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t was most successful in correcting
and curing such ailments as were due
to stomach and liver arrangements,
followed by impure blood.
In cases of weak stomach, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, liberation of stomach
or bowels, torpid liver, or biliousness,
the "Golden Medical Discovery has
never been excelled as a tonic and in
vigorator which puts the affected or
gans yin tune" and enables them to
perform their proper functions.
This Alternative and tonic is indicated
when you have symptoms of headache,
backache, in fact "ache all over. )"
When your appetite is gone, tongue
furred, bad taste in mouth, foul breath.
when you feel weak, tired, blue and
discouraged, then is the time to take
this natural restorative of DR.. Pierce,
"Golden Medical Discovery" is not a
secret, or patent medicine, because all
its ingredients are printed on the bottle
wrapper. 1t contains no alcohol, or
other harmful, habit-forming agents

cerine being used as solvent and pre-
