Show The suit was for $200,000 damages, and was brought i ' j by Dr. Pierce against the Curtis Publishing Co. for mak- Hl I I ing false statements about one of his standard family medicines, known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. H In the May number of the Ladies' Home Journal (1904), H' -Mr. Edward Bok, the editor, stated that Dr. Pierce's Fa-vorite Fa-vorite Prescription contained alcohol and other harmful Hl .ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had in the action alleged the 1 defendant maliciously published this article containing 1 suah false and defamatory matter. Dr. Pierce further claimed that no alcohol is, or ever was, contained in his n Favorite Prescription"; that said medicine was a vege- ' ' table preparation and contained no deleterious ingredients , I whatever ; that Mr. Bok's statement pretending to give ? some of the ingredients of said medicine was wholly and HJ absolutely false. ' The retraction printed by the Curtis Publishing Co. Hl I two months after the libelous statement appeared stated j ; definitely that analyses had been made at their request , and that the "Favorite Prescription" did not contain v either alcohol, opium or digitalis. But the buisness of HL I 'j ; Dr. Pierce was injured from the effects of the publication Hj k 'i of the original libel and the matter was brought before a 1 i jury in the Supreme Court of New York State to determine Hr the damages. ; r An alcoholic compound for -women is something no woman Hl ' should take and vet u Favorite Prescription " is the only tonic and Hl r nervine put up for Balo through druggists, especially for wom- ana -weaknesses, that does not contain alcohol and "that too In 1 large quantities. Womanly weakness will always bring nervous irritability and a nervous condition, for which alcohol is the L t? "worst thing in the world. What a woman thus afflicted need6 is a vegetable tonic and invigorating nervine like Doctor Pierce's Fa- 1 ;; vonte Prescription, which will build up her delicate system and Hj bring about a healthy tone. It cures the drains and weaknesses 1 of "women, also displacements, aa prolapsus, anteversion, retro- v version, irregular and painful periods and kindred ailments.

Hf 3 : . Vr- Kerce doea not claim for his "Favorite Prescription " ( ' I that it Is a "cure-all." It is recommonded as a most perfect spo- FFaB I I ciflc for woman's ptouliar ailmenta. So uniform are the resulta Hf j 1 1 which follow tho us of this rcmarkablo remedy, that it can bo truly affirmed of "Favorite Prescription " that it always helps and almost always cures. Ninety-eight per cent, of the women who give this medicine a fair and faithful trial are cured and remain cured. It is a powerful invigorating tonio, imparting health and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. Tho local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak and sickly women who aro "worn-outj" "run-down" or debilitated, debili-tated, especially for women who work in etoro, office or schoolroom, school-room, who sit at the typewriter or sowing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has proven a priceless benefit because of its health restoring and strength-giving powers. Af a soothing and strengthening nervine, "Favorite Prescription" Pre-scription" is 'unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing sub-duing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous nerv-ous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St.Vitus's dance, and othor distressing nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Cures obstinate cases. "Favorite Prescription" is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate caEcs of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions and irregularities, prolapsus or falling of the pelvic organs, weak back, "female weakness," anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation, and ulceration, ulcer-ation, inflammation, more or less pain and tenderness over the lower abdomen accompanied with "internal heat." World's Dispensary Medical Association, Prop's, Buffalo, N.Y. GOLDEN SEAL ROOT (Hydrastis Canadensis). Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., says: "It stimulates the digestive processes, and increases tho assimilation of food. By these means the blood is enriched. The consequent improvement on the nervouB and glandular systems are natural results." Ho continues: In relation to Ite general effects on the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated stater." Prof. Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett College. Chicago, says of Golden Seal: "In its therapeutic (remedial) influence fta widest range of action is upon the stomach, in functional disorders dis-orders of that organ, where the entire apparatus, including the liver is stagnant and inoperative. It is a most superior remedy in catarrhal gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), chronic constipation, general debility, In copvalescenco from protracted fevers, in prostrating night-sweats. It is an important remedy in disorders peculiar to women. In all catarrhal conditions, especially espe-cially if there bo muscular relaxation and general cnfeeblement. it is useful." Prof. Roberts Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Hed. College, says of Golden Seal: "Valuable in uterine hemorrhage (flooding), (flood-ing), menorrhagia (profufio menstruation), and congestivo dysmenorrhea dys-menorrhea (painful menstruation). Locally good In leucorrhcea, ulceration and erosion of the cervix (neok of uteruB), unhealthy and sloughing sorea and ulcers of the leg." From the foregoing extracts it will bo seen that Golden Seal root is a very ofh'cent curative agent in most of the weaknesses and ailments affecting the organs poculiarlyfemlnlne. But there aro several other unsurpassed remedial agents for the cure of woman's maladies found growing in the forests of this blessed .land of ours, and these Dr. Pierce know to be of such grat efficacy ef-ficacy as to make It advisable to combine them in just ihC right proportions, with the Golden Seal root, In making up the iom- Eound known as htB "Favorite Prescription." Thus, he be'-pves e has producod the moBt happy combination of the most. "liable "li-able remedial agencies known to modern medical science fo tne cure of woman's peculiar -weaknesses and maladies. Ho feels that tho professional endorsement of those most eminent in the several schools of practice, will be found to amply justify him in tho use of thia strong language.

The Amorican Dispensatory says: "Bluo Cohosh is used bv Indian squaws, thoy employing a decoction of the root for two or threo weeks previous to labor to facilitate child-birth." Prof. John King, M.
