CONSUMPTION.
BY DIR. r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., WORLDS DIS
PENsARY. BUFFALO, NY.

The great prevalence OF this disease, and its
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our
best Efforts Tor its cure. What is Consump-
ton! 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 irritates their Tissues and
invites the scrofulous humors Of the blood,
causing the deposition of ubercles and estab-
fishing local scrofuls. Another prolific excit-
ing cause OF the development Of scrofulous
disease OF the lungs, or iubercular 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 as to invite the
blood to deposit its burden Of impurities In
these organs. Consumption itself il not 80
often hereditary as is generally supposed.
That condition OF low vitality may be trans
mitted from parents 10 children il unquestion-
ably 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 who
inherit feeble vitality would never suffer from
consumption il the functions Of the system
we're kept correct and the blood pure. When
the liver becomes torpid, and but very impcr-
fectly pours of the effete, poisonous materials
OF the blood, the lungs. as has before been
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 sympathetic pain in the shoulders
and spine, and through the lungs is gener-
ally complained OF. The patient has a dry,
hacking ceugh-that liver Cough Small
minute tubercles are developed IN the lungs,
and perhaps exist for months all unknown to
their victim. Nothing is done to remove the
tubercles by the ordinary 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 nourished and built up, and the de-
velopment of tubercles thus prevented. Re
move the blood poison.by restoring tho action
Of the liver, and the cough, which is only
symptom of the real disease, is relieved You
thereby strike at the root Of incipiem consunlp-
ton and cure the patient.
From the properties and remedial effects OF
my Golden Medical Discovery, the reader will
readily understand why it has been 30 sue
cessful in curing this fatal malady.
With 1t have arrested he 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-
lentless foe. God, believe. has instilied into
the roots and plants from which this wonder
full medicine is extracted the healing proper
ties, by the use Of which Consumption, the
scUurge Of the human family may in it's early
stages be promptly arrested and permanently
cured. / do not wish to delude 1atter, and
then disappoiBt the afflicted by asserting that
this can be accomplished when the lungs are
half consumed, as many do, wIo, being devoid
Of all conscience, aim to humbug the afflicted
that they may sell their often worse than
worthless compounds.
But if my Golden Medical Discovery is en-
ployed in the first early stages of the disease,
l know from ample observation and actual
tests in hundreds Of cases, that it will positive
ly arrest the disease aud restore health and
strength. From its wonderful power over this
terrible disease, thought strongly OF calling
1t 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 all Seuere coughs, and
is an invaluable remedy for diseases OF the
Liver, and also as Blood Purifier, l decided
not to apply to it name which might misfesd
and prevent its use in other diseases for which
it is 30 admirably adapted. l wish to mention
most wonderful nutritive property which it
possesses, and which 30 peculiarly adapts it to
the wants II the consumptive and the scrofu-
lous. The nutrtive properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trifling when compared with
those possessed by my Discovery. 1t is aston
ishing to see how 1t builds up the solidmuscle,
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
Consumption:
