IGNORANCE

Blows out the gas and furnishes the
newspapers with jest and an obituary
notice. uDidn't know it was loaded I"
may be an honest plea, but it never
brought a victim back to life. Those
who let cough run on, in ignorance OF
the danger, find no escape from the con-
sequences when the cough develops into
lung trouble.
The best time to cure cough is when
il starts. Ordinarily, a few doses OF DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
cure a cough at the beginning. But
even when the cough is deep-seated, the
lungs bleed and the body is wasted by
emaciation, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will in ninety-eight cases out
of every hundred effect a perfect and
permanent cure.
$4,000 FORFEIT will be paid by the

below, and also of the writers of every
