venom of the snake, and giving no
warning of their presence, infest the
air we breathe. the water we drink.
Once introduced into the blood they
multiply with fearful rapidity, abso-
lutely eating up the very principle of
life. Compared with a disease germ
rattlesnake is gentleman. lie is a
fair fighter. He tells you to look out.
You have a chance to fight or run.
The disease germ sneaks upon you. 1t
comes while you are sleeping. 1t gains
an entrance to the blood. In a few
days or even hours it multiplies to
millions until your blood is full of it's
Offspring. They go all over the body
seeking a weak SPOT. They don't rat
tle-they strike.
The blood is the life" and the germ
assaults the blood. The microscope re-
veals the germ of malaria, honeycomb-
ing the health by devitalizng the red
corpuscles. You've cracked a hazel nut
sometime and found in it nothing but
dust and little white worm. The
meat OF the nut is all eaten up. The
malaria germ eats out the vital princi-
pie of the corpuscles in just that way.
The result is collapse. The thought of
a rattlesrake frightens US. Yet the
snake is not one tithe as dangerous as
the little germ, mining, like a mole, a
passageway along the veins and arter-
les by which it is preparing to assault
the citadel OF life.
The condition of the blood which in
dicates the undermining presence of
| disease germs is marked by languor a
feeling of sluggishness, dull headache,
| inability to make any effort in business
! and indifference to all forms of pleas
urc. The appetite is bad, the breath
| foul. Disturbing dreams rob the sleep
| of all refreshing influence. There is
| nervousness and irritation. The blood
seems hot in the fingers and there are
hot flushes all over the body. The eyes
| burn, and specks seem to float before
| them. These symptoms will not all be
| present at once, as they belong to diff
| ferent stages of disease nor is it prob
| able any one person will experience
them all. Eat any of such symptoms
| indicate the prompt need of a tonic, a
medicine that will put vitality into the
| blood, enough to give it strength to de-
stroy and cast out the invading germs.
| In such a condition the remarkable
efficacy of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
| Discovery has been proved over and
over again in thousands of cases. Act
ing directly on the organs of digestion
| and nutrition, and upon the blood
making glands, its first influence is to
strengthen the entire system, clearing
away distractions and carrying away
effete matter and poisonous accumla-
tions. The blood is enriched and the
| germs of disease, which like all other
| PARISHES flourish best in filth, forsake
| the blood which is cleansed of its filthy
| accumulations. Golden Medical Dis
covery' works with Nature. It comes
to Nature when she is worn out with
| fighting, Just like a timely reinforce
| ment bringing food and ammunition,
and with new strength and power
| Nature battles against disease and
| oVercomes it.
There is no alcohol. whisky or other
stimulant in DR.. Pierces Golden Medi-
| cal Discovery. That is point to bear
in mind when considering the value OF
a tonic medicine. Most so-called ton
les are loaded with alcohol. They only
| brace up for the time, re-acting injur-
iously upon the diseased system. AL
| Cohol acts like a spur to horse. The
| Discovery" acts like a good sound
| meal. The meal makes more horse.
The spur makes more speed but less
horse with every step. Alcohol may
make more speed for a time, but it
makes less man, because it puts moth
ing into the body to replace the
strength taken out Of it in response to
the spur. Golden Medical Discovery
makes more man with every dose, and
more man means a real gain in
strength.
The remarkable action of this rem
edy, the quickness with which It
searches out disease, is marked in the
following letter.
II was troubled with malarial fever
and was under doctors care for quite
a time" writes Mr.. j. f. Kidd. OF
Parmleysyille, Wayne Co., Ky. "They
had almost given me up. and my suf-
fering was very great My pulse was
weak, breath short and l had severe
pains in back, head and legs. Had
palpitation of heart, and from June 1st
1885, to May 1st, 1895, l was not able to
do days work, | purchased five bot
ties of Dr. T., " Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery and before / had finish
ed taking the first two bottles l was
very much better of my disease of
three years standing. / continued TAX
ing the medicine, and by the time the
fifth bottle was gone i was well man.
can cheerfully recommend DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery TO
any similar sufferer"
Such testimony as this is the most
practical and convincing argument
which can be advanced for the healing
and invigorating power of the Golden
Medical Discovery" Thousands upon
thousands have used it and ninety
eight per cent. of these have found a
cure even when vitality had fallen to a
