been the practice of knavish charlataus to
manufacture worthless nostrums and attempt
to dupe the ignorant and creduous by recon-
mending them to cure every form of disease
To such an extent has this been practiced
that it is no wonder that many have acquired
preiudccs against all advertised remedies.
But DR.. Pierce does bot advertise his stand
| ard preparations as "cure.aIl s,' does Dot
claim that they will perform miracles, but
simply publishes the fact that they have
been developed as specifics for certain forms
of disease for which he recommends them,
after having tested their efficacy in many
| hundred cases with the most gratifying sue
| cess 1t is fact known to every we'll
| informed physician that many single remedies
possess several different properties. QuInine,
| for instance, has a tonic quality, which sug-
gests its use in cases of debility; an anti
| periodic, by which it is ef6cacious in ague
| and febriiuge property, which renders 1t
| efficacious in cases of fever. 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 cleansing
| properties of the highest order. by reason
of these two prominent properties it cures
two classes of diseases. First, those of the
| lung affections, chronic coughs and asthma,
| and second, diseases of the blood and gandu-
| lar system, in which affections all skillGul
| physicians employ alternatives, as in cases OF
| blotches, eruptiOns, ulcers, swellings, tumors,
| assesses, and in torpor of tho liver or "bil-
iousness" While its is, by its combina>
ton of properties suggested III cases OF pull
monary consumption, yet you need not take
it expecting it will cure you if your lungs
| are half consumed, nor because it is recon-
mendcd as blood medicine would its proprie>
tor sdvisc you to take, it expecting it to cure
cancer. 1t will not perform miracles, but it
will cure many grave forms of disease.
