"CANKER IN THE BUD:

You watch its development with ex'
pectant solicitude-the choice, exquis-
itely moulded bud which promises to
unfold with the perfect flower. fou
perhaps think how it will adorn the
drawing-room vase, and anticipate the
pleasure of showing it to your Hover
loving friends. But some morning
you will find its head dropping, its
fragrance fed, and an ugly tinted spot
on one of the delicately tinted petals.
1t is the poets "canker in the bud
How often the loathsome canker
blights the cherished ''IEfant bios
SONS" in our household gardens
those human buds that give earnest of
a brilliant future. The noisome cank-
er SO long concealed - scrofula at
length reveals its dreaded presence and
to our bright hopes succeeds the most
aGoniZing fear, for We know the fatal
sequel it portends-pulmonary con-
sumption. 1t is estimated by eIni-
nent medical authorities that at least
one fifth of mankind are afflicted with
this insidious malady. But its ravages
are so secret. that even its victims are
unaware of its presence until it sudden
ly discloses itself in some of its myriad
and ofttimes fatal forms. 4 slight
cutaneous eruption is often the only
indicator of its presence. The only
means of eXterminating this disease
from the system is by a thorough
course Of constitutional treatment.
This treatment must fulfill three indi
cations. namely, promote nutrition,
alter or purify the blood, and arrest
disorganization of the tissues and the
formation of tubercles. No more eff
ficient alternative can be employed for
these purposes than DR. Pierces Gold
Ell Medical Discovery. While impart-
ing strength and tone to The digestive
organs it cleanses the blood and heels
the diseased tissues. Test its virtues
ere the deadly canker has bIighted the
life you prize
