..For the blood ix the Life >,

See Deuteronomy, xii %. The blood being the
source from which the system is built up, and
from which we derive our mental as well as ply
steal capabilities, how important that it should be
kept pure If it contains vile, fostering poisons,
all org al { functions become enfeebed. Settling
upon important organs, as the lungs, liver and
Kidneys the effect is most disastrous. Hence 1t
behooves all to keep their blood in a perfectly
healthy condition, and more especially does this
apply at this particular season OF the year than at
any other. No matter what the exciting cause
may be, the real cause of large proportion Of all
diseases is bad blood. Now, DR.. Pierce does not
wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catslougue of quack patent nostrums. by recon-
mending 1t to cure every disease, nor does he so
recommend it; on the contrary, there are hum
dreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will not
cure; but what he does claim IS this, that there 10
but one form of blood disease that it will not cure
and that disease is cancer. He does not recon-
mend his Discovery for that disease. vet he knows
it to be the most searching bloodcleanser yet dis
covered, and that it will free the blood and sys-
tenn of all other blood-poisons, be they animal,
vegetable or mineral. The Golden Medical Dis
covery is warranted by him to cure the worst
forms of Skin Diseases, as all forms OF Blotches,
Pimples and Eruptions; also Glandular Swellngs
and the worst form Of Scrotulous and liberated
Sores of the Neck Legs, or other parts, and all
Sci ofulous Diseases of the Bones, as White Swell
ing, Fever Sores, Hip joint and Spinal Diseases,
ali of which belong to Scrofulous diseases.
CoNFIRMED.-HIP-JoINT DISEASE CURED.

Dr. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. y:
| Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine years
ago. Swellngs would appear and disappear on
her hip, and she was gradually becoming reduced
| and her whole system rotten with disease. In
| 1871, swelling broke on her hip discharging
large quantities. and since that time there are sew
eral openings. Have had five doctors, at an ex-
pensc of 1925, who say nothing will do any good
but surgical operation.
July l6, 1873, he writes thus: My wife has
certainly received great benefit from the use of
your Discovery, for she was not able to get off the
bed and was not expected to live week when she
commenced using it, year ago. She has been
doing most of her work for six months Has
used twenty bottles and still using it. Her recov-
cry is considered almost miracle and We at
tribute it all to the Of your valuable medicine.
