A panacea, or 'cure-all, is one of the
myths Of the age of superstition. DR.. R. v.
Pierce does not recommend any one or even
his whole list of standard remedies as ade-
quate to cure every disease. For severe lin
gering coughs, bronchial, throat, and chronic
lung diseases, he believes his Golden Medical
Discovery is unsurpassed, but it will not cure
you if your lungs are half wasted by con-
sumption. The Discovery not only exercises
a potent infdence over pulmonary affections,
by reason of its pectoral properties, but poss-
esses also the most valuable Alternative, or
blood cleansing. properties, and is therefore a
| sovereign remedy in skin and blood atfec-
tons But while it will cure scrofulous and
other ulcers or sores, blotches, pimples, and
eruptions, it will not cure cancer nor does its
manufacturer claim any such merit for it as
is done by proprietors Of other blood cleansing

afflicted into the belief that their preparations
will accomplish impossibilities By reason
