When a man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing
He consults this doctor and that doctor
He INDUCES in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse
That is the story of most censumptives.
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable. A thirty years
test of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures o8
per cent. of all cases of consumption, if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease
before the lungs are too far wasted In
consumptive there is a weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach
A consumptive never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out. The Golden

the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all

not urge you to take an inferior substitute.
