DON'T HACK, HACK, COUCH, CouGH!-
Cough is symptom by which various diseased
conditions of the throat, bronchial tubes and
lungs manifest themselves. But whether it
arises from the irritation produced in the.
throat and lsrypx by taking cold, from an at
tack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consump-
ton, or from various other causes, nothing
will allay it more speedily or cure it more per-
manently than DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It does not matter whether it be
recent attack, or lingering cough, the Dis
covery is in either case equally well adapted
for its relief and permanent cure. In fact, i.
will cure cough in one half the time neces-
sary to cure it with any other medicine, aud
it does it, not by drying it up. but by remov-
ing .the csuse, subduing the irritation, and
healing the affected parts. No time should
be lost in commencing the use of proper
medicine for tho relief of cough, for unless
this course is pursued, serious and dangerous
disease of the Lungs is liable to result. Gold
