Reasonable Proposition.

The fact that Golden Medical Dis
ccvery" cures weak" lungs, bron-
chitis, hemorrhage of the lungs, OBJ
stinate, stubborn cough, is indisput-
able. 1t is also indisputable that UNI
less these forms of disease are cured
they often terminate in consumption.
A consideration of the theory of DR..
Pierce's treatment, will show at a
glance that there is nothing unreason-
able. in the claim made by so many
men and women, that they have been
cured of consumption by the use OF
Golden Medical Discovery"
Consumption means a consuming ct
tissues, a wasting away of the body.

a view to ascertaiping what basis there might
be for these criticisms, an inquiry MADE to-day
