The great prevalence of this disease, and its
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our
best efforts for 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 tubercles and estab-
fishing local scrofula. Another prolific excit-
ing cause of the development of serOfulous
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 tubercles. But thousands of persons who
inherit feeble vitality would never suffer from
consumption if the functions of the system
were kept correct and the bloodpure. 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
Ianguid, 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 a dry, hack
ing cough-that liver Cough Small minute
tubercles are developed in the lungs, and per-
haps exist for months all 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 consum p
ton except to purify the blood. Those pols-
onous materials i'll 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 tubercles thus pre-
vented Remove the blood poison by restor-
ing the action 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 consumption and cure the pa

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 consumptiye invalid, snatched
from the jaws of death and restored to health
and happiness many who, but for my DiScOv-
cry, must soon have fallen victims to that re-
lentless foe. God, believe, has instiled into
the roots and plants from which this Won
derful medicine is extracted, the healing
properties, by the use of which Consumption,
! the scourge of the human family, may in its
early stages be promptly arrested and perma-
nentlv cured. l do not wish to delude, fiat
ter, and then disappoint the afflicted by as
sorting that this can be accomplished when
the lungs are half consumed, as many dc
who, being devoid OF III, conscience, aim to
humbug the afflicted that they may sell their
| often worse than worthless compounds.
But if my Golden Medical Discovery Il
employed in the first or earlier stages of the
disease, | know from ample observation and
actual tests in hundreds of cases, that it viii
! positively arrest the disease and restore
| health and strength. From its wonderful
power over this terrible disease, | thought
| strongly of calling it 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, ant
| also for bronchitis and all Serere 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 misleaC
and prevent its use in other diseases for which
! it is so admirably adapted. Iwish to mention
a most wonderful nutritive property which i
possesses, and which so peculiarly adapts it t.
