A frequent but fatal mistake.

As the lrishman, who had just landed and

those who fancy that cough or cold will cure
itself, and refuse to use DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. often die with consump-
ton. This great remedy is an unsurpassed
pcctoral and blood purifier. It speedily
cures cough or cold, and consumption in
its early stages readily yields to it. 1t has
no known equal in controlling and curing all
scrofulous tumors, ulcers, and eruptions.
Some fancy because the Discovery IS ddrej-
fised to cure cide range Of diseases IL can
not cure any. Now. let lis see. Suppose a
surgeon be setting limb, could he not
truhiuly say that his treatment would grad
ually overcome all faintness, nausea, dizzi-
ness, weakness and lameness? Each symptom
different, yet all dependent upon the same
cause. BY this process the Golden Medical
Discovery cures many diseases, though all
are dependent upon impoverished blood, and
