CLEARING THE D
which means pure blood for the system an
an active liver to guard the weak points,
We cannot resist the attacks of the germs
of consumption, scrofua, grip malarial
fevers and many other diseases Of germ
origin.
If there is a scrofulous condition of the
system catarrh or bronchitis, the germs
are sure to attack the weak points. Once
they have foothold in the breach. they
live and grow in strength and numbers,
ard at the same time make inroads int 0
re!ghboring parts-constantly increasing
their domain. This Is the battle ground for
the individual. Thus it is that in the be-
ginning consumption is not such a seri-
Gus matter to the individual.
1t has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one member
of family had died with consumption
was considered a sure sign that others Of
that family could not escape it. This is
partly true and partly untrue. A man
with weak lungs is likely to transmit that
weakness to his children. But there is nc
reason in the world why the weakness
should be allowed to develop. There Is nc
reason why the lungs should remain weak
Weak lungs predispose a child to coalsump-
tion. They provide a place for germs 10
settle. That is all that is necessary Once
let the germs of disease gain footholG
and they increase with deadly rapidity.
Pretty soon the blood is full Of them, and
so loses Its healthfulness and its strength
giving qualities. If the weakness is "a.
some other organ, the disease will show
itself in that organ. The germs will get
into the blood, just the same, and the
body will begin to lose its strength. We
speak particularly of consumption, be-
cause it is most common, because
it causes more than one-siXth Of all
the deaths in the world.
If there Is weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation Of a house, the owner OF the
house clears out the decaying material,
supplants it with new, strong stuff. That's
all there is to do. That is all that is neces-
sary to do. 1t saves the house and makes
it perfectly solid again.
This is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs. Keep them full Of rich, red, whole
some blood, and the weakness will disap-
pear. Decayrg tissues will be thrown off
and new material will be added until the
lungs are well and perfectly strong again
This is the thing that DR.. Pierce's Colder
Medical Discovery does.
|; Ninety-eight per cent of all cases of con
sumption can be completely and perman
emily cured. There is mo doubt about it
The statement Is not made recklessly, bu
after the experience of thousands ha'
made it an indisputable fact. Consump
| ton is not a disease of the lungs. 1t Is {
disease of the blood, which, in weak
| lunged people manfests' itself by the form
alton of tubercleS IN the lungs and th
wasting away of lung tissue. The cur
of consumption is simple. 1t consists n
| the administration of a medicine that vii
| assist the lungs in throwing off tuber
culous matter, and that will purify and ell
rich the blood so that this refuse matte
will be replaced by strong, healthy tissue
That sounds like a very simple operation
and yet consumption baffled the combined
medical skill of the whole world for hun
| dreds of years. Consumption was con
sidered incurable until the advent of DR.
| Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Th
great remedy is the most wonderful blood
purifier and stre ngthener that the worl,
has ever known. 1t is the result of year
