Eminent Doctors Praise its Ingredients.
We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Dr- John Fyfe one cf the Editorial Staff
of. Eclectic Medical Review says
of Unicorn root (llcionias Dioica) which
Is ono of the chief ingredients of the "Fa

ine iuviiu'sH':

tivity of e:i;ir ivyrodactlve system."
lie coRtisu; m iirioriius we nave a medica
ment vjii.-ii m-jre answers the above
purposes tfutn any oilier drug ivith which I am
acquainted, in the treatment of diseases pe
culiar to women it Is seldom that a case is
seen which loes not present some indication
for this remetiial asent." Dr. Fyfe further
says: "The following are among the leading
iadicationa for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pnin
or aching In the back, with leucorrhoea;
atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive
organs of women, mental depression and ir
ritability, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs of women, constant
sensation of heat in the region of tho kid
neys: menorriiasia (Hooding-), due to a weak
ened condltiou ot the reproductive system;
amenorrhuea (suppressed or absent monthly
periods ), arising Irom or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and anaiiaic (thin blood) habit; dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part of the
abdomen."
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than tako Dr. Pierce's Favorito

ents of vrhich is Unicorn root, or Ilelonias.
and tho mudical properties of which it

Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
ingredient of "iTvorit9 Prescription,"
Prof. FinlcT EIHnjwood, M. D., of Ben

It is an iraportant remedy in disorders of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions
and general enf soblement, it is useful."
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root :
"In relation to its general effects on the
system, there is no medicine in use about which
there in melt general unanimity oopim'xm. It
is uniocrxaUy regarded as Via tonic useful In
all dobfiifated states."
Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson
Medical College, sa,ys of Golden Seal :
"Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, monor
rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor
