The great prevalence of this disease and it's
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our
best efforts for it's cure. What is Consumption?
1t is a disease of the lungs produced by an acrid
and impure condition of the blood which
circulating through these most delicate organs,
pOlsOns and rrtates their tissues and invites
the scrofulous hrlmors of the blood, causing
the deposition of tubercles and establishing
local scrofua. Another prolific exciting cause
of the development of scrofuous disease of
the lungs, turbercular 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 it's 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 transmitted
from parents to children is unquestionably
true. It is this deficiency Of vitality which is
inherited-a weakness which makes nutrition
imperfect, and leads to the deposit of tubercles
But thoustads Of persons who inherit feeble
vitality would never suffer from consumption
II the functions of the system were kept correct
and the blood pure. When the liver becomes
torpid, and but very imperfectly pours off the
effete poisonous materials Of the blood, the
lungs, as has before been shown, become
lrr1tated. 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 i'll 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
developed III the lungs, and perhaps exist for
months all unknown to their victim Nothing
Is done to remove the tuberces by the ordinary
treatment. Cough is only a symptom of the
disease this is at tbo
treatment.
There is no rational way to cure consumption
except to purify the blood. Those poisonous
materials i'll the blood which cause the tubercles
must be thrown off by exciting the liver to
action. Vitality must be supported. the sys-
tenn nourished and built up, and the develop
ment Of tubercles thus prevented. Remove
the blood poison by restoring 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 incipie,H consumption 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 1t L have arrested the hacking and
harasslng cough, the night sWeats and hectic
fever OF the consumptiye invalid, snatche1 from
the jaws OF death and restored to health and
happiness many who, but for my Discovery,
must soon have fallen victims to that relentless
lo6. Oou DeueYe, HAS IISUlll6Q INTO the rOOLS
and plants from which this wonderful med
lclne 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 permanently cured. [
do not wish to delude, fiatter, and then disap-
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 GOLDEN Medical Discovery is en-
ployed il the first or early stages of the dis
ease, [ know from ample observation and actual
tests III hundreds Of cases. that it will positively
arrest the disease and restore health and
! strength. From It's wonderful power over this
| terrible disease, [ thought strongly Of calling
1t my Consumptiye cure !; but from the fact
that 1t IS perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoIrseness 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 a Blood Purifier, I decided
not to apply to it name which might nislead
and prevent it's use in other diseases for which
1t 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 nutr1tlve properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trifing when compared with
those possessed by my Discovery It is aston
shing 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
Consumption. ,...r...s .-.
