Made of Forest Roots Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medicinal roots for the cure of most obstinate and fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and, in confirmation of this conviction, he points with pride to the almost marvelous cures es- Jk \ fected by his “Golden Medical Discovery” which has proven itself to be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigorator and blood cleanser known to medical science. Dyspepsia, or indigestion and torpid liver yield to its curative action. The reason why it cures these and many other affections, is clearly shown in a little book of extracts from the standard medical works which is mailed free to any address by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., to all sending request for the same. Not less marvelous, in the unparalleled cures it is constantly making of woman’s many peculiar affections, weaknesses and distressing derangements is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed by grateful patients who have been cured by it, often after many other advertised medicines, and physicians had failed. . . . Both the above mentioned medicines are wholly made up from the cri p-^f 3^® a° thev'are roots. The processes employed in their manufacture were original with Dr. Pierce and they are earned on by skilled chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habtt-formtng drugs. A full list of their ingredients is printed on each bottle-wrapper. Don t accept secret nostrums as substitutes for these medicines OF KNOWN composition. \ _
