The great prevalence of this disease, and its
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our
best efforts for its cure. What is Consump-
tom 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 the scrofulous hui
mors of the blood, causing the deposit
ton of tubercles and establishing local
scrofula. Another prolific exciting cause
Of the development of scrofulous disease OF
the lungs, or tubercular consumption, Is
Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which, extending along
the mucous lining membrane OF the throat
trachea and bronchial tubes, finally attacks the
substance OF the lungs, and here establishes
such an irritation as to invite the blood 10 de-
posit its burden of impurities In these organs.
Consumption itself is not SO often hereditary
as Is generally supposed. That condition or
low vitality may be transmitted from parents
to children is unquestionably true. 1t is this
deficiency of vitality which is inherted-a
weakness which makes nutrition imperfect,
and leads to the deposit Of tubercles. But
thousands Of persons no inherit feeble vital
ity would never suffer from consumption II
the functions of the system were kept correct
torpid, and but very imperfectly pours of the
effete, poisonous materials of the blood, the
lungs, as has before been shown, become irri-
tated. The general health becomes broken
down, and the person feels ianguid, 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 has dry, hacking cough-tnat
liver Coughl Small, minute tubercles are de-
veloped In the lungs, and perhaps exist Tor
months all unknown to their victim. Nothing
Is done to remove the tubercles by the or
binary 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 consump-
ton except to purify the blood. Those pol
sonous materials in the blood which cause the
tuberces 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 prevented.
Remove the blood poison by restoring the ac-
ton Of the liver, and the cough, which Is only
symptom OF the real disease, is relieved.
You thereby strike at the root Of f,ctpie'n con-
sumption and cure the patient
From the properties and remedial effects OF
my Golden Medical Discovery the reader VIII
readily understand why II has been so success
full in curing this fatal malady.
With it have arrested the hacking and har-
assing cough, the night sweats and hectic
fever of the consumptive invalid, snatched
from the jaws of death and res cred TO health
and happiness many who, but Tor my Discoy-
cry, must soon have fallen victims TO that re-
lentless foe. God, believe, has instilled into
the roots and plants from which this wonder
full medicine is extracted the healing proper
ties by the use of which Consume lion, the
scourge of the human family, may IN Its early
stages be promptly arrested and permanently
cured. do not wish to delude, Halter, and
then disappoint the afflicted by asserting that
this can be accomplished when the lungs are
naf consumed, as many do who, being devoid
of all conscience, aim TO humbug the afflicted
that they may sell their often worse than
worthless compounds.
But IL nv Golden Medical Discovery is en-
ployed in the first or early stages OF the dis.
ease / know from ample observation ana actual
tests in hundreds OF cases that 1t will positive
ly arrest the disease aud restore health and
strength From it's wonderful power over this
terrible disease thought strongly OF calling
1t my Consumptiye cure; but from the fact
that il is a perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoarseness To which ministers and other
public speakers and singers are subject, and
also for Bronchitis and all seyere coughs, and Is
an Invaluable remedy for diseases of the Liver,
and also as a Blood Purifier, decided not to
apply TO ii name which might mislead and
prevent its use in other diseases for which IL
Is SO admirably adapted. wish TO mention a
most wonderful nutritiye property which II
possesses, and which so peculiarly adapts 1t to
the wants Of the consumptive and the scrofu-
lous. The nutritive properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trifiing when compared win
those possessed by my Discovery. IL is aston
ishing To see how IL builds up the solid mus
cles, and increases the flesh and weight OF
those whose systems are reduced below the
usual standard OF perfect health The follow
ing testimonial fully confirms all that / claim
for my Golden Medical Discovery In the cure
of Consumption:
