Forty years ago, when Dr, Plerce began the use of these several ingredients in his daily prac. tice many of them were little known to medical practitioners in general, Asan indication how some of them have grown in use and professional favor since that time, we note that Golden Seal root, which could then be bought in the open magket at from fifteen to twenty-five cents a pound, de to-day worth upwards of one dollar and fifty cents apound, Lady's Slipper root (“American Valerian ") has wlso advanced greatly in professional favor, and is to-day prescribed by the most advanced physicians to such an extent ‘as to have caused its market value to quadruple.
