what he finally died of so long as he
was saved to live a long. useful. and
happy life? 1t doesn't matter much to
us and to our families and friends
what we die of when We've lived out
our life. Consumption, too, begins in
the blood. The first need of every
weakly constitution is blood, blood for
muscles, sinews, nerves, arteries: blood
for the servant matter, and blood for
the master-mind. 1t is a notable facr
that when every student of physiology
could tell you just what blood is to
brain and body. that it was reserved
for one man to follow out the fact to
its logical conclusion in the treatment
of disease DR.. r. V. Pierce chief
consulting physician to the 1nvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buff
falc. n. Y, was the man for the emer-
sency. There is always one man who
meets the need of the times. who
fastens on to fact and follows it until
he reaches the goal of practical results.
From the days of Adam down. men
have lain under apple trees and
watched the falling fruit. But only
Isaac Newton followed the falling
apple to the logical conclusion of
sravitation. Everybody knows the
facts about the blood. but only DR.
Pierce followed them to the conclusion
that if disease began in the blood. the
cure must begin there also. That was
the first step. The next step was to
find the needed cure to
WIN THE RACE.
Aside from the fact that DR.. Pierce IS
a physician by birth. physician by
choice, and physician by training. he
had facilities enjoyed by no other ply
stefan living or dead. AS head of the
Worlds Dispensary and Surgical Insti-
tute. in constant practice and consulta-
tion. treating succe ssfully hundreds OF
thousands of cases, many of them the
so-cal!ed hopeless cases. given up by
every other physician. he was in a
position to make practical proof of his
knowledge. His success. the record Of
his triumph, is written in tens of thou
sands of testimonials received from
greatful men and women.
The following are fair samples Of
many thousands of letters received by
Dr. Pierce:
1T was near the little town of Leroy.
W. Va. and during the month OF
March, 1896. that a young man lay pale
and motionless upon twhat the neigh
bors called) his dying bed. Disease of
the lungs. liver complaint. kidney
trouble, and pleurisy We're fast hasten
ing him to the grave. The doctors had
given him up to die. The neighbors
said. He cannot live oh, l would not
care to die he said. were it not for
leaving my dear wife and little child,
but know that l must die a brother
had presented him with three bottles of
medicine, but he had no faith in pa
tent medicines but, after the doctors
had given him up to die and he had
banished every hope of recovery, he
said to his wife. Dear wife. am going
to die and there can be no harm now in
taking that medicine. l will begin it's
use at once He did begin to use it
and at first he grew worse, but soon
there came change. Slowly but sure
~ he got better. Today that man is;
strong and healthy and he owes his
life to that medicine. What was the
medicine? 1t was Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. and /, Luther Mar
