cali A NEW DEPARTURE. « “Taking Time by The Forelock.” ’ All observing people must ‘have noticed a growing sentiment in this country in favor of using only put-up foods and -medicines of known com- position. It is but natural that one should have some interest in the com- position of that which he is expected to swallow, whether it be food, drink or medicine. This sentiment has ‘re- sulted in the introduction in ‘the legis- latures of many of the States, as also in the Congress of the United States, bills providing for the publication of formula or ingredients on wrappers and labels of medicines and foods put up for general consumption.' Recognizing this growing disposition on the part of the public generally, and satisfied that the fullest publicity can only add to the well-earned repu- tation of his proprietary medicines, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., has “taken time by the forelock,” as it were, and is publishing broadcast, and on each bottle wrapper, a full and com- plete list of all the ingredients entering into his medicines, “*Golden Medical Discovery,” the popular liver invigor- ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart regulator; also of his “Favorite Prescription” for weak, over-worked, broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in- valid women. This bold and out-spoken movement on the part of Dr. Pierce, has, by showing exactly what his well-known medicines are composed of, completely disarmed all harping critics who have heretofore unjustly attacked them. A little pamphlet has been compiled, from the standard medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, showing the strongest endorsements by leading medical writers of the several ingredients which enter into Doctor Pierce’s medicines and recommending these ingredients for the cure of the diseases for which Dr. Pierce’s medi- cines are advised. A copy of this little booklet is mailed free to any one desiring to learn more concerning the valuable, native, medicinal plants which enter into the composition of Dr. Pierce’s medicines. A request, by postal card or letter, addresse% to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, ‘N. Y., will bring this little booklet by return post. 1t tells exactly what ingredients are used in the mak- in%of Dr. Pierce’s famous medicines. 'his striking departure of Dr. Pierce from the usual course pursued by the manufacturers of 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 all applicable to them, as their formula now appears on the wrapper of every bottle leaving the great laboratory at Buifalo, N. Y. It places them in a class all them- selves. Neither of them contains any alcohol, which fact alone should cause them to be classed all by themselves and as entirely harmless vegetable ex- tracts, made and preserved by the use of glycerine and not with the usually employed strong alcohol, which works so much- injury, especially in cases where treatment, even though of the best, must be continued for consider- able periods of time, in order to make the cure permanent. Many years ago, Dr. Pierce found that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, was far better than ‘alcohol both' for extracting and pre- serving the medicinal principles residin, in our indigenous, or native, medicinal Pplants, such as he employs exclusively |. in manufacturing his medicines. 4 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 our farmers. This is especially true of Golden Seal roof, ‘which .enters: intp both the Doctor’s * Golden Medical Discovery” and his “Favorite Prescrip- tion.” It now brings upward of $1.50 a pound, although formerly selling at from 15 to 20 cents a pound. Many tons: of this most valuable root are annually consumed in Doctor Pierce’s Laboratory. From *Organic Medicines,” by Grover Coe, M. D., of New York, we extract the following concerning Hydrastis (Golden Seal root) ,which enters largely, ‘as we have already stated, into the com- position of both *Golden Medical Dis- covery” and “Favorite Prescription.” Dr. Coe says: especial influence : over mucous sur- faces. Its action in this respect is so manifest that the indications for its em- ployment cannot be mistaken. (Hence the efficiency of “Golden Medical Dis- covery,” which is rich in Golden Seal root, in all catarrhal affections, no mat- ter in what part of the system located.) Upon the liver it acts with equal cer- tainty and efficacy. As a cholagogue (liver invigorator), it has few equals. Also in scrofula, glandular diseases generally, cutaneous eruptions, indi- gestion, debility, diarrhcea, and con- stipation.” octor Coe continues: * Hydrastis (Golden Seal root), has been success- fully employed in the cure of leucor- rheea. Itisof singularefficacy when that complaint is complicated with: hepatic (liver). aberration (derangement). Hy- drastis is also of inestimable value In the treatment of chronic derangements of the liver. It seems to exercise -an especial’ influence over the portal vein and hepatic (liver) structure generally, resolving (dissolving) biliary deposits, removing obstructions, promoting se- cretion, and giving tone to the various functions. It is: eminently cholagogue (liver accelorator), and may be relied upon with confidence for the relief of hepatic (liver) torpor. It promotes di- gestion and assimilation, obviates con~ stipation, and gives tone to the depu- rating (cleansing) functions generally.”. Dr. Coe further says: “ We would here add that our experience has de- monstrated Hydrastis to be a-valu- able remedy in bronchitis, laryngitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs.” After reading the foregoing extracts who can doubt the great efficacy, in..a long list of diseases, of “Golden Med- ical Discovery,” one of the principal ingredients of which is Golden 'Seal root (Hydrastis)? And this applies with equal force to Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weak, worn- out, over-worked, nervous, invalid women. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are com- posed largely of concentrated principles extracted from Mandrake root. They regulate and invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels.

Superintendent of Schools Regan Gives Full Explanation of Contest. Bemidji, Minn., Feb. 28, '06. To the School Officers of Bel- trami Co: My visits to your schools re- veal the fact that the subject of agriculture, whilebeingpresent- ed in an indifferent sort of way in some of the schools, is not, on the whole, receiving the atten- tion this, to us very important branch of education should re- ceive. This statement is not intend- ed as a criticism of either your- selves or your teachers, but is written -solely with a view of calling attention to this detect that it might be cured. The rea- son for this indiffercnce on the part of ourschools, I believe, is due to the fact that the matter has never been agitated or ad- vocated by the school men of the county, and, therefore, its importance to both school and community bas been overlooked. An education to be worthy the name must be practical; 10 be fi}aclical it shouldfit the boy or girl forsome sphere of usefulness There can be no branch of education more useful and practical for the pupils of the rural schools. than agricuiture, which enters into taeir daily life and lifts their work from the commounplace of drudgery to the digoityof a science—a science that lightens iabor onthefarm. and, at the same time, multiplies its results. Recognizing the importance to tham of a betterment of agricul- tural counditiors in the state, the grain and milling interests of Mioneapolis have subscribed some $3000 to be awarded in prizes tor the best oats, wheat and corn grown under the direction of the school children of the various counties wishing to compete for such prizes. I have accepted their offer in ‘I'hrough Tourist Car Service To California Via Chicago Great Western Railway. - Cars leave Minneapolis and St. Paul on four days of the week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. For full informa- tion apply to J. P. Elmer, G. P. Ay St. Paul, Minn. =+ - B | necessary assistance, behalf of Beltrami county, and |now. appeal to yoz as my Cco- workers in the cause: of ' dduea- tion and, also. as citizens who in- tend to make this, county your ‘assistance and ‘make a begin- ning in this direction that will give our county a place among her sister counties and thereby serve the cause of education and your own financial welfare. THE COUNTY CO.TEST. The unitin this contest will be the school district, and I intend, where it is possible to do so, to supply allinformation necessary thru teachers and school officers. This contest will be held in the city of Bemidji some time in November or December—exact date will be stated in alater an- nouncement. An elaborate pro- gram will be prepared for the occasion. Samples of grains grown by contestants will be on exhibition for inspection of the judges and the public, and we confidently hope that this grand object lesson in the resources of our county and the work of our schools will be witnessed by the |largestgatheringeverassembled in Bemidji.
