"For the blood Ts the LIfe.0


See Deuteronomy xii. %. The blood be-
ing the source from which the system Is
built up and from which we derive our
mental as well as physical capabilities, how
important that II should be kept pure! II
it contain vile, fostering poisons, all organic
functions become enfeeblcd. Settling upon
important organs, as the lungs, liver and
kidneys, the effect is most disa astrous.
Hence 1t behoovcs all to keep their blood in
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 n large proportion of all dis
eases Is bad blood. Now, DIR. Pierce does
not wish to place his Golden Medical Discov-
cry in the catalogue of quack patent nos
trums by recommending 1t to cure every
disease, nor does he so recommend 1t; on
the contrary, there are hundreds of diseases
that he acknowledges ii will not cure; but
what he does claim is this: that there is but
one form of blood disease thatitwill not cure,
and that disease is cancer. He docs not
recommend his Discovery for that disease,
vet he knows it to be the most searching
ood-clcanscr yet discovered, and that 1t
viii free the blood and system of all other
blood -poisons, he they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Medical Discovery is
wdrrdbted by him to cure the worst forms of
Skin Diseases, as all forms OF Blotches,
Pimplcs and Eruptions; also all Glandular
SWGlllngS, ana inc WOTSJ IOTll Ol OCTOlulOuh
and liberated Sores of the Neck, Legs or

Dear SH'-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swcllings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually

rotten with disease. In 1871 a swelling
broke on her hip, discharging large quaint
tics, and since that time there are several
openings. Have had five doctors, at an ex'

good but surgical operation.
