This frank and open publicity places these medicino3 in a class all by'ihem sclvcs, ami is tho best guaranty of their merits. They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither being of lamum ccmpcs-Uicm. Dr. Pierce feels that he cr.n afford to take the alilicted into his full coniidenco 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 c the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medi cines are recommended.

A glance at the printed formula on each bottle will show that no alcohol and no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants.
