‘Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-call {mt.enfi medicines/ con- taining injurious ingredfents as broadly ublished in Some journals of more or less influence, this Eubliclty has certainl been of greati benelit in arousing needs attention to this subject. It has. in a considerable . measure, resulted in the most Intelligent people avoiding such and medicines as may be fairly sns- &o:bed of containing the injurious ingre- nts' comPlainad of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Piéfce, of Buffalo, N. Y., “took time by the forelock,” as it were. and published broadcast all the fngredients of which his pogula.r medi- cines are com[)osed. Thus he has com- pletely forestalled all harping critics and all :J:posn.lon that migght otherwise be urged against his medicines, because they B8 NOW OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. FKur- thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these medicines contain’ no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in the de;;ths of our American forests and of well recognized curative virtues. Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly objec- tionable from its tendency to produce a craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em- ploys chemically pure, triple refined glycerine, which of itself is a valuable remedy in many cases of chronic disease, being a superior demuleent, anti-septic, anti-ferment and supporting nutritive. It enhances the curative action of the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherry- bark and Bloodroot, contained in “Golden Medical Discovery,” in all bronchial, throat and lung affections attended with severe coughs. ~ As will be seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of Cin- cinnati; Ellingwood, of Chicago; Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand as leaders in their several schools of prac- tice. The foregoing agents are the v best iniredxenbs that Dr. Pierce coul have chosen to make up his famous *Discovery ” for the cure of not only bronchial, throat and lung affections, but also of chronic catarrh in all its various forms in whatever part of the system located. Bg reading the writings of these emi- nent medical men contained in the little booklet recently ‘compiled by Dr. R. V. Plerce, of Buffalo, N. Y., which will be sent free, on request by postal card or letter, addressed to him, as above, the reader. will find that all the several native, medicinal roots entering into the “Golden Medical Discovery,” as also into Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, for woman's weaknesses and peculiar ail- ments, are very highly recommended and %mlsed as cures for diseases for which r. Pierce advises these famous medi- cines of his preparation. Dr. Ellingwood says of Golden Seal root, which is an important ingredient in. both “ Favorite Prescription” and ® Golden Medical Discovery,” it is an fmportant remedy in disorders of the womb.” He continues: “In all catarrhal conditions, especially in flabby, muscujar relaxation and p?eneral enfeeblement, it is useful.” Prof. Scudder, late of Cin- einnati, says of Golden Seal root, in rela- tion to its general effect on the system, “there is no medicine in wuse ~about which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic, useful in all debilitated states.” Dr. Bartholow says that Golden Seal root is “valuable in uterine hemorrhage (bleeding), hemorrhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenorrhcea) painful men- struation).” Prof. John King, author of the AMERI- CAN DISPENSATORY, says of Black Cohosh root, another ingredient of *Favorite Pre- 1 S -by. no'c drug, of greatest utiflity in irritative and'congestive' conditions of the uterais and appendages characterized by. tensive, | dragging pains resembling the pains of rheumatism.”, He continues: ©It is a good remedy for the reflex (side acnes) of unmarried women.” He also recom- mends it for uterine leucorrheea, also for sterility. He further says, *its ‘action is slow, but its effects are permanent.” He also recommends this' agent for St. Vitus's dance, also for many rheumatic conditions, as does also Hobart H. Hare.; M. D., professor in, the Med. Dept., Uni- versity of Pa. Other agents entering into the “Favorite Preseription” are equally praised in the little book of extracts from Prominent medical authors whose pub- ished works are consulted by physicians of all the several schools to guide them in prescribing. “Golden Medical Discovery " as also Dr., Pierce’s Favorite Prescription may be relied upon to cure all the diseases and more than all that their several ingre- dients are represented as curing, by the above eminent physicians, for they are so compounded that each ingredient acts in harmony with all the others, and also. enhances their curative action. They may be taken conjointly in alternate doses with great advantage. The most_ intelligent people are fast coming to the conclusion that it does not pay and is not safe to resort to medicines of doubtful composition when there are those in the market every ingredient of which is published on their wrappers and which are so strongly praised and en- dorsed by scores of those most eminent in the medical profession. Secret -medi-~ cines can, of course, have, no such pro- Jessional endorsement. In favor of Dr. Pierce's medicines is the frank, confiding, open, honest state: ment of their full composition, giving every ingredient in i)]ain Englishs with- out fear of successful criticism and witk confidence that the good sense 'of the afflicted will lead them to agpreciam this honorable manner of confiding to them what they are taking into their stomachs | when making use of these medicines. Dr. Pierce feels that. he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medi- cines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most. strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers of all the several schools of practice as cures for the diseases for which these medicines are recommended.

He is an experienced physician and will treat your case as confidential and without charge for correspond- ence. Address him at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.

The ceiling was hung profucely with dainty and deli- cate cobwebs well set off with large quantities of last year’s fly specks. And the floor was thickly strewn with cast off rubbers‘and other footgear, the accumulations of years, and rep- resenting a large outlay of time and mouey. The guestsasarule were in full evening dress, blue flannel shirts and overalls being the prevailing styles, with an occasional biled shirt or paper collar to provide variety and serve as reflectors for the large sixteen candle power light. After a few hours of cards, progressive slap jack being the principle entertainment, at which nearly everyone won prizes, refresh- ments were served. These con- sisted of a large pot of baked beans as the ‘‘piece de resistance”’ surrounded by all the luxuries usually to be found at this season in the woods, and accompanied by achoice cup of Rie, with a dilutent of the best obtainable condersed milk, ‘The glittér of glass and metal was dazzling to most of the guests, who were rather unused to such magnifi- cence. The tableware was of the brightest tin to be found at this season of the year, when most of the outfits have seen from one to four years service in} the camps, Owing to the forget- | fulness of the caterer who had omitted to furnish a dishup spoon for the beans, a shovel had to be made of a pine slab, but with this exception everything passed off serenely. As most of the hard cider and cold tea had disap- peared before the serving of re- freshments, the numerous toasts were drank in the liquid that made Bemidji famous. After an hour or more—considerably more—the gang dispersed, pre- sumably to their homes, with many band shakes and wishing Mr. George many happy returns different from the returns of 1904, and vowing they would come again the next time he was fifty.
