The great prevalence Of this disease, and it's
fatal results, are we'll calculated to enlist our
best Efforts for its cure. What is Consumption?
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 establishing
local scrofula. Another prolific exciting cause
of the development Of scrofulous disease of
| the lungs or turbercular consumption, is
| Chronic Nasal Oatarrh, 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 its burden of impurities in these
organs Consumption itself is not so often
| hereditary as is generally supposed. mat
| condition of low vitality may be transmitted
| from parents to children is unquestlonably
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 blood pure When the liver becomes
| torpid. and but very imperfectly pours oil 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 sym
| pathetic pain in the shoulders and spine, and
| through the lungs is generally complained OF.
The pationt has dry, hacking cough--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 tuberces 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 consumption
except to purify the blood. Those poisonous
materials in the blood which cause the tuber-
cles must be thrown off by exciting the liver to
action. Vitality must be supported, tue sys-
tenn nourished and built up, and the qeVelop-
the blood poison by restoring the action OF the
liver. and the cough. which is only symptom
of the real disease, is relieved. You thereoy
strike at the root Of inctDteht consumption ana
cure the patient. %
nv 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
harassing cough, the night sweats and hectic
fever of the consumptive invalid, snatcheu from
the jaws of death and restored to nealth and
happiness many who, but for my Discovery,
must soon have fallen victims to that relentless
foe. God L 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. l
do not wish to delude, tiatter, 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.
Bat 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
" arrest the disease and restore health and
strength. From its wonderful power over this
terrible disease, l 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 and
also for BronchitiS and all Secere coughs, and
is an invaluable remedy for diseases of the
Liver, and also as a Blood Purifier, decided
not to apply to it a namc which might misleat
and prevent its use in other diseases for whicl
it is so admirably adapted. l wish to mention
a most wonderful nutritive property which il
possesses, and which so peculiarly adapts it tc
the wants of the consumptive and the scrofu
lous. The nutritive properties possessed b!
Cod Liver Oil are tritllng when compared witt
those possessed by my Discovery. 1t is aston
ishing to see how it builds up the solid muscle
and Increases the flesh and weight of thost
whose systems are reduced below the usua
| standard of perfect health. The following
testimonial fully confirms all that l claim fol
my Golden Medical Discovery in the cure o
Consumption.
