fatal results, are well calculated to enlissaour
best efforts for its cure. What is ConsUmp-
| ton? 1t is disease Of the lungs prodlced
by an acrid and impure condition Of the
blood, which, REGULATING through these most
delicate organs, poisons and irritates heir
| tissues and invites the scrofulous hu-
mors of the blood, causing the deposi-
| ton of tubercles and establishing heal
scrofula. Another prolific exciting cause
of the development of scrofulous disease is
the lungs, or turbercular consumption, of
Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which, extending abng
the mucous lining membrane of the thDat,
trachea and bronchial tubes, finally attacksthe
substance of the lungs, and here establiihes
such an irritation as to invite the blood t6de-
post its burden Of impurities IN these organs.
Consumption itself is not so often hereditary
as is generally supposed. That condition of
low vitality may be transmitted from parents
to children is unquestiona bly, true. 1t ithis
deficiency of vitality which Is inheritd-
a weakness which makes nutrition i'm
perfect, and leads to the deposit of tuberles.
But thousands of persons who inherit feeble
vitality would never suffer from consum[tion
rect and the blood pure. When the liver
becomes torpid, and but very imperfsctly
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 IF the
liver, and sympathetic pain in the shoulders
and spine, and through the lungs, is generally
complained of. The patient has dry,
hacking cough-that liver Cough,i 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 Or
binary 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
development of tubercles thus prevented.
Removethe blood poison by restoring the ac-
ton of the liver, and the cough, which is only
a symptom Of the real disease, is relieved. You
thereby strike at the root Of izcipjent c0'aSu1np
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 so success
full in curing this fatal malady.
With it l have arrested the hacking and
harassing cough, the night swcats and hectic
fever of the consumptive invalid, snatchedfrom
the jaws of death and restored to health and
happiness many who, but for my Discovery,
must soon have fallen victims to that relent-
less foe. God | believe, has instilled into the
roots and plants from which this wonderful
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 permanently cured.
do not wish to delude, tlatter, 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 in the first or early stages of the dis
ease, know from ample observation and actual
tests in hundreds of cases that it will positive
ly 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 1t 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 Seyere cOugHS and is
an Invaluable remedy for diseases of the Liver,
and also as Blood Purifier, I decided not to
apply to it name which might mislead and
prevent its use in other diseases for which it
is so admirably adapted. l wish to mention a
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 Oilare trifing when compared with
those possessed by my Discovery. tits aston
ishing to see how it builds up the solid mus
Giles, and increases the flesh and weight of
those whose systems are reduced below the
usual standard of perfect health. The fol
lowing testimonial fully confirms all that
claim for my Golden Medical Discovery in the
cure of Consumption:
