10000 VICTIMS YEARLY!
Stop and think Of that fact a mo-
ment In little country like England,
including Wales, country which could
be swallowed up in its entirely by one
single State out of the As States of the
Union, there are more than $4,000 peo-
pie die every year of tuberculous dis
ease. Nothing can speak for the dead
illness and insidiousness of that disease
like those plain figures. If sixty thou
sand persons died each year of cholera
in an area no larger than that of the
State of Illinois, there would be an en-
tire exodus from the State. If every
year, unfailing and unchangingly yell
low fever claimed 10000 victims in a
similar area, that territory would be
utterly forsaken.
But the death tribute to this mon
strous disease in the United States is
no less appalling. One-sixth of the
deaths annually occurring in this coun-
try are attributed to consumption. 1t
is the one disease which has seemed to
bid defiance to doctors, and which con-
tinues it's ravages in the very glare of
the white light of scientific knowledge.
In commenting upon the work of other
nations in the effort to fight consump-
ton, Sir William Broadbent said, ad-
dressing the chairman. the Prince of
Wales. Your Royal Highness may
therefore well reproach us for tagging
behind Germany in a matter of so much
Importance. America also is in advance
Of this country
AMERICA AHEAD.
The tribute paid to this country by
the eminent lecturer is deserved. The
deadly character of consumption, the
widespread area covered by the disease,
the number of its victims, the perplex-
ing problems connected with its cause
and cure, have drawn the attention of
the keenest scientific minds of the med
ical profession to the tubercle bacillus.
OF all those who have given laborious
days and nights to the questions in
VOWED IN the treatment of the causes of
consumption, no one has achieved more
remarkable success than Dr. r. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invallds' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. In an experience of
more than thirty years, assisted by an
associate staff Of nearly score of spec
ialiSts, he has demonstrated that in
cases of weak lungs, splitting of blood,
bleeding of the lungs, bronchitis, obsti-
nate lingering coughs, and conditions
which, if neglected or unskilfully treat
ed, lead to consumption, there is help
and healing in almost every case by the
use of DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery. How uniform the action of
this medicine is found to be may be
inferred from the fact that all the thou
sands of cases treated and recorded,
ninety-eight out of every hundred have
been perfectly and permanently cured
by the use of the Discovery" and the
other two have acknowledged the help
received from the medicine.
1T ALWAYS HELPS.
IT ALWAYS CURES.
The cures effected by the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" are the
more remarkable. because in a large
number Of cases, those who use the
medicine are in an exhausted condition,
having tried all other means of cure
without result, and having been given
up by doctors to die. A good example
Of such cases is offered in the following
