The action of "Golden Medical Discovery" upon
the blood is marked in two ways: by purifying the
blood and so removing the causes of disease and by
increasing the quantity we'll improving the
quality of the blood. This increased supply of pure
blood rich with the red corpusces of health, carries
new life to every organ of the body Weak organs

The wide range of cures performed by Dr. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery may be attributed to the
scientific method of the treatment which cures
through the stomach diseases which have their origin
in diseased condition of the stomach and the allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Blood is the life,
but blood is made from food, and the conversion of
food into nutrition depends upon the health of the
stomach and it's allied organs "Golden Medical

was when it had semi professional

good old days when the Maple city en-

that out-of-town players gave to the
