II is just about as hard to induce q
confirmed invalid, especially one suffer
ing with weakness of the lungs, to take
the first step to health. There is lack
of confidence, and perhaps a crushing
experience of former failure which
depresses and discourages the sufferer.
In spite of doubts and fears you will
take the first step to health when you
take the first dose of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t never fails to
help. In ninety-eight cases out of one
hundred it never fails to cure. Never
mind about the symptoms. Obstinate
cough, bleeding of the lungs, splitting of
blood, emaciation, night-sweats, condi-
tons which if neglected or unskillfully
treated terminate in consumption, have
all been perfectly and permanently cured

fee or charge. Every letter is regarded

expression Of the eyes, the lashes pre-
served them from the dust, cold, wind

tend to irrltate and often infiame the
