of all cases Of CONSUMPTION can, jf taken In
the earlier stages Of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like n bold assertion 10

ally In use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and It's filthy emulsions, extract
Of malt whsscy, different preparations of
hypophosphitcs and such like baHiafiveS.
Although by many believed % be incura.
bic, there Is the evidence Of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that, in all It's
earlier stages, consumption IL curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
6enfage o( cases, and we believe, /niiy 2S
per cent. are cured by DR.. Picfce'a Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular NATTER, great losa Of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
DO you doubt that hundreds Of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases Of that
dread and fatal disease1 You need not take
our word for 1t. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever In mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery, ="
but who have been forced to confess that
II surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod.
liver oil and its filthy "emulsionsh and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
short time. Extract Of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations Of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs Of a large number OF
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of I6o
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

THE NEW DIPHTHERIA CURE.
Remarkable Showing of It's Efficacy
Demand Exceeds the Supply.

oemttnu ENceeus the Supply.
Among the reports coming TO the Depart.

the new serum treatment for rdiphtheria, IL one
from Consul General Charles DE Kay, at Der.

the article has been so great that the hospl.
tails ran out OF II In September. This had
singular effect on the death rate. While foi
diphtheria In children under four, tho most
difficult sort, the rate had sunk to II per cent
before the exhaustion of the store of serum,
II rose during October 10 60 per cent.
The serum is costly, because establishments
for Its production are few; II takes long
whileto prepare, and must be had compare.
lively fresh. 1t IL given out that II takes ai
least nine months, and sometimes yenr to
to get the animas-all under three years old

nish much blood at a time-say two quarts.
1t must be carefully fed between dates OF tap.
ping, and as In time the strength OF its blood
as means of n cure gives out, 1t is necessary
to 20 over again the process Of cultivating the
bacillus. Absolute certainty is not ascribed
to the cure, and especially cases In which
other diseases are present should not be con-
sidered a fair test OF its virtues. 1t Is not at
