You watch its development with expectant
solicitude-the. choice, exquisitely- moulded
bud which promises to unfold with the per.

adorn the drawing room vase, and anticipate
the pleasure of showing it to your flower.
loving friends. But some morning you find
its head dropping, its fragrance Ned, and an
ugly purple spot on one side of the delicate
fy-tinted petals. 1t is the poets ''canker in
the bud" How often the loathsome eanker
blights the cherished Infant blossoms" in
our household ,ardens-those human buds
which give earnest of brilliant future. The
noisome canker, SO long concealed-serofuls
at length reveals its dreaded presence and
to our bright hopes succeeds the most ag.
onizing fear, for We know the fatal sequel it
portends-puimOnary consumption. 1t Is
estimated by eminent medical authorities
that at least one-ffth of mankind are afiict-
ed with this insidious malady. But its raw
ages are 80 secret, that even its victims are
unaware Of its presence until it suddenly
discloses itself in some OF its myriad and
ofttimes fatal forms. A slight cutaneous
eruption is often the only indicator Of its
presence. The only means Of extermlnating
this disease from the system is by athorough
course Of constitutional treatment. This
treatment must fulfill three indications,
namely. promote nutrition, alter or purify
the blood, and arrest Reorganization OF the
tissues and the formation Of tubercles No
more efficient Alternative can be employed for
these purposes than Dr. Pierce's Golden Med.
ical Discovery. While imparting strength
and tone to the digestive organs it cleanses
the blood and heals the diseased tissues.
Test its virtues ere the deadly canker has
blighted the life you prize.

=
Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensions of any other
medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Almanac containing
the certificates of many persons OF the highest
spectability, who have been restored to health sf
ter being pronounced incurable by physicians
of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pumonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences
will show; but the cure is often promoted by the
employment Of two other remedies which D..
Seheack provides for the purpose. These addi-
tional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. BY the timely use of these medi-
cines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck certi-
fes that most anV case OF Consumption may be
cured.
Dr.. Schenck is professionally at his principal Of
fee, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia
