The murderer who, at dead of night,
creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
mangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread There is murderer
abroad who yearly Stays one-sixth of all the
human race who go down to untimely deaths
This dread monster is called consumption.
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious. First there is slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assimilated The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve.
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. > In this condition they offer a good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them
This operation is promptly reversed bv
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. 1t builds ND
and purifies the blood 1t makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old. inert mat
ter which it causes to be carried off. It
drives out all disease germs. Thousands of
cases given up as hopeless have been cured.
