THE ScoURGE OF
CIVILIZATION.

From half civilized or
unsanitary countries come
the plaques which deci-
mate the teeming popula-
tons of the Orient. Sani-
tary science and medical
skill have banished the
plaques from among our
selves, but civilization has
its own scourge in that
form of scrofula which
attacks the lungs and is
popularity known as con-
sumption.
Plaques are not per-
sistent. They appear and
disappear again for years.
Scrofula of the lungs or
consumption is a persistent
disease. Every day of
every year it gathers in its

deaths from disease being
attributed to consumption

must deal with the blood. It must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofula is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
"I am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DR..
Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co., Kansas. cTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of a hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said It was fatal case. 1 felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. It came to my
mind that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so I went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is well to-day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erfu1 and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century; 1t is radi-
cal remedy. It goes to the root of the
disease. Some Preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease foz while and give the skin

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super

A curious sight might have been seen
In England a couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence a little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be utouched for the
evil" The specific cevil" was scrofula,
and it was the popular belief that scrof-
ula could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula is
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in a kingly touch, no ex-
terna1 treatment could cure scrofula.

suppressed disease like smothered IRE
breaks out with new violence.
1t is the uniform testimony of those
who have been cured of scrofulous dis
eases by the use of "Golden Medical

In many instances the testimonial to
the cure has not been offered unth the
lapse of several years proved how
thoroughly and lastingly the medicine
had done its work.
No class of people are more grateful
for the blood purifying power of the
