Why do people so frequently siy 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 attempt
| to dupc the ignorant and credulous by recon-
mending them to cure every form OF disease.
To such an extent has this been practised that
it is no wonder that many have acquired pre-
judices against all advertised 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 devel-
| oped as specifics for certain forms OF disease
tested their efficacy in many hundred cases
with the most gratifying success. 1t is TACT
known to every well-informed physician that
many single remedies possess several differ
ent properties. Quinine, for instance, has u
tonic quality, which suggests its use in cases
of debility: an anti-periodic,. by which it il
e1ficacious in ague; and a tebrifuge property,
The result OF Its administration will also vary
with the quantity given and the circumstances
under which it is employed. So, likewise,
the Golden Medical Discovery possesses both
pectoral and Alternative, or blood-cleaDs!ng
properties Of the highest order. By reason'o OF
! classes Of diseases. First, those OF the respi-
| ratory organs, as throat, bronchial, and lung
| affections, chronic coughs and asthma, and
| second, diseases OF the blood and giandular
system, in which affections all skillfnl pLysi-
clans employ Alternatives, as in cases OF blotch-
| es, eruptious, ulcers, swellings. tnmors, ab-
scesses, and in torpor OF the liver or "billio!s-
ness" While its use is, by its combination
| OF properties, suggested in cases Of pulmonary
| consumption, vet you need not take it ex-
pecting it will GU re you if your lungs are halt
| consumed, nor because tits recommended rs
| blood medicine would its proprietor advise
you to take it expecting it to cure cancer. Il:
will not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms of disease.
