The great prevalence of this disease, and
its fatal results, are well calculated to enlist
our best efforts for its cure. What is Con-
sumption? It is q disease of the lungs pro-
duced by an acrid and impure condition of the
blood, which circulating through these most
delicate organs, poisons and irritates their
tissues and invites the scrofulous humors of
the blood, causing the deposition of tubercfes
and establishing local scrofula. Another pro-
life exciting cause of the development of
scrofulous diseases of the lungs, or tubercu-
lar consumption, is Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
which extending along the mucus lining mem
brane 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 to deposit its burden of
impurities in these organs. Consumption
itself is not so often hereditary as is gener-
ally supposed. That condition of low vital
ity may be transmitted from parents to chill
dren is unquestionably true. 1t is this def
cheney Of vitality which is inherited-a weak
ness which makes nutrition imperfect, and
-O~-3~~ ~
sands 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 tor
pid and but very imperfectly pours off the
effete, poisonous materials 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. Pain in the
right side, in the region of the liver and SYM
pathetic pain in the shoulders and spine, and
through the lungs, is generally complained of.
The patient has a dry, hacking cough-that
liver Cough! Small minute tubercles are de-
veloped in the lungs, and perhaps exist for
monthly all unknown to their victim. Nothing
is done to remove the tubercles by the ordi-
nary 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 poi
sonous materials in the blood which cause the
tubercles must be thrown off by exciting the
liver to action. Vitality must be supported
the system nourishe1 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
a symptom of the real disease, is relieved
You thereby strike at the root of incipient CEN
sumption and cure the patient
From the properties and remedial effects of
my Golden Medical Discovery, the reader will
readily understand why it has been SO success
full in curing this fatal malady.
With it I have arrested the hacking and
harassing cough, the night sweats and hectic
fever of the consumptive invalid snatchea
from the jaws of death and restored to health
and happiness many who, but for my Dissolve
ry 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 Consumption, the
scourge of the human family, may in it's early
stages be promptly arrested and permanently
cured. I 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 de-
void of all conscience, aim to humbug the af-
ficted that they may sell their often worse
than worthless compounds
But if my Golden Medical Discovery is en-
ployed in the first or early stages of the dis
ease, know from ample observation and &C.
tual tests in hundreds of cases, that it will
positively arrest the disease and restore health
and strength. From its wonderful power over
this terrible disease, 1 thought strongly of
calling it ConsumptiYe cure; but from the
fact that it is a perfect specific for the sore
throat and hoarseness to which ministers and
other public speakers and singers are subject,
and also fo~ bronchitis, and all SeUere coughs
and is an invaluable remedy for diseases of
the Liver, and also as Blood Purifier, I de-
cided not TO apply to it a name which might
mislead and prevent it's use in other diseases
for which it is SO admirably adapted. I wish
to mention most wonderful nutritive proper
ty which it possesses, and which so peculiarly
adapts it to the wants Of the consumptiye and
the scrofulous. The nutritive properties pos
sessed by Cod Liver Oil are trif1ing when COM
pared with those possessed by my Discovery.
1t is astonishing to see how it builds up the
solid muscle, and increase the flesh and weight
of those whose systems are reduced below the
usual standard of perfect health The fol-
lowing testimonial fully confirms all that 1
