Show Be it known r ' that in the name i j Wru of Justice &f JL Tho unwarrantable attack of some editor upon the good name of a medicine medi-cine which has been recommended by mothers and women in all Etations of life, claiming that it contains 17$ alcohol alco-hol and other injurious ingredients, will be answered, for Dr. R. V. Pierce, the widely-known physician and founder of tho Invalids' Hotel and' Surgical Institute, In-stitute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has brought suit against the publication making mak-ing this unfounded attack, claiming $200,000 damages. Tho sworn complaint com-plaint shows that the statements concerning con-cerning our remedy made by this publication are wholly and absolutely false in every particular, and that the medicine contains no deleterious ingredients ingre-dients whatever, and none of the ingredients ingre-dients Btated in the article so published. If you question the purity of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, send a bottle to the health department of your city for analysis. Dr. R. V. Pierce is a. specialist in "the diseases of women, and employed this Prescription in a large practice, and finding that it cured the diseases and weaknesses of women in almost every case, he put it up in a form that could be easily procured .it any drug store. It has enjoyed tho confidence of the public for the past thirty-eight years, and during that timo has "had a larger sale than any other woman's tonic, for almost every woman who lias tried it recommends it to her friends. Dr. R. V. Pierce is willing to offer 81,000 reward to any one proving that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription does or ever did contain any alcohol or harmful drugs. This Prescription is nature's cure, because it is n pure compound com-pound ot medicinal plants and roots, scientifically extracted and combined, intended for the one single purpose of curinc; female weakness and the pains and drains incident to that distressing complaint. One of .tho largest wholesale whole-sale drug houses in this country, writing writ-ing from Philadelphia, stntcd, that after their attention was called to the article in the publication mentioned, they asked the most prominent chemist in Philadelphia, Phila-delphia, Dr. Leffmann, to procure n bottlo of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Prescrip-tion and report concerning the analysis. They say : " We received the following report : "In response to a request from you we havo tested a sample of the article sold as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, Prescrip-tion, and have not beeiv ablo to find cither alcohol or opium in the same." Yours, (Signed) Henry Leffmann, Charles H. Lmvall. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is so well and favorably known and has such a wide sale that its makers could not afford to allow such a charge to Enss unanswered, consequently they ave brought suit against the pubh- cation and will uis-provo tho charges Wu B by competent chemists.
