clings to his shadow, and that cinging
shadow is the shadow Of death.
There are forms of disease which
seem to have proclaimed VENDETTA, or
blood feud, against the human race. II
is peculiarly so in the case OF consump-
ton which, often, as in the vendetta,
follows out the blood feud with an en-
tire family, striking them one py one,
until all are eXterminated.
One-sixth of all deaths are due to
consumption, and the saddest thlns
about this disease is that its victims by
choice are the budding woman the
young man just girding himself for the
race of life, the society bud and the
college graduate.
The law of our land forbids and pre-
vents the barbarism OF the VENDETTA.
Why should not law step in between
the victims of this other blood feud and
the fatal stab at the lungs? The law
does step in; the law of Nature, the
highest of all law. By every canon OF
that law, by every responsive human
instinct it is repugnant to reason that
this blood feud should be carried to its
extreme result without hope and with
out help The best and wisest of stuA
dents have felt this and have given
time and study in the effort to discover
something which might arrest the steps
Of the destroyer. 1t has been left 1or
DR.. r. V Pierce, for more than thirty
years chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
of Buffalo N Y, to offer to humanity,
in his famed Golden Medical Discov-
cry" the remedy so many have sought
in vain.
The remarkable cures wrought by
this remedy are matters of record and
of reference These things were not
done in a corner" Take the following
case as an example:
twenty-five years ago, when / was
thirteen years old, 1 had what the doc
tor called consumption" writes Mrs.
Ella Taylor Dodge, matron Of the Home
for Missionaries Children, Morgan
Park, ILL.,, box 165. He told my
mother that nothing could be done for
me- excepting to make me as comfort
able as possible. The pastor of the
NJ E. church in the place where lived
heard of my condition, and although
he was not acquainted with our fam
lily, he called, and during the call he
asked my mother if she would allow
me to take medicine if he would send
1t to me. She thought that it could
do no harm If it did no good, so he
sent a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery Before the bottle
was empty my friends saw little i'm
provement in my health, whereupon
another bottle was bought. 1 can't
say now just how much l took, but l
improved steadily and to-day am
well, strong woman, as you may mag
inc I must be to have the care of this
home / now have a child under my
care and when she takes cold 1t settles
in the larynx. 1 at first used medi-
cines which her mother suggested be-
fore leaving her, but nothing did the
least good till I-gave your Golden Med
ical Discovery 1 have unbounded faith
in It,"
we will not quarrel with doctors over
a definition of disease. They said this
was a case of consumption, and it was
a homeless case. 1t was a case to be
made comfortable" as the condemned
prisoner is made comfortable, when the
death hour is fixed and the death
watch set. And it was a case cured
by DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry. There have been tho sands of
such cases, and ninety eight out of ev-
ery hundred have been cured. The
success of this remedy is due to it's CO.
operation with nature along natural
lines. The common treatment of weak
lungs is based upon the theory that
they need strengthening, and that
strength comes by nourishment. And
so an attempt is made to feed the lungs
with cod liver oil or emulsions, which
differ only in degrees of nastiness. But
it is notorious that, except as pallia-
tive. the oil has little value. The the
ory of nourishment and strength by
nourishment is all right, but 1t needs
broader application. Suppose your
cheeks begin to lose their plumpness,
and you seek to nourish them. Do you
think that saturating them with cod
liver oil, beef extract or any other nour-
ishment would put on flesh? The very
thought is absurd They must be
nourished. but SO must the whole body
be nourished. every part of the body
being fed as well as the cheeks, II they
are to be filled out. This is equally
true of the lungs. 1t Is useless to at
tempt to treat the lungs apart from
the whole body. Weak lungs mean
general weakness, and that general
weakness must be overcome all along
the line If the lungs are to be strength
ened.
That is part Of the secret of the cures
performed by Golden Medical Discoy-
cry" It brings strength all along the
line 1t checks emaciation, controls the
rooted obstinate cough, begins at once
