The blood itself being diseased, as it forms
the sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is so
irritating and poisonous that it produces dis
colored brown spots, pimples, blotches, and
other eruptions, sores, biles, carbuncles and
scrofulous tumors. Only a few of the above
symptoms will be likely to be present in any
case at one time.
RATIONAL AND SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT.
large variety of diseased conditions are
produced by liver complaint. By curing the
disease of the liver we remove the cause and
thereby, radically cure, not only the liver COM
plant, but also the various other diseased con-
ditions produced by it.
1t is generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the liver complaint, and
both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms have
been diligently searched to procure the most
drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to
produce powerful effect upon the liver and
rouse the tagging and enfeebled organ. These
medicines are given freely and in large doses,
which keep the liver IN an excited condition
while under their influence This system of
treatment is on the same principle as that of
giving weak and debilitated man large por-
tions of brandy to enable him to do certain
amount of work. Every intelligent person
can readily see, or imagine, the condition the
man would be in when the work was done and
the brandy withheld and it is just so with the
liver. When the stimulant is withheld, the
organ rapidly relapses into more torpid or
sluggish and weakened condition than before.
What, then, is wanted? Evidently medicines,
that, while they arouse the liver to action, will
do it, not by an irritating and stimulating eff
feet, as is produced by a dose of great, repul-
sive, sickening, drastic pills, calomel, blue
mass mandrake, or pOdophyllin, but by a
tonic invigorating and strengthening influence
upon that organ. Medicines are wanted that,
while they cause the bile to flow freely from
the liver, as that organ is toned into action,
will not overwork and thus debilitate it, but
will, when their use is discontinued, leave the
liver strengthened and healthy. Such medicines
1 am happy to have been able to discover and
introduce to the afflicted for their relief and
cure. AS remedy for all the various mani
festations of disease resulting from Liver
Complaint" as it is usually termed and as a
blood purifier DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is positively unequaled By it the liver
and stomach are changed to an active, healthy
state, the appetite regulated and restored, the
blood AID secretions thoroughly purified and
enriched, and the whole system renovated and
built up anew.
Its action is mild, yet positive and lasting. 1t
does not simply pGLtidte the disease and relieve
it for the time being, but it produces radical
and lasting benefit.
There are, however, some peculiar constltu-
tions on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, and
instead of taking it in larger doses than two
teaspoonfuls four times day, if that quantity
does not move the bowels twice ia twenty-four
hours take from one to three of DR.. Pierce g
Pleasant Purgative Pellets each day. or just
sufficient to produce the desired relaxation,
which should fall short of cathartic effect.
In fact, the combined use of the Pellets and
the Discovery from the first in the mild doses
which recommend. will be found most effec-
tive in arousing the secretion of the liver, and
subduing congestion and Inflammation of that
organ. Do not use any other laxative or ca
thartic with the Discovery, as none other is so
well calculated to work in harmony with and
assist the Discovery in its congenial operation
Other cathartics will frequently counterfeit
and interfere with, or neutralize the power
and good effects of the Discovery; they should
not therefore be used. These little PurgatiVe
Pellets or Sugar Coated, Root and Herbel
Juice, Anti-bilious Granules, on the other
hand, are 80 compounded as to harmonic
with and assist the Discovery.
Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists
the world over.
