the heart of the Dark Continent, bringing
a medicine composed of herbs gathered
in that far-off land. He says: 1T is
really wonderful medicine. I've seen peo-
pie so sick they could hardly crawl, made
strong by it, I've seen gaunt, attenuated
frames round out with healthy flesh ana
strong muscles by the use of it, I've seen
men and women whose every breath was
a sigh who were coughing away their
lungs, their lips dyed red with hemor-
rhages, their eyes hollow, their cheeks
blazing with the hectic of life's autumn
have seen these people, under the neal
ing influence of this medicine, come back
to robust health, hearty, hardy men ana
women"
What popular clamor there would be
for such a medicine were it found. And
vet there is not a claim made for this
supposititious medicine that cannot be
made for DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery, and substantiated by facts.
There are thousands, tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands of people who can
testify to sick stomachs made we'll weak
lungs made strong, foul blood made pure
bv the use of Golden Medical Discov-
cry" Yet, because the medicine is on sale
everywhere, instead of coming from some
remote corner of the globe, and because
its merits are testified to in the familiar
speech of friends and neighbors, we think
there is nothing wonderful about it.
There's nothing wonderful about medi-
cine which has cured Mrs Brown or MI.

THE AKOOND OF SWAT,
people talk of the miraculous medicine
that did it. It's only when the disease Is
desperate, and doctors are helpless that
people learn the real value of DIR. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery.

The direct claim that DR.. Pierce'S Gold
en- Medical Discovery cures consumption
is never made, because consumption has
many stages, and in the later stages of
the disease a cure can rarely be expected.
But 1t Is nevertheless a fact that Golden
Medical Discovery has cured, time and
again, in cases where there were cough,
hemorrhage, night-sweats and emaciation
marked consumption, and where the at
tending physician had diagnosed consump-
ton and treated for consumption, often
giving up the case as past hope or help

A REASONABLE PROPOSITION.
The fact that "Goldeh Medical Discov-
cry cures weak" lungs, bronchitis, hem
orrhage of the lungs, obstinate, stubborn
cough, is indsputable, II is also tndis
putable that unless these forms Of dis
ease are cured they often terminate in
consumption. A consideration of the the
DRY of DIR. Pierce's treatment will show
at a glance that there is nothing unreal
sonable in the claim made by so many
men and women, that they have been
cured of consumption by the use OF
Golden Medical Discovery"
Consumption means Consuming of tis-
sues, a wasting away of the body. A body
that is kept well nourshed cannot waste
away An ill-nourished body is always a
marked feature of consumption. When
the body is not adequately nourished it
is generally due to the failure of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition to properly extract the nu-
tritive elements from the food. The ma
triment when extracted is often but inn
perfectly assimilated, and so every day
sees waste of tissue, which the nutri-
ton received is insufficient to repair DR..
