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 1t disease of the lungs pro-
duced 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 humors of
the blood, causing the deposition of tubercles
and establishing local scrofula. Another pro-
life exciting cause of the development of
scrofulous disease of the lungs, or tuber-
cular 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 to deposit its burden of
impurities in these organs. Consumption it
self is not so often hereditary as is generally
supposed. That condition of low Vitality
may be transmitted from parents to children
Is unquestionably true. 1t is this de-
ticiency of vitality which is inherited
weakness which makes nutrition
imperfect, and leads to the deposit of tuber-
cles. But thousands of persons who inherit
feeble vitality would never suffer from con-.

Pain In the right side, in the region of the

tubercles by the ordinary treatment. Cough

There Is no rational way to cure consump-

the jaws of death and restored to health and
happiness many who. but for my Discovery
must soon have fallen victims to that relentless
foe. God, | believe, has instiled into the

point the afflicted by asserting that this can be
accomplished when the lungs are half con-
sumed, 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 if my GOit3ea Medical Discovery is en-
ployed in the first early stages of the disease

tests in hundreds of cases, that it will positive

terrible disease thought strongly of calling

that 1t is perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoarseness to which ministers and other
pnblic speakers and singers are subject, and
also for Bronchitis. and all ssUere coughs. and
is an invaluable remedy for diseases of the
Liver, and also as a Blood Purifier, decided
not to apply to it name which might mislead
and prevent its use in other diseases for which
it is so admirably adapted. wish to mention
most wonderful nutritive property which it
possesses, and which so peculiarly adapts it to
the wants Of the consumptive and the scrofu-
lous. The nutritive properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trifing 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 claim for
my Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of
