The great prevalence of this disease, and its
fatal results. are well calculated to enlist our
hest efforts for it's cure What is Consump-
ton? It's disease of the lungs produced
by an acrid and impure condition of the blood,
which circulating through these most delicate
organs. poisons and irritstes their tissues and
invites the scrofuIous humors OF the blood,
causing the deposition of tubercles and estab-
fishing local scrofula- Another prolific excit-
ing cause OF the development OF scrofulous
disease of the lungs, or tubercular consump-
ton is Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which extend
ing along the mucus lining membrane Of the
throat, trachea and bronchial tubes, finally
attacks the substance of the lungs, and here
establishes such an irritation to invite the
blood to deposit it's burden of impurities in
these organs. Consumption itself IL not so
| often hereditary as is generally supposed.
That a condition of low vitality may be trans
mtted from parents to children is unquestion-
ably true. 1t is this deficiency 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

the liver becomes torpid, and but very imper-

| Of the blood the lungs, as has before been
shown, becomes irritated. The general health
becomes broken down. and the person feels
languid, weak faint, drowsy and confused.

There is no rational way to cure consump-

From the properties and remedial effects of
nv Golden Medical Discovery, the reader will
readily understand why it has been so sue
| cessful in curing this fatal malady.
With it have arrested the hacking and
| harassing cough, the night sweats and hectic
| fever of the consumptive invalid, snatched
| from the jaws Of death and restored to health
and happiness many who, but for my Dissolve
~. must soon have fallen victims to that re-

| full medicine is extracted, the healing proper
ties bv the use Of which Consumption. the
scourge OF the human family, may in its early
stages be promptly arrested and permanently
cured 1 do not wish to delude, hatter and
then disappoint the afflicted by asserting that
this can be accomplished when the lungs are
half consumed, many do, who, being devoid
Of all conscience, aim to humbug the afflicted
that they may sell their often worse than
worthless compounds.
But if my Go'6en Medical Discovery is en-
pIoyed in the first early stages of the disease,
l know from ample observation and actual
tests in hundreds Of cases that it viii positive
" arrest the disease and restore health and
strength. From its wonderful power over this
terrible disease, thought strongly OF calling
it my Consumptive cure but from the fact
that it is perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoarseness to which ministers and other
public speakers and singers are subject, and
also for bronchitis and al seueTe coughs, and
is an invaluable remedy for diseases of the
Liver, and also as a Blood Purifier, I decided
not to apply 10 it a name which might mislead
and prevent Is use in other diseases for which
it is SO admirably adapted. l wish to mention
most wonderful nutritive property which it
possesses, and which so peculiarly adapts it to
the wants Of tAeS-nsumptive and the scrofu~-
lous. The nutritiye properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trhing when compared with
those possessed by my Discovery. 1t is aston
ishing to see how it builds up the solid muscle,
and increases the flesh and weight of those
whose systems are reduced below the usual
standard Of perfect health. The following
testimonial fully confirms all that 1 claim for
my Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of
Consumption:
