In his article Prof. Hewes says:
This dial should serve as a guide to
emphasize the need of specially guard
ing against exposures to at least three
classes of diseases Few persons realize
how very large are the proportion Of
deaths from these three classes of dis
orders. Figures alone do not tell the
story. The wide spaces on the dial be-
tween the lower and upper indicators
should make one realize the fatality of
those diseases as never before, and be
more careful"
1t will be noted on the dial that where
diphtheria and typhoid fever each kill
but $1,000 people, consumption alone
kills 100000 people. Next to consump-
tion in the dread race of death stands
pneumonia, with record of $4,000.
Right at it's heels Is the record of $4,000
for diarrheal diseases.
There Is more than one lesson to be
learned from these figures and from this
dial And there are other facts to be
taken into consideration with them.
For instance, the city of Buffalo, N. Y,
is said to have the smallest death rate of
any city in the wOrld-but twelve in
every one thousand. In other large
cities the death rate runs from twenty to
thirty-five in each thousand.
1t Is significant in this connection that
Buffalo, N. Y, is the headquarters of
The Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, dispensers of the famous family
medicines of DR.. r. v. Pierce. These
family medicines are the product of the
life work of Dr. Pierce, who is probably
the most widely known physician In
America. DIR. Pierce has been in active
practice in Buffalo for over thirty years.
He is chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Medical Institute,
probably the best known medical insti-
tuition in the Vnited States.
Among the family medicines that owe
their origin to DR.. Pierce, one that has
attained world wide fame is known
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. 1t is preventive and cure for the
three classes of diseases that are shown
by Prof. Hewes' dial to cause the death
of more human beings annually than
the other serious ailments taken to-
gether 1t is an unfailing cure for weak
lungs, splitting Of blood, obstinate, lin
gering coughs, bronchitis, throat disease
and kindred affections which If neglect
sumption. 1t purifies the blood and
drives out disease germs. 1t keeps the
lungs renewed by constantly supplying
them with rich, red, arterial blood of
the best quality. 1t clears the lungs
and enables the blood to receive it's nor
NAL amount Of life-giving oxygen. 1t
steadies and strengthens the nerves. 1t
builds up the whole body and makes
G,,v,, ~
build the flabby, unhealthy flesh of cor
above the normal figure. 0
If every person who suffers from bron-
chial or throat troubles or is threatened
with consumption would resort to this
remedy, the number Of deaths credited
to consumption on Prof. Hewes' dial
would be enormously reduced.
This great remedy, by its action
through the blood upon the lungs
is also the best preventive and protec-
tion against pneumonia. 1t will not cure
pneumonia after it has gained foot
hold, for the simple reason that it is an
acute disease, and once started, must
run it's course. But If people. who have
weak lungs, narrow chests and hered-
itary tendency to lung troubles would
build themselves up by taking Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
chances of an attack of pneumonia
would be reduced to a minimum. The
Golden Medical Discovery" builds up
and strengthens not only the lungs but
the whole body, and gives to the Weak
constitution greatly added powers of
resistance.
Nearly all diarrheal diseases are due
to neglected disorders of the digestion.
When the stomach Is right and performs
it's proper functions, and the large in
testines are right and perform their
proper functions, there is little danger
of diarrheal disease. The first work
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is to correct all disorders Of the di-
gestion. 1t gives zest and snap to the
appetite. 1t makes grown. people as
hungry as when they were boys and
girls. It facilitates the flow of digestive
juices. 1t assists the blood to take up
the proper elements Of the food that go
to build new and healthy tissues
throughout the body. In a word, it
sees to it that the whole process Of di-
gestion Is properly performed, and un-
der these circumstances, there is little
if any danger of an attack from any
diarrheal disease.
Thus the people of this country have
at their command A simple. harmless,
but effective remedy that may be pro-
cured from any high class medicine
dealer, that Is thoroughly reliable pro-
lection against the three classes Of dis
eases that cause the largest proportion
of the annual death rate. The fact that
the city of Buffalo, N. Y, where this
marvellous medicine il made and sold
has death rate of but twelve in a thou
sand, whereas other large cities average
from twenty to thirty-five In q thou
sand, is most significant.
The merits Of DR.. Pieroe's Golden
Medical Discovery are net based upon
mere assertions. Thousands all over
the country who we're in imminent dan
ger of death from the dread diseases
that take precedence in Prof. Hewes'
dial, have testified to their speedy and
permanent recovery under the use Of
this great medicine. These testimonials
are open to investigation by any person
uhn Wishas to aae them.
