conditions of the system. The following are a few of the preparations of
this metal most generally used:

IRON BY HYDROGEN (_Ferri Redactum_). _Dose_--One to two grains.

CARBONATE OF IRON (_Ferri Carbonas_). _Dose_--One to three grains.

CITRATE OF IRON (_Ferri Citras_). _Dose_--One to three grains.

PYROPHOSPHATE OF IRON (_Ferri Pyrophosphas_). _Dose_--One to three
grains.

TINCTURE OF MURIATE OF IRON (_Tinctura Ferri Chloridi)._ _Dose_--Three
to twenty drops.

DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION. The Favorite Prescription, in
addition to those properties already described, likewise combines tonic
properties. In consequence of the never ceasing activities of the bodily
organs, the system requires support, something to permanently exalt its
actions. In all cases of debility, the Favorite Prescription
tranquilizes the nerves, tones up the organs and increases their vigor,
and strengthens the system. Directions for use accompany every bottle.

DR. PIERCE'S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY. In addition to the alterative
properties combined in this compound, it possesses important tonic
qualities. While the Favorite Prescription exerts a tonic influence upon
the digestive and nutritive functions, the Golden Medical Discovery acts
upon the excretory glands. Besides, it tends to retard unusual waste and
expenditure. This latter remedy tones, sustains, and, at the same time
regulates the functions. While increasing the discharge of noxious
elements accumulated in the system, it promptly arrests the wastes
arising from debility, and the unusual breaking down of the cells
incident to quick decline. It stimulates the liver to secrete, changes
the sallow complexion, and transforms the listless invalid into a
vigorous and healthy being. At the same time, it checks the rapid
disorganization of the tissues and their putrescent change, while it
sustains the vital processes. It is, therefore, and indispensable remedy
in the treatment of many diseases.

CHAPTER III.

BATHS AND MOTION AS REMEDIAL AGENTS.

The remedial effects of bathing are generally underrated. This want of
appreciation is more often due to the improper manner in which it is
performed than to an insufficiency of curative virtues. The term
_bathing_ not only implies a cleaning of the body or certain portions of
it, but also the application of water in such a manner as to influence
the nervous system, and regulate the
