GIVE NATURE A CHANCE.

The strongest minds have gotten their
inspiration direct from Nature. Nature
Is the great teacher of mankind. We
can look to Nature for all our needs. In
the recent RuSSO-JapaneSe war the sur
geons of the Japanese navy and army
discovered that wounds would heal moro
rapidly and with better success if left to
Nature. They washed the wounds with
water which had been boiled and thus
sterilized then bandaged the wounds
with clean linen-no powerful drugs or
antiSeptics were used in their first aid to
the injured. Such methods resulted in
the loss of only 30 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-givng tonic.
Many years ago physician who had
an extensive practice among the afflicted
made striking departure from the usual
went straight to Nature for the cure of
those stomach disorders which resulted
so often in an an9mic condition, or i'm
pure blood, loss OF appetite, pale or
pimply skin, feeling Of lassitudo and
weakness lie found that tho bark of
the Black Cherry-tree, the root of the
Mandrake, Stone root, Queens root,
Bloodroot and Golden Seal root, made
into scientific, non-alcoholic extract by
the use of glycerine, made the best altera-
tive and tonic. Tho refreshing influence
of this extract is at once apparent in the
recovered strength of the patient-tho
vital fires of tho body burn brighter and

tissue rubbish which otherwise may
poison the system. This Alternative and
tonic extract has been found to stand
alone as q safe, invigOrating tonic, as it
does not depend on alcohol for false
stimulation, but Is Natures OlC1l method
of strengthening and cleansing the sys-
tenn. 1t tones up the stomach and the
blood In Natures own way. 1t is well
known all over the world as DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The namo
was given to this vegetable compound
because one OF the important ingredients
was Golden Seal root. Such an
authority as DIR. Roberts Bartholow, of
Jefferson Medical College, says "very use
full as q stOmachic tonic. Cures catarrh
panying the same" DR.. Grover Coe, in
his book Organic Medicines. speaking of
Golden Seal root, says that 1aS q liver
invigOrator 10 has fc,c Equals" Further
he says, ain chronic inf animation of the
bladder we deem it one of the most reli-
able agents of cure. AS tonic in the
cOnvalescing stages OF fevers, pneumonia,
dysentery and other acute diseases Hy-
drastis Golden Seal root is peculiarly
appropriate"
DIR. Coo continues: 1We would here
add that our experience has demon
strated the Hydrastis or Golden Seal root
to be a valuable remedy in bronchitis,
laryngitiS, and other affections Of the
respiratory organs"
1Of service in chronic catarrh of the
stomach and bowels following abuse Of
alcohol, tonic after malarial fever.
Has distinct, anti-malarial influence.
Good in all catarrhal conditions, as
uterine catarrh, leucorrhpa, etc. Is a
curative agent in chronic dyspepsia"

Prof. John NJ. Scudder in Specific Med
ication says: at stimulates the diges-
tive processes, and increases the assimila-
tion of food. BY these means the blood

tho stimulation of Increased nutrition.
Tho consequent improvement on the
nervous and glandular systems are
natural results.
In relation to It's general effects on
the system, there Is no medicine IN use
about arhich there Is such general 1indn-
Unity of opinion. 1t Is universally re-
garded as the tonic useful in all de-
biltated states"
After many years Of study and labo-
ratory work DIR. Z. 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-
cinal principles residing in plants. Glyc-
crime itself Is useful in medicine to sub
due Inflammation and by cleansing the
membrane of tho stomach of abnormal
secretions aids in the cure of dyspepsia,
and stomach and intestinal troubles.
