"No, pn," replied the son to his father. "Pm like your paper-en tered as seo md-olass matter." *1t What Do They Curet Tho abovo question Is often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two loading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription." Tho answer ls that "Golden M?dical Discovory " is a mo9t potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator ,nd acts especially favorably in a cura , Ive way upon all tho mucous lining sur faces, as of tho nasnlapnssagcs, throat, bronchial tubos, stomach, bowels and bladder, curing a largo nor cent, of catar rhal cases whether tho disenso affects tho nasal passages, tho throat, larynx, bron chia, stomach (as cat a rr hal dyspepsia ), bowels (as mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other pelvic organs. Even In tho chronic or ulooratlve stages of these affections, it Is often successful In affect ing cures. Tho "Favorito Prescription" ls advised for tho euro of ono class of diseases-those peculiar weaknesses, derangements and irregularities inc lout to women only. It ls a powerful yet gently acting Invigorat ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn out, over-worked women-no matter what has caused tho broak-down, "Favorite Proscription "will bo found most effootlvo in building up tho strength, regulating tho womanly functions, subduing pain und bringing about? a healthy, vit; condition of the wholo system. A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving tho foruudie of both medicines and ?ploting what scores of eminent med eal authors, whoso works are consulted oy physicians of all tho schools of practice ns guides In proscribing, say of each In gredient entering Into theso medicines. The words of praise bestowed on tho several ingredients entering into Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers should have moro wolght than any amount of non - professional testimonials, because such men aro writing for tho guldanoo of tholr medical brethren and know wheroof they speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of nativo, American medicinal forest plants. They aro both .sold by dealers In medicine. You can't I a fiord to accept as a substitute for ono of theso medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum.
