GOOD, HONEST, SQUARE-DEAL Medicines like those of Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, warrant their makers in printing their every ingredient, which they do, upon their outside wrappers, verifying the correctness of the same under oath. This open publicity places these medicines in a class all by themselves. Furthermore, it warrants physicians \- JM in prescribing them largely as they do in their worst cases. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery mSbI Is a most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach and bowels, curing a large per cent, of catarrhal cases whether the disease affects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach (as catarrhal dyspepsia), liver, ■ 'I bowels (as mucous diarrhea), or other organs, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is advised for the cure of one class of diseases only—those peculiar weaknesses, derangements and irregularities peculiar to women. It is a powerful yet gently acting invigorating tonic and nervine. For weak, worn-out, over-worked women—no matter what has caused the break-down, ‘‘Favorite Prescription” will be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formulae of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent medical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in presen mg, say ingredient entering into these medicines. . . , . o-lvrerie Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non-secret and contain no harmfu in medicine 8 You extracts of the roots of native, American, medicinal, forest plants, they are doi \ n ,trum Don’t do it can’t afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known common, any tocrot nostrum. Don tdo it.
