a weak stomach. A weak stomach does
not always mean weak lungs, but weak
lungs always means weak stomach. The
weak stomach means lack of sufficient
nutrition, or the incapacity Of the stom-
ach to digest the food and distribute the
nutriment TO repair the waste and loss
of the body. The whole medical profess
sion recognizes this fact. Their great
prescription for weak lungs and consump-
ton is a fattening food, condensed and
assimilable-which takes the form of cod
liver oil, either in all its original nasti-
ness, or with it's offensiveness modified
in some emulsive preparation. The theO-
ry is sound enough. What the body needs
is nourishment. If you could nOurish
the body up to the point of aggression
against disease 1t would protect itself
Somehow cod liver oil and its prepara-
tions never seem to get as far as the
weak lungs. They fail because it is the
stomach that needs healing. Let the
lungs alone If you can cure the stom-
ach. invigorate the liver. and set the
lood-making glands to manufacturing
and start the current of rich. red blood
throughout the system. nature will take
care that il does it's work of building
up the body That is the basis of DR..
Pierce's cure for weak lungs. the condi-
ton which, by neglect or bad treatment,
becomes consumption.
HOW IT WORKS.
How does the treatment work in prac-
tice? Mr. Noel W. Orvin. of Langley.
Aiken County, S. c., finds that it worked
first rate in his case. He says:
Il was taken sick in July last year and
was not able to do any KIND or work un-
til November. I had been coughing up
small, hard humps for about a year before
i l-ar, hon F1a1
doctor. who attended me for two months,
and said that one-haIf of my left lung
was gone, and advised me to leave my
home Charleston, S. c. and go to the
country, but did not say what sort of dis
ease l had. l thought it was cOnsump-
ton and wrote to you for advice; took
four bottles of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. which has done me more
good than all the other medicines have
ever taken
The doctor didn't say what was the
matter. But Mr.. Orvin thought it was
consumption" No wonder he thought so.
when the doctor told him one-half of one
lung was gone But it does not matter
what the disease is called, the fact re-
mains that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has cured thousands of such
cases-cases where there We're night
sweats. hacking cough, emaciation, hec-
tic flush, labored breathing. and great
weakness. Call the disease what you
please, Golden Medical Discovery cures
ninety-eight out of every hundred such
cases. These statements have a two
fold claim on your attention if you are
a sufferer from weak stomach. weak
lungs, stubborn, lingering cough, bronchi-
tis, bleeding lungs, or any of these kim
dred forms of disease which, when neg
lected or improperly treated, lead to con-
sumption.
WILL NOT INEBRIATE.
There is one important feature about
Golden Medical Discovery which can
not be too strongly emphasized. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or whisky no opium or
narcotics. neither sugar nor syrup which
so often disagree with the weak dyspep-
tic stomach. Without any of these things
it preserves its medicinal qualities per-
fectly and in any climate. 1t does not
create a craving for injurious stimuiants
or narcotics.
DON'T BE DECEIVED.
If you are convinced that DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is what you
need, do not allow any designing dealer
to palm off a substitute on you under the
specious plea that it is Just as good" If
he has no respect for your judgment
show him that you have. Any dealer can
you If you insist upon it. 1t affords him
a fair profit. 1t is his business to supply
what you ask for and not to urge some
substitute on you for the sake of making
a larger profit. Your health is of vastly
more consequence than his profit Let
any substituting dealer understand that
There are people everywhere who are
in i'll health. Medicine has not helped
them. They are out of heart and dis
couraged. DR.. Pierce invites such TO
write to him, freely and fully. After
careful consideration of the case reply
is quickly made containing such instruc-
tions and fatherly advice as will prove
of the greatest benefit. There is no charge
for this consultation by letter.
A GREAT OFFER.
