H’s a Good sound common sense Polity To use medicines only of KNOWN COMPOSITION, and which contain neither alcohol nor habit-form-ing drugs. It is foolish—often dangerous to do otherwise. The most intelligent people, and many of the most successful, conscientious physicians, follow this judicious course of action. The leading medical authorities, of all schools of medicine, endorse the ingredients composing Dr. Pierce’s medicines. These are plainly printed on wrappers and attested under oath. There’s no secrecy; an open publicity, square-deal policy is followed by the makers.

THE ONE REMEDY for woman’s ailments, sold by druggists, which contains neither alcohol (which to most women is the rankest poison) or other injurious or habitforming drugs. ™ THE ONE REMEDY for women, the composition of which is so perfect and good that its makers are not afraid to print its every ingredient, in plain English on its outside bottle-wrapper, and attest the correctness of the same under oath. We have a profound desire to avoid all offense to the most delicate sensitiveness of modest women, for whom we entertain the respect and admiration. We shall not, therefore, particularize hire concerning the symptoms and peculiar ailments inci en ° , which Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has for more than 40 years proven such a boon.
