Blood Diseases.

The blood being the source from which our sys-
TENS are built up and from which we derive our
mental as well as physical capabilities, how i'm
portant that it should be kept pure. If it contains
vile fostering poisons all organic functions are
weakened thereby. Settling upon important or
gans, as the lungs, liver kidneys, the effect is
most disastrous. Hence ii behooves every one to
keep their blood in a perfectly healthy condition.
and more especially does this apply this partic-
ular 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 DIR. Pierce does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of
quack patent nostrums by recommending it to
cure every disease, nor does he recommend it,
on the contrary there are hundreds of diseases that
he acknowledges It will not cure but what he does
claim is this that there is but form of blood
disease that il will not cure, and that disease is
cancer. lie does not recommend his Discovery
for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most
searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and that
it will free the blood and system of all other known
blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or min
eral. The golden discovery is warranted by him
to cure the worst forms Of Skin Diseases, as all
forms Of Blotches, Pmples and Eruptions, also all
Glandular Swellings, and the worst form of Scrof-
ulous and liberated Sores of Neck, Legs or other
parts and all scrofulous Diseases of the Bones,
White SwelGngs, Fever Sores, Hip Joint and
Spinal Diseases, all of which belongs to Scrof-
ulous diseases.

W. GROVE STATION, Ia, July II, 1872.
DR.. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine years
ago. Swellings 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 several
openings. Have had five doctors at an expense OF
Sl25, who say nothing will do any good but a
surgical operation.
July 10th, 1873, he writes thus My wife has
certainly received great benefit from the use Of
your Discovery, for she was not able to get oil the
bed and was not expected to live week when she
commenced using it, a year ago. She has been
doing most Of her work for over SIX months. Has
used twenty bottles and is still using it. lIer re
covery is considered as almost miracle, and VIC
attribute ii all to the use of your valuable medi-
cine. l can cheerfuly recommend it as blood
purifier and strength restorer.
