It's done by DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifes and enriches the blood,
cleanses, repairs, and strengthens
the system, and restores health and
vigor. AS an appetizing, restora-
tive tonic, it sets at work all the
processes of digestion and nutri-
ton, and builds up flesh and
strength. It's the only Blood and
Liver Remedy that's guaranteed, in
every case, to benefit or cure. If it
doesn't do all that's claimed for it,
the money is promptly refunded.
But it keeps its promises - that's
the reason it can be sold in this

larger profit. There's nothing at
all like the "Diseovery."
