Controversy Over Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription Libel Verdict
A 1904 libel case against The Ladies' Home Journal ended with a jury verdict for Dr. R V Pierce for 16000 in favor of the Pierce company. The patient claimed the drug contained alcohol and harmful ingredients, which experts then denied. The Pierce camp seeks a new trial while insisting no payment was made pending that decision.
