"GUARANTEED'
UNDER THE PURE FOOD AND DRUGS ACT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
On every bottle of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills sold in the United. States of Amerien there is placed on extra label, bearing a number and the word "Guaranteed" which denotes that the proprietors of Dr. Marse's Indian Root Pills guarantee that they contain nothing that is not in strict accordance with the Pure Food and Drugs Act. It is further guaranteed that Dr. Morse s Indian Root Pills comply with the regulations of the Department of Health, both as to the standard of purity of the ingredients used in their manufacture. and also that they are a good, wholesome remedy for the purposes they are advertised for. Dr. Morse's Indian Koot Pills are a purely vegetable sugar- coated medicinal preparation, carefully compounded by experts, and are manu inctured on the premises under the direct supervision of the proprietors. The care taken in the production of these Pills, is illustrated by the manner in which they are packed. Instead of being put up in cheap wooden boxes-that absorb poisonous and other substances they are packed in glass bottles at a cost of five or six times that of wooden boxes. The extra cost is more than made up in the satisfection of knowing that the Pills reach the public just as they left the laboratory, unaffected by moisture or climatic changes and free from contamination by contact with any foreign matter
