that in the beginning consumption is
not such a serious matter to the indi-

! 1t has been held that consumption is
hereditary. and the fact that one member
of a 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 no reason in the world why the weak
ness should be allowed to develop. There
is no reason why the lungs should re-
main weak. Weak lungs predispose a
child to consumption. They provide a
place for germs to settle. That is all that
is necessary. Once let the germs of dis
ease gain foothold and they increase
with deadly rapidity. Pretty soon the
blood is full of them. and so loses its
healthfuiness and its strengthening
qualities. If the weakness is in 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 strength We speak

than one-siXth of all the deaths in the
world
If there is a weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation of a house, the owner of
the house clears out the decaying mate
rial, supplants it with new, strong stuff.
That's all there is to do. That is all that
is necessary 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
wholesome blood, and the weakness will
disappear. Decaying tissues will be
thrown off, and new material will be
added until the lungs are well and per-
fectly strong again. This is the thing
that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry does.
Ninety eight per cent Of all cases of
consumption can be completely ard per-
manently cured. There is no doubt about
it. The statement is not made recklessly,
but after the experience of thousands
has made it an indisputable fact. Con-
sumption is not a disease of the lungs.
1t is a disease of the blood, which, in
weak-lunged people, manifests itself by
the formation of tubercIes in the lungs
and the wasting away of lung-tissue. The
cure of consumption is simple. 1t consists
in the administration of a medicine that
will assist the lungs in throwing off tu-
berculous matter, and that will purify and
enrich the blood so that this refuse mat
ter will be replaced by strong, healthy It's
sue. That sounds like a very simple
operation, and yet consumption baffied
the combined medical skill of the whole
world for hundreds of years. Consump-
tion was considered incurable until the
advent of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This great remedy is the
most wonderful blood-purifier and
strengthener that the world has ever
known. 1t is the result of years of
study and experiment by a scientific ply
sician and has been tested in every way
by him for over thirty years. 1t has an
unbroken record of success. 1t cures
great variety of diseases. because: almost
all diseases have their origin and support
in impurity and weakness of the blood.
AS long as mans blood is rich ard pure
he IS in no danger from disease. The
blood is the medium through which food
is carried from the digestive system to
all of the tissues of the body. If it car
ries impure things, or an insufficient guam
tity of good things, trouble will ensue.
There is nothing about that so very hard
to understand. 1t is perfectly plain and
natural and rational. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" puts the digestive system
in perfect order and thereby purities and
enriches the blood and so puts the whole
body in perfect tune. The people who
take it find themselves feeling better
right away Find their appetites better.
Find themselves stronger. Find that they
are getting feshy. Those who care to
know more about il, and to know all the
great medical truths, may learn them
