1t is subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such popularity, and met
with so large a sale in all parts of the land in
the same length of time, as DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its being more largely advertised than any 9TH
cr medicine, as such is not the case The cor
reel explanation, we think, is found in the fact
that this medicine produces the most wonder
full and perfect cures of very bad cases of bron-
chial, throat and lung diseases, is undoubtedly
the most perfect and efficient remedy for all
kinds of coughs that has ever been introduced
to the public, and at the same time possesses
the greatest of blood purifying and strengthen
ing properties that medical science has been
able to produce, thus rendering it a sovereign
remedy not only in the cure of CONSUMPTION,
Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs, but also
for all diseases Of the liver and blood, as scrof-
ulous diseases, botches, rough skin, pimpes,
black specks and discolorations. 1t has there
fore wide range of application and useful
ness, and 1t not only gives the most perfect
satisfaction to all who use it, bat far exceeds
the expectations Of the most sanouine. Tins
eliciting the loudest praise, and making per
manent Ering advertising mediums of all who
use 1t. For these reasons it is that there is not
perhaps a druggist in all the vast domain of
this Continent, who tries to please his custom
ers and supply their wants, that does not keen
and sell large quantities of this most valuable
medicine. -
