That is lower than at any time since

This is, no quack nostrum, but the
prescription Of regular and successful
city physician ofextensive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some years 10 our own families
with inYariable success.
During the late war it was given to
many OF our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar.
rhea, caused by change of water, un.
healthy and improperly cooked food.
and in every case it was used with the
best results,
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, and we recon.
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned.
Every family should have bottle of
this Cordial ready for imm ediate use. A
single dose Of only tew drops in the
early stage of these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find thi
a valuable article. The vials are small
and strong, and can be carried without
Inconvenience.

Come now and let us Reason Together

Why do people so frequently say to DR..
Pierce, 81 suppose your Golden Medical
Discovery cures everything? Because it
has been the practice of knavish charlatans
to manufacture worthless nostrums and at
tempt to dupe the ignorant and credulous
by recommending them to cure every form
of disease. To such an extent has this been
practiced that it is no wonder that many
have acquired prejudices against all adver-
tised remedies. But Dr. Pierce does not
advertise his standard preparations as cure
alls, does not claim that they will perform
miracles, but simply publishes the fact that
they have been developed as specifics for
them, after having tested their efficacy in
many hundred cases with the most gratify-
ing success. 1t is fact known to every
well informed physician that many single
remedies possess several different proper
ties. Quinine, for instance, has tonic
quality, which suggests its use in cases of
debility; an anti-periodic, by which it is eff
ficacious in ague; and a febrifuge property,
which renders it etficacous in cases of fever.
The result of its administration will also
vary with the quantity given and the cir
cumstances under which it is employed
So, likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery
poSstsseS poIH pccGofdl dnQ dlCeraJlVe or
blood cleansing properties of the highest
order. By reason of these two prominent
properties it cures two classes of diseases.
First, those of the respiratory organs, as
throat, bronchial and lung affections, chron-
ic coughs and asthma, and second diseases
of the blood and glandular system, in which
affections all skillful physicians employ al
teratiyes as in cases of blotches, eruptions,
ulcers, swellings, tumors, assesses, and in
torpor of the liver or fsbiliousness." While
its use is, by its combination of properties,
suggested in cases of pulmonary consump-
ton, yet you need not take it expecting it
will cure you if your lungs are half con-
sumed, nor because it is recommended as a
blood medicine would its proprietor advise
you to take it expecting it to cure cancer.
1t will not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms of disease.

De + Sir-I have heard from very many sources
of the great success of VEGETINE in cases of
Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh,
and other diseases of kindred nature. make no
hesitation in saying tn know VEGETINE to be
the most reliable remedy for Catarrh and General
Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried every supposed remedy that we
could hear Of and with all this she has for several
years been gradually growing worse, and the dis
charge from the mead was excessive and offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced
to take VEGETIN l could see that she was i'm
proving on the second bottle: She continued tax
ing the VEGETINEu untils she had used from twelve
to fifteen bottles am now happy in informing
you and the public Gf you choose to make it pub
lic) that she is entirely cured, and VEGETINE,
accomplished the cure after nothing else would.
Hence feel justified in saying that VEGETINE
is the most reliable remedy, and would advise all
suffering humanity to try it, for believe it to be
good honest vegetable medicine. and shall not
hesitate to recommend it. am, &c., respectfully.
