ALCOHOL III SICKNESS.

At one OF the London public hos
pitfalls a special point is made of giving
alcohol to the patients as rarely and
sparely as possible; and each time
that one of the physicians does so he
submits a special entry of the reasons
that actuated him. In the thirty-two
years of the existence of the hospital
alcohol has only been given seventy
one times. Tie cases received are
exactly like those received by all the
other hospitals. For 1904 they num-
bered 1887 in patients only. The
death-rate among these was 7.3 per
cent. For the same year the average
death rate among the other London
public hospitals was 81 per cent.
Therefore the use of alcohol in sick
ness is not to be regarded as neces-
sity. Although most physicians pre-
scribe alcohol in solution with drugs
for their patients-there was one ply
stefan of national reputation who did
not believe in using alcohol. Many
years ago when DIR. r. V. Pierce de-
cided to put up his valuable vPrescrip-
ton" for the diseases of women in 4
uready to use" form he used as q
rolvent and preventative chemically
pure glycerine of proper strength,
tive of the active medicinal principles
residing in most of our indigenous or
native plants than is alcohol. DR..
Pierce found that the glycerine, be-
sides being entirely harmless, possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, of great
value.
No woman who is suffering from
inflammation, from the pains and
drains incident to womanhood can
afford to be without DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. An honest medi-
cine which has the largest number of
cures to its credit and deserved popu-
larity for two score years all over the
United States. DR.. Pierce tells you

bowels. As a cdinner pill" to promote
digestion, take one each day. To re-
lieve the distress arising from over
eating, nothing equals one of these
little ~Pellets." They're tiny, sugar.

larger than mustard seeds.
