is peculiarly so in the case of cUnsump-
tion which, often, as in the vendetta.
follows out the blood feud with an en-
tire family, striking them one by one.
until all are exterminated.
Cue-sixth of all deaths are due to
consumption, and the saddcst thing
about this disease is that its victims ny
choice are the budding woman, the
young man Just grding 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 cannon of
that law. by every responsive human
instinct it is repugnant to reason that
this blood fcud should be carried t. its
extreme result without hope and with
ous help. The best and wisest of stud
cnts have felt this and have given time
and study i'm the effort to discover
something which might arrest the steps
of the destroyer. 1t has been left for

Tha remarkable cures wrought by
this remedy are matters of record and
OF reference. These things We're not

twenty-five years ago when | was
thirteen years old l had what the doc

Ella Taylor Dodge. matron of the
Home for Missionaries Children,
Morgan Park. H., Box 16j. He told
my mother that nothing could be done
for me excepting to make me as COM
fortable as possible. The pastor Of the
NJ. T.. Church in the place where
lived heard of my condition and al
though he was not acquainted With our
family, he called, and during the call
he asked my mother If she would allow
me to take a medicine If he would send
il 10 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

faith in it,
We will not quarrel with doctors over
definition of disease. They said this
was "A case of consumption, and IL was
a hopeless case. 1t was case to be
made comfortable" as the condemned
prisoner IL made comfortable, when
the death hour is fixed and the death
watch set. And it was a case cured

hundred have been cured, The

ration with Nature along natural
