The great prevalence of this disease, and It's
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our
best efforts for its cure. What is Consump-
ton? 1t is disease ofthe lungs produced pg
an acrid and impure condition of the BLOOD
which, circulating through these most dehcate
organs, poisons and irritates their tissues ana
invites the serofulous 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 mucous lining membrane OF the
throat, trachea and bronchial tubes, finally at
tacks the substance of the lungs, and here es-
tablishes 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 generally supposed
That a condition of low vitality may be trans
mitted from parents to children Is unques-
tionably true. 1t is this deficiency of vitality
which is inherited-a weakness which makes
nutrition imperfect, and leads to the deposit
of tubereles. But thousands 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 torpid, and but very imper-
fectly pours off the effete, poisonous materials
of the blood, the lungs, as has before been
shown, become 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 sympathetic pain in the shoulders
and spine, and through the lungs, is generally
complained of. The patient has dry, hack
ing coueh-that liver Cough! Small minute
tubercles are developed in the lungs, and per-
haps exist for months ali unknown to their
victim. Nothing is done to remove the tuber-
cles by the ordinary treatment. Cough is
only a 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 pols-
| onous materials in the blood which cause the
tubercles must be thrown off by exciting
the liver to action. Vitality must be sup
ported, the system nourished and built up,
and the development of tubereles thus pre-
vented Remove the blood poison by restor-
ing the action of the liver, and the cough,
which is only symptom of the real disease,
| is relieved. You thereby strike at the root
| of incipient consumption and cure the pa
tient.
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 have arrested the hacking and
harrassing cough, the night sweats and hec-
| tic fever of the constructive invalid, snatched
| from the Jaws of death and restored to health
and happiness many who, but for my Discov-
erv. must soon have fallen victims to that re-
lentless foe. God, / believe, has instilled into
the roots and plants from which the wonder
full medicine is extracted, the healing proper
ties, by the use of which Consumption, the
scourge of the human family, may in its early
stages be promptly arrested and permanently
cured. / 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 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
| employed in the first or earlier stages of the
disease, 1 know from ample observation and
actual test 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 my Consumptive cure;
but from the fact that it is perfect specific for
the sore throat, and horseness to which min
listers and other public speakers and singers
are subject, and also for Bronchitis and all
seuere c0ugbs, and is an invaluable remedy
for diseases of the Liver, and also as Blood
Purifier, decided not to apply to it any name
which might mislead and prevent its use in
other diseases for which it is so admirably
adapted. wish to mention most wonder
full nutritive property which it possesses, and
which so peculiarly adapts it to the wants of
the consumptive and the scrofulous. The
nutritive properties possessed by Cod Liver
Oil are trifiing when compared with those
possessed by my Discovery. 1t is astonishing
to see how it builds up the solid muscle, and
increases the flesh and weight of those whose
systems ale reduced below the usual stand
ard of perfect health. The following testi-
monial fully confirms all that claim for my
Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of Con-
sumption.
