I.IK I<: L, V TO REVOLUTION l| Ii I H A R H A C V .
A HAPPY COMBINATION
Of just the right jMojxirtion < i each of the roots of several
indigenous, or native, medicinal plants, or rather ol the
ictive, medicinal principles skillfully extracted therefrom by
the use of chemically pure glycerine of just the right
strength, constitutes Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for
the cure of weak, invalid, nervous, "run-dowti," over
worked women Many years ago, Dr. Fierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is a far
Ix'tter solvent and preservative of the medicinal principles
found in our indigenous, or native, medicinal plants, than is
alcohol. Believing, as he does, that the use ot alcohol, even
in small portions, if long continued, works great harm to
the human system, he determined not to employ this com-
monly Used agent in making his medicines, but to use pure,
triple-refined glycerine instead. Now, glycerine is not only
perfectly harmless but possesses intrinsic medicinal propel -
ties, being a most valuable demulcent, solvent, nutritive,
anti-septic and anti-ferment Since they are non-alcoholic,
Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines belong all by themselves. They
are neither patent nor secret medicines. Their ingredients
are printed, in plain English, on each Imttle-wrapper.
The exact proportion of the several ingredients used in
these medicines, as well as the working formula and peculiar
processes, apparatus and appliances employed in their inanti
tacture, are withheld from publicity that Dr. Pierce's pr<>
prietary rights may not be infringed and trespassed upon by
unprincipled imitators and those who may be piratically
inclined.
WllAf OTHKRS SAY.
With Dr. Pierce s medicines you don't have to pin your
faith wholly to what the manufacturer says of their curative
potency as with other medicines. Mercenary motives, the
greed for money getting, it is feared, often lead men, and
women l( o. to put forth unreasonable claims for their loudly
praised hut many times nearly worthless compounds. Espe-
cially should the afflicted beware of the "Cheap-John," free,
give awa\ . "(ti il bottle "' dodge. It don't j i\ to trifle with
oue's health. Ii should be regarded as too sacred to be ex-
perimented with
Dr. Pierce's medicines have i record of nearly forty
years of cu/rs behind them, embracing many hundreds of
thousands of bad cases restored to health and happiness.
THKY STAND ALONK
in having the professional endorsement of scores of eminent
medical practitioners and writers, of all the several schools
of medical practice, who praise the curative properties of the
several ingredients < f which they are composed, away K*
ytmd all that the makers of these medicines have ever claimed
for them. These are more valuable because in every case
written without the author knowing that he was praising
articles entering into these popular mediein v the matter
being composed for publication in various medical journals
and books designed exclusively for professional reading and
instruction. The afflicted can, therefore, rely upon such
'.estiuiony as in every way truthful and trustworthy.
A l.ITTI.H BOOK
has boeti compiled, made up of brief extracts from tnanv
standard medical works, giving, but onl; in part, some few
of the many good things written by leading medical author
ities concerning the several native, medicinal roots that enter
into the composition of I)r Pierce's medicines Any one

OPEN TO ALL
This little hook of extracts, contain *., in plain English,
the name of every iugredi tit wlii h enters into Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, the f mous cure for weak stom-
, ach or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or "biliousness," bad blood,
i and all catarrhal diseases of the several mucous passages.
By reading this little book, you will learn why this medicine
! cures such a wide range of diseases You will find that two
of the prominent ingredients of the "Golden Medical Dis-
covery " are recommended by the medical writers of all the
several schools of practice for the cure of diseases of ttye
mucous surfaces, as catarrh of the nasal passages, of the
stomach and bowels, including ulceration of the same. You
will find these agents also spoken of as the best of remedies
tor all cases of atonic dyspepsia, that is dyspepsia depend-
ent uj)on weakness of the stomach itself—muscular weak-
ness; also, for kidney and bladder diseases.
Several of the ingredients entering into the "Golden
Medical Discovery," viz: Queen's ro-'i Black Cherrybark,
Stone root and Bloodroot are highly recommended for
chronic, or lingering coughs, and for all chronic, bt hial
and laryngeal, or throat affections. In fact, some the
i writers go so far as to state that the active medicinal pnnci-
1 pie contained in Queen's root alone will cure bad cases of
bronchitis. Is it uot reasonable then to expect much in the
way of curative i (-suits from a compound containing not one
but Jour ingredients, each of which has a reputation for
ruling bronchial and throat affections accompanied with ob-
stinate cough ? Observation, however, leads the makers of
this famous medicine to recommend the "Discoverv for
chronic or lingering coughs, rather than for acute colds and
coughs. In the latter ea^ ■ it is generally not quite 'loosen-
ing," or expectorant enough unless mucilage of slipjjery
eltn, flax seed or Gum Arabic be drank freely at same time
it is being used, but when the cough has passed acute
stage, if still persistant, tbe "Discovery" will prove a sover-
eign remedy lor its control.
Dr. Pierce never beloved it necessary or advisable to
use alcohol in the preparation of either his "Favorite Pre-
option " for weak women, or his "Golden Medical Dis-
covery" the well-known alterative tonic, which is so largely
used as a remedy t* indigestion, torpid liver, bad blood and
kindred ailments Over fort years ago, he discovered that
(hemically pure, triple-refined glycerine is a far better ,olv-
ent^-f most of the active principles residing in our native,
medicinal plants when used at a proper and sustained tem-
perature than is alcohol: and, furthermore, he found that a
glyceric extract kept much better than an alcoholic one. and
that the glycerine possessed intrinsic remedial value, being
demulcent, nutritive and an effective, antiseptic and anti-
ferment. Although costing somewhat more, Dr. Pierce
predicts that glvceric medicinal extracts will, in tlie not
distant future, largely replace alcoholic ones so generally
prt-seril>ed bv physicians aud put out by proprietSrv or
"patent medicine " manufactures, as being more efficient and
entirely free from the serious objection ot making inebriates
when used in lingering or chronic cases, when a somewhat
protracted use of medicine is necessary no matter how good
or well adapted to the case it may l>e in order to obtain per-
manent results.

cines of known composition. It is but natural that one
should have some interest in the composition of that which
he is expected to swallow, whether it be food, drink or med
i<?ine. This sentiment has resulted in the introduction in
• the legislatures of many of the State-, as also in the Con
gress of the United States, bills providing for the publica-
tion of formula or ingredients^ on wrappers and lat>els of
medicines and foods put up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition on the. part of the
public generally, aud satisfied that the fullest publicity can
only add to the well-earned reputation ot* his proprietary
medicines, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. \ , has "taken
time by the forelock."' as it were, and :s publishing broad
cast, and on each bottle wrapper, a full and complete list of
all the ingredients entering into his medicines, "Golden
Medical Di. overy " and " Favorite Prescription."
This striking departure of Dr. Pierce from the usual
course pursued by the manufactures ol* proprietary medi-
cines. at once takes his medicines out of the class generally
known as "patent" or secret medicines, neither of which
term is at till applicable to them, as their formula now
appears on the wrapper of every bottle leaving the gieat
laboratory at Buffalo, N\ Y. It places them in a class all
by themselves. Neither of them contains any alcolw!, which
fact alone should cause them to be classed all by themselves
and as entirely harmless, vegetable extracts, made and pre
served bv the use of glycerine and not with the usually em-
ployed strong alcohol, which works so much injury, esj>e-
cially in eases where treatment, even though of the best,
must be continued tor considerable periods of time. 111 order
to make the cure permanent.
Many years ago, Dr. Pierce found that chemically pure
glycerine, of propel strength, was far l>etter than alcohol
both for extracting and preserving the medicinal principle-
residing in our indigenous, or native, medicinal plants, such
as he employes exclusively in manufacturing his medicines.
Some of these medicinal roots have, since Dr. Pierce
first commenced to use them, advanced so in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by o«*r farmers. This is j
especially true of Golden Seal root, which enters into both
the Doctor's "Golden Medical Discovery " and his "Favorite
Prescription." It now briugs upward of $1.50 a pound, 1
although formerly selling at from 15 to 20 cents a pound.
Many tons of this most valuable root are annually consumed i
in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory.
Iu this way the afflicted, who may think favorably of j
using these non-secret medicines, are taken into Dr. Pierce's j
full confidence aud are informed as to the properties and 1
uses of each of the several vegetable ingredients of which <
they are composed.

of e h and every ingredient entering into the composition
of these world-famed m.dicines by numerous leading med-
ical writers of the several schools of practice. In fact
nothing which Doctor Pierce has ever said in recommend-
ation of these medicines is quite so strong aud laudatory of
their merits as what has. indirectly been said of them
through the numerous unqualified endorsements and recom-
mendation of each ol their several ingredient. by the leading
writers on Matey ia Medica
Among the well-known authorities will be found Drs.
Bartholow, Hare, Johnson. Wood. King. Sc-idderr Hale,
Coe, Kllingwood and many others
The ingredients are all indigenous or native, medicinal
roots. Dr. Pierce believes that medicine can cure disease
only as it assists Nature to overcome the abnormal or
diseased conditions For thus assisting Nature in throwing
off disease, Dr Pierce believes-tlu bc -t and only real rem-
dies are to be found in Nature's Laboratory. I11 the roots

has stored up most valuable, active, curative principles,
which, when scientifically extracted and combined in just
the right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical
Discovery, are most effective in curing a long list of chronic,
or lingering, and most obstinate diseases.
