The great prevalence of this di-
sease, and its fatal results, are we'll
calculated to enlist our best efforts
for its cure. What is Consumption?
1t is disease of the lungs, produced
by an acrid and impure condition of
the blood, which, circulating through
these most delicate organs, poisons
and irritates their tissues and invites
scrofulous humors of the blood, caus-
ing the deposition of tubercles and es-
tablishing local scrofula, Another
prolific exciting cause of the develop
ment Of scrofulous disease of the
lungs, or tubercular consumption, is
chronic nasal catarrh, which, extend
ing along the mucous lining mem
brane Of the throat, trachea and bron-
chial tubes, finally attacks the sub
stance of the lungs, and here estab.
fishes such an irritation as to invite
the blood to deposit its burden of
impurities in these organs. Con-
sumption itself is not so often heredi-
tary as is generally supposed. That
condition of low vitality may be
transmitted from parents to children
is unquestionably true. 1t is this de-
ficiency of vitality which is inherited
"a weakness which makes nutrition
imperfect, and leads to the deposit of
tubercles. But thousands of persons
who inherit feeble vitality would
never suffer from consumption if the
functions of the system were kept
correct and the blood pure. When
the liver becomes torpid, and but
verv imperfectly pours off the efete,
poisonous materials of the blood, the
lungs, as has before been shown, be-
come irritated. The general health
becomes broken down, and the person
feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy and
confused. Pain in the right side, in
the region Of the liver, and sympa-
thetic pain in the shoulders and spine
and through the lungs, is generally
complained of. The patient soon
has a dry, hacking cough-that liver
cough. Small minute tubercles are
developed in the lungs, and perhaps
exist for months all unknown to their
victim. Nothing is done to remove
tubercles by the ordinary treatment.
There is no rational way to cure con-
sumption except to pnrify the blood.
Those poisonous materials in the
blood which cause the tubercles must
be thrown ofby exciting the liver to
action. Vitality must be supported,
the system nourished and built up,
and the development of tubercles thus
prevented. Remove the blood poison
by restoring the action of the liver,
and the cough, which is only a symp.
tom of the real disease, is relieved
You thereby strike at the root of in
cipient consumption and cure the pa

From the properties and remedial
effects of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, which have in the pre-
ceding pages fully explained, the
reader will readily understand why it
has been so successful in curing the
fatal malady.
With it l have arrested the hack
ing and harassing cough, the night
sweats and hectic fever Of the con-
sumptive invalid snatched fiom the
jaws of death and restored to health
and happiness many who, but for my
Discovery, must soon have fallen vic
Tins to that relentless foe. God, l
believe, has installed into the roots
and plants from which this wonderful
medicine is extracted, the healing
properties, by the use of which, Con-
sumption, the scourge of the human
family, may, in its early stages, be
promptly arrested and permanently
cured. | do not wish to delude, fiat
ter, and then disappoint the afflicted
by asserting that this can be accom-
plished when the lungs are half con-
sumed, as many do who, being devoid
of all conscience, aim to humbug the
afflicted, that they may sell their of
ten worse than worthless compounds.
But if my Alt. Ext, or Golden
Medical Discovery, is employed in
the first or early stages of the disease,
l know from ample observation and
actual test in hundreds of cases, that
it will positively arrest the disease and
restore health and strength. From
its wonderful power over this terrible
disease l thought of calling it my
Consumptive Cure; but from the fact
that it is a perfect specific for the sore
throat and hoarseness to which minis
ters and other public speakers and
singers are subject, and also for Bron-
chitis, and all severe coughs, and is
an invaluable remedy for diseases of
the Liver, and also as a blood purifier
l decided not to apply to it a name
which might mislead and prevent its
use in other diseases for which it is so
admirably adapted.
