| The great prevalence of this disease, and it
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist on
best efforts for its cure. What is Consump
| ton? 1t is disease of the lungs produced
by an acrid and impure condition of thu
blood, which, circulating through these mos
| delicate organs, poisons and irritates thei
| tissues and invites the scrofulous hu
mors of the blood, causing the deposi
| ton of tubercles and establishing loca
scrofula. Another prolific exciting cause
of the development of scrofulous disease Of
| the lungs, or turbercular consumption, il
| 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 de
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 unquestionably true. 1t is this
deficiency of vitality which is inherited
weakness which makes nutrition inn
perfect, 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 cor
rect 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 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 cough-that liver Coughl 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 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.
Remove the blood poison by restoring the &C
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 iaacipient con-
sumption 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 sweats and hectic
fever OF the consumptive invalid snatched from
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
pc promptly arrested and permanently cured.
do not wish to delude, fatter, and then dis
appoint 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 act
ual tests in hundreds of cases that it will DOS
ltively arrest the disease and restore health
and strength. From it's wonderful power over
this terrible disease l thought strongly of call
ing 1t my Consumptive cure; but from the
TACT 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 Seyeye Cotos. and
IS an mvalnahle remedy for diseases of tho
Liver. and also as a Blood Purifier, l decided not
to apply to it name which might mislead and
prevent its use in other diseases for which it
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 nutrltlve properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trifing when compared with
those possessed by my Discovery. It is aston
ishing to see how it builds up the solid mus
cles 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 I
claim for my Golden Medical Discovery in the
cure of consumption:
Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bron.

full Cure.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. IS, 1874.
r. V. PIERCE, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir-I had suffered from Catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years. and for
several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried
many doctors and things with no lasting bene-
fit. In May, '72, becoming nearly worn out
with excessive Editorial labors on paper in
New York city, was attacked with Bronchitis
in a severe form, suffering almost total loss
of voice. L returned home here, but had been
home only two weeks when I was completely
FRUSTRATED with Hemorrhage from the Lungs,
hdUSmg four seOeae bleeding spells aUithisa taoo
apeeltS, and first three inside of mine days. In
the September following / improved sufficient
ly to be able to be about, though in very
feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained
and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before.
Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I
seemed to be losing ground daily. Icontinued
in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily,
until about the first of March, '73, when be-
came so bad as to be entirely confined to the
house. A friend suggested your remedies
But was extremely skeptical that they would
do me good, as I had lost all heart in remedies.
and began to look upon medicine and doctors
with disgust. However, I obtained one of your
circulars, and read it carefully, from which I
came to the conclusion that you understood
your business, at least. | finally obtained a
quantity of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, your
Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and
commenced their vigorous use according to
directions. To my surprise soon began to i'm
prove. The Discovery and Pellets in a short
time brought out asevere eruption, which con-
tlnued for several weeks. / felt much better
my appetite Improved, and gained in strength
and flesh. In three months every vestige of
the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly
disappeared, had no Cough whatever and had
entirely ceased to raise blood; and, contrary
to the expectation of some of my friends, the
cure has remained permanent. | have had no
more Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am
entirely free from Catarrh, from which 1 had
suffered so much and so long. The debt of
gratitude | owe for the blessing I have re-
ceiyed at your hands knows no bounds. l
am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience,
that your medicines will master the worst
forms of that odious disease Catarrh, as well
as Throat and Lung diseases. 1 have recon-
mended them to very many and shall ever
speak in their praise. Gratefully yours,
