ton, he gave up Immediately. Consump-
ton vas considered q necessarily fatal dis
use. Il was considered iucurable. As soon
as developer enough so that physician
couiN decide th: t it was really consumption,
the pat. .ut was considered as good as dead.
Years ago, DR.. Pierce found out that con-
sumption was No. incurable, that it was nst
necessarily fatal He not only found this
out, but he found out way to cure con-
sumption. He introduced his Golden
Medical Discovery" The Discovery
will cure qS per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption If it is taken according to direc-
tons. Consumption is disease of the
blood. 1t is caused by inpoverishment of
the blood and by the existence of disease
germs in the system. If the body is per
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown Off
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That's the
way consumption begins.
The Golden Medical Discovery"
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption ard
other kindred diseases of the throat, bron-
CHA and lungs. No doubt about it, no ques-
ton about it. 1t has done it in hundreds
and thousands of cases. The Discovery"
is sold at drug stores.

A tired stomach is very much like
a sprained ankle. If you suffer from
any of the symptoms of dyspepsia,
your stomach is tired. 1t needs a
crutch. We must relieve it OF all
work for time, or until it Is res
tored to its natural strength. To
do this successfully, we must use a
food which is already digested out
side of the body, and which will aid
the digestion of other foods which
may be taken with it. Such pro-
duct is the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. The Shakers have utilized the
digestive principles present IN
plants for the manufacture of this
article, and its success has been
truly phenomenal. You can try it
for the nominal sum of 10 cents, as
sample bottles are sold by all drug
gists at this price.
