regarded as incurable-the dread dis.
ease, consumption. 1t would be absurd
to deny that in certain stages the vic
tim of consumption is beyond the help
of the scientific knowledge of the pres
ent day, though every year science
grows stronger to aid the consumptive
1t is equally absurd to deny that there
is abundant evidence that bronchitis,
obstinate, lingering cough, bleeding of
the lungs, and conditions in general
which terminate in consumption, are
being cured daily by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.
There is no getting past fact. You
may refuse to accept it, but there it
stands, challenging doubt and denial,
and inviting investigation. The fact
that Golden Medical Discovery does
cure bronchitis, does cure hemorrhages
OF the lungs, does cure obstinate, ling
ering coughs, does build up the emaci-
ated and enfeebled body into health,
is a fact as undeniable as that the sun
rises and sets. The proof does not rest
on single cure, but on thousands of
cures. Suppose a man lost on the
trackless prairie stumbles suddenly
upon a path, tramped hard by the
passage of thousands of feet. viii he
sit down and say | am lost? Or will
he take the one chance of help that
opens to him, and follow the trail which
points to safety? Every time he will
strike into the trail and go on, stag
gering and stumbling, to where he may
find the help of human hands, the sue
cor of human hearts. There is such
beaten trail to health marked for the
man who is coughing his life away. It
has been trodden by thousands who
had given themselves up for lost, and
who have found in it a way to health
and long life. Why, then, are men will
ing to accept the theory that they are
lost to health and happiness? Why do
they accept a horrible doom with
scarcely struggle? Because
THEY HAVE BEEN ROBBED
of hope by superstition. The priests
of this superstition, the medical men,
have said Nothing can he done for
YOU" and they accept the dictum and
sit down and await their fate. The
general attitude of the average medi-
cal practitioner toward the sufferer
from lung disease iS cruel to the eX-
trome Havin9 no help Ia offer him
self, he denies that there is any help
to be found. He pooh poohs a rela-
bile remedy and says don't waste your
money, or, as MI McCawley's physi-
clan said of Golden Medical DisCov-
cry" you may as we'll take so much
water"
Yet Mr.. McCawlcy took Golden
Medical Discovery" and was cured. He
saw a testimonial from man who
had been cured of a diseased condition
similar to his own. The doctors
couldn't help him; they said it was "a
case Of die anyway" as Mr.. McCawley
looked al it. But he was a cautious
man. He wrote to the man who claim
ed to have been cured by Dr. PierCe's
medicine before he wrote to DR.. Pierce
That was business
These testimonials are genuine and
honest, and one fact will he noted in
almost all Of them--that the use of
DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
was not begun until the doCHrs failed
to help or pronounced the doom of
death.
The one vital question to you if you
are sick will be-
WHAT Is NV CHANCE?
Can ! be cured Look at the facts.
Read over the testimonials given be-
low, and then answer that question
in the light of common sense These
people who were cured had lungs JUS,
like your lungs, and blood iust like
your blood. That's the main point to
remember, The symptoms may vary.
but the body is the same always, aud
the work of healing TO be done in that
body is the same in every case. At
the least your chance" of cure Is as
good as any Of those whose testimon-
ials have been given, But there's a
brighter word of encouragement for
you vet in the fact that DR., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has cured
ninety-eight per cent. Of all who have
given il fair and faithful trial. Now
read these testimonials until you get
the facts by heart:
