must deal with the blood. 1t must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofula is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
81 ain using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DR.,
Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co., Kansas. rTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were humps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of a hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was a fatal case. felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her TO
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is we'll to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
crful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. 1t is radi-
cal remedy. It goes TO the root of the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisous such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease for while and give the e'-'''
