Consumption.
The great prevalence of this disease,
and its fatal results, are well 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 initiates their tissues
and invites scrofulous hunors of the
blood, causing the deposition of tuber.
cles and establishing local scrofula. An,
other prolific exciting cause of the
development of scroIulous disease OF
the lungs, or tubucular consumption, is
Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which, extending
along the mucous lining membrane ofthe
throat, trachea and bronchial tubes,
finally attacks the substance of the
lungs, and here establishes such an irri.
tation as to invite the blood to deposit
its burden Of impurities in these organs.
Consumption itself is not so often here
ditary as is generally supposed. That q
condition Of low vitality may be trans
mitted from parents to their children is
unquestionably true. 1t is this dehcien-
cy of vitality which is inherited--a
weakness which makes nutrition imper-
feet, and leads to the deposit of tuber-
cles. But thousands Of persons who
inherit feeble vitality would never suffer
from consumption ii the functions of the
system were kept correct and the blood
pure. When the liver becomes torpid,
and but very imperlectly pours off the
etfete, poisonous materials of the blood,
the lungs, as has before been shown,
become initiated. 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 sympathetic pain
in the shoulders and spine, and through
the lungs, is generally complained of.
The patient soon has dry, hacking
cough that liver cough Small minute
tubercles are developed in the lungs, and
peril ps exit for months all unknown to
their victim. Nothing,is done to remove
tubercles by the ordinary treatment.
Cough is only symptom of the disease,
yet this only is aimed at in the usual
treatment. There is no rational way to
cure consumption except to purify the
blood. Those poisonous materials in
the blood which cause the tubercles
must be thrown off by exciting the liver
to action. Vitality must be supported,
the system nourished and built up, and
the development Of tubercles thus pre-
vented. Remove the blood poison by
restoring the action of the liver and the
cough, which is only a symptom of the
real disease, is relieved. You thereby

From the properties and remedial eff
fects of DR.. Plerce's Golden Me lical
Discovery, which Ihave in the preceding
pages fully explained, the reader will
readily understand why it has been so
successful in curing this fatal malady.
With it | have arrested the hacking
and harrassing cough, the night sweats
and hectic fever of the consumptive in
valid !; snatched from the jaws of death
and restored to health and happiness
many who, but for my Discovery, mus
soon have fallen victims to that relent-
less foe. God, I believe, has instilled
into the roots and plants from which this
wonderful medicine is extracted, the
healing properties, by the use of which,
Consumption, the scourge of the human
family, may, in its early stages, be
promptly arrested and permanently
cured. l do not wish to delude, fatter
and then disappoint the afflicted by
asserting that this can be accomplished
when the lungs are half consumed, as
many do who, being devoid of all con.
science, aim to humbug the afflicted,
that they may sell their often worse than
worthless compounds.
But if my Alt. Ext, or Golden Medical
Discovery, is employed in the first or
early stages of the disease, 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 thought of
calling it my Consumptivs Cure but
from the fact that it is perfect specific
for the sore throat and hoarseness to
which ministers and other public speak
ers and singers are subject, and also for
Bronchitis, and all Seoere Coughs, and is
an invaluable remedy for diseases of the
Liver, and also as q Blood Purifier, L de-
cided not to apply to it name which
might mislead and prevent its use in
other diseases for which it is so admir-.
ably adapted.
1t will cure a Cough in one.half the
time necessary to cure it with any other
medicine, and it does it not by drying it
up, but by removing the cause, subduing
the irritation and healing the affected
parts.
