One-sixth of all deaths are from con-
sumption. But the man goes along with
his eyes bullying to watch cholera and
yellow fever. He disdains to cure the
cold or check the little cough, and con-
sumption trips him up.
Don't neglect little ailments. Keep
the system up to the point of effectual
resistance against disease. This is best
done by the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It strengthens the
stomach, increases the action of the
blood-making glands, cures all disorders
of the organs of digestion and nutrition,
except cancer of the stomach, purifies the
blood, increases the vital energy and so
enables the body to resist and throw off
disease. Even when there is emaciation,
weakness, hectic, cough, bleeding at the
lungs and other alarming symptoms,
"Golden Medical Discovery" can be
counted on to help every time and to
heal 90 times out of every hundred.
Sick people can consult DIR. K. v.
