Il
shadow is the shadow Of death.
There are forms of disease which
seem to have proclaimed a vendetta, or
blood feud, against the human race. It
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 by one
until all are eXterminated.
One-sixth of all deaths are due 10
consumption, and the saddest thing
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 this
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 repugnantr to reason that
this blood feud should DE carried to ita
extreme result without hope and with,
out help. The best and wisest of stu
dents have felt this and have given tine
and study in the effort to discover
something which might arrest the steps
of the destroyer. 1t has been left for
DR.. R. V. Pierce, for more than thirty
years chief consulting physician to thu
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 corner" Take the following
case as an example:
Twenty-Five years ago when I was
thirteen years old, I had what the doc,
tor called consumption writes Mrs.
Ella Taylor Dodge, matron of the

mother that nothing could be done fol
me excepting to make me as comforta-
bic as possible. The pastor Of the NJ.
E. church in the place where l lived
heard of my condition and, although
he was not acquainted with our family
he called, and during the call he asked
my mother If she would allow me to
take medicine if he would send it to
me. She thought that it could do no
harm If 1t did no good, so he sent a
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Before the bottle was empty
my friends saw a little Improvement

tie was bought I can't say now just
how much I took, but improved stead.

but nothing did the least good till l

I have unlbounded 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 hopeless 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 1t was a case cured by DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
There have been thousands Of such
cases, and ninety-eight out of every
hundred have been cured. The success
of this remedy is due to It's co-opera-
,, ton 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 at
tempt is made to feed the lungs with
cod liver oil or emulsions which differ
only in degrees Of nastiness. But 1t is
notorious that, except as a palliative
the oil has little value. The theory of
nourishment and strength by nourish-
ment is all right, but 1T needs broad
| er application. Suppose your cheeks
begin to lose their plumphess. and you
seek to nourish them DO you think
that saturating them with cod liver OIL
beef extract or any other nourtshment
would put on flesh? The very thought
Is absurd. They must be nourished
but so must the whole body be nour-
ished, every part of the body being fed
as well as the cheeks5 if they are to be
filed out. This is equally true of the
lungs. 1t is useless to attempt 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 strengthened.
That is part Of the secret Of the cures
| performed by Golden Medicaa DiScov-
cry" It brings strength all along the
/ line. 1t checks emaciation, controls the
| rooted obstinate cough, begins at once
| to relieve the body of the strain and
| pressure OF disease and puts the lungs
| on fighting footing against their
| enemy
w. A. Sanders, Esq, of Hern, Mason
| Co., w. Va, writes: my wife had
henorrhage OF the lungs. She had
| ten hennorrhages, and the people all
| around here said she would never be
! well again. But she began to take DR..
