Ought, 1t would seem, to give exemption
from the diseases which prey upon the
residents of thickly populated cities.
But there is no exemption from disease,
and III the country, as in the city, one
may see the checks grow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away with that terrible disease, con-
sumption.
Weak lungs are made strong by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and other symptoms which, if neglected
or unskillfully treated, terminate fatally
in consumption. The action of Golden
Medical Discovery i'll the curing of vast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic.
Emaciation, and consequent loss of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms of what are known as vast
ing diseases. The body is not being ade-
quately nourished, and the cause of this
lack of nourishnent is not lack of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton to prepare the food for the assimla-
ton and nutrition of the body. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition, and so en-
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength in the only way by which
strength can come that is, by food per-
fectly digested and assimilated.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is temperance medicine. 1t contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or
any other narcotic.
Accept no substitute for Discovery"
There is nothing "just as good " for yOn,
though many things may pay the dealer
larger profit.

Gill in your name If you don't use GOLD
DUST)
The fashioned way of
doing work was to grind
and weave and spin and
knit. and scrub.
Inn our age we have a diff
,ferent order of things. The
enlightenment of the clos
ing decades of the 10Th
century has ermancipated
woman from a life of toll.
There are women who
still persist i'm doing all
these ancient, wearisome
tasks-sOme because they
look with suspicion ON new
things, others because they
have never heard of or had
opportunity to take advan=
tage of the results of i'm
genfous progress.
Not to use GOLD DUST,
but to rub and scrub your
life away, is as wasteful of
time and energy as to
grOpe through the night i'm
a search for treasuresWF1ich
a moment of daylight will
