she was drifting, drifting, drifting Save
me " she cried, save me ~ as the old
man came to the waters edge The griz-
zlcd mariner raised his hand TO the side
of his mouth and cried hoarsely, Walk
ashore
That's all there was of it. She was still
in shoal water. All she needed was the
timely word of instruction and advice.
But suppose it had not Gomez Suppose
she had not needed it2 Was there no
danger2 The open sea, frail raft and
Trailer woman
The woman on the raft is type of hun
dIeds of thousands of her sex who are
drifting into danger Up to definite day,
they have been enjoying life in perfect
security. Then in moment, a sense of
impending danger comes. They are at the
mercy of disease. Every day increases the
danger. They are drifting, drifting, drift
ing. Then comes the cry for help. To
thousands of appeals there has come the
answer from DR.. X. " Pierce, chief con-
sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y,
WALK ASHORE WALK ASHORE!
You are still in the shallow waters of
disease. You can still get back without
more than inconvenience to the land of
health behind you. All you need is just
the right word of advice and common
sense instruction in time, and the grip of a
helping hand. That is Just what Dr. Pierce
offers to every one suffering from disease ;
timely, health restoring, life saving advice,
pfactical help. II requires some confidence
to take advice when your own senses are
against it. The woman on the raft could
not see the bottom of the roily water and
the land looked so far away. So the woman
in disease can't see how she can be cured,
and recovery of health seems hopeless.
And, perhaps the very disease that has
begun to threaten her is consumption, that
Ct IL
incurable Her local doctors perhaps say,
I'VE can make your suffering little less,
but there's no hope"
Does Dr. Pierce claim to cure consump-
Gon2 That question isn't worth arguing
Look at The record. Take case in point.
Here is a man Tor woman) with a hacking
cough, a hectic flush night-sweats great ema-
ciation or wasting OF flesh, splitting of blood,
shortness of breath and all the other symptoms.
After every remedy and every local physician
has failed, he, a last resort takes Golden
Medical Discovery" and the cough vanshes the
cheek gets back Its natural color, sleep becomes
sound and refreshing, the splitting of blood
stops, flesh aud muscles become hrm, weight
increases, and life goes along in quiet and COM
fort to the full limit of the three score years
and ten.
But may be it wasn't consumption after all ?
May be it wasn't. You kHOiU it something
that attacking the very citadel of life, and
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. And DR..
Pierce is curing such " something's" right along
with a record of over a quarter of a million
cases, and not more than three per cent of
failures
One fact, at least, is we'll established. That
the Golden Medical Discovery" does cure
weak lungs, bleeding from lungs, obstinate,
lingering coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis, throat
disease, and kindred affections of the air pas
sages, which, if neglected or badly treated lead
up to consumption can no longer be doubted
in view Of the many thousands of well estab-
lished cures of such cases reported by the most
trustworthy citizens Many of these cases have
been pronounced consumption and incurable
by the best local physicians before the suffer
ers commenced the Use of DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery Whether the doctors have
erred in their Judgment in these numerous
cases or not is not for us to decide
