PIERCE Decision by tha Suprema Court of tht State, , Against the Ladlee' Home Journal. . A verdict has been rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit brought against the Ladies.' Home Journal (pub lished by the Curtis Publishing Co. ) by the World's Dispensary Medical Asoi ciation, of which Dr. R. V. Pierce is President. The suit was brought by Doctor Pierce against the Curtis Pub lishing Co., for making false state ments about one of the standard family medicines known as Dr. Pierce's 'Fa vorite Prescription. In the May num ber of the Ladies' Home Journal (1904), Mr. Edward .Bok, the editor, stated that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription contained alcohol and some other harm ful ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had in the action alleged that the defendant maliciously published this article con taining such false and defamatory mat ter,. Dr. Pierce further claimed that no alcohol is or ever was contained in his "Favorite Prescription," that said medicine was a vegetable preparation and contained no ' deleterious ingredi ents whatever; that Mr. Bok's state ment, pretending to give some , of the ingredients of said medicine, was wholly and absolutely false. During the trial, the Vice-Presidentof the World's Dispensary .Medical Associa tion stated, that the ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription were ex tracted from the following native roots: Golden Seal, Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slip per, ' Black Cohosh and Unicorn, by means of pure glycerine. He was ask ed how he knew, as a physician and ex perienced medical man, that the "Fa vorite Prescription" was a cure for the diseases peculiar to women, such as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante-version, retroversion, and he stated that he knew such wa? the fact because of his professional experience ' and the many thousands of women whose ills had been curedby this "Prescription." The Vice-President, being asked to give his authorities, read from the standard works, such as the United States Dis pensatory, The American Dispensatory and many other standard medical books. The retraction printed by the Curtis Publishing Company two months after the libelous statement appeared and nearly two months after the suit had been begun stated definitely that analy ses had beeirmade at their request and that the "Favorite Prescription" did not contain either alcohol, opium or digitalis.
