she was drifting, drifting, drifting Save
me y she cried, save me . as the old
man came to the waters edge. The griz-
zled 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 oppose it had not come? Suppose
she had not needed it? Was there no
danger? The open sea, frail raft, and
frazier woman
The woman on the raft is type of hun
dreds of thousands of her sex who are
drifting into danger. Up to definite day,
they have been enjoying life in perfect
security. Then in a moment, 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.. r. V. Pierce, chief con-
suting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical institute, Buffalo, n ",
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,
practical help. 1t 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
dreadful disease regarded by millions as
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-
ton ? That question isn't worth arguing
Look at tie record. Take case in point
Here is a man (or woman) with hacking
cough, hectic flush. night-sweats, great ema-
citation or wasting of flesh. splitting of blood,
shortness of breath and all the other symptoms
has failed, he, as last resort, takes " Golden
Medical Discovery" and the cough vanishes, the
cheek gets back its natural color, sleep becomes
sound and refreshing, the splitting of blood
stops, flesh and muscles become firm, 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 knoae it was something
that was attacking the very citadel Of life, and
1t was something that was cured by the of
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. And DR..
Pierce is curing such something's" right along
with record of over quarter of million
cases, and not more than three per cent. of
failures.
One fact at least is we'll established That

sages which, if neglected or badly treated. lead
up to consumption, can no longer be doubted
in view of the many thousands of we'll estab-

trustworthy citizens. Many of these cases have

cases or not is not for us to decide.
