THE INVESTIGATION OF.
CONSUMPTION.
How Easily 1t Can Be Distinguished.

Medical science has been making great
strides in the diagnosis of disease, and
in none more than in lung disease. The
above sketch shows, on the left-hand
side, healthy lung as photographed by
the X-ray, at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. y. On
the right is diseased lung. This Insti-
.tute was one Of the very first in America
to experiment and then put into practical
Use the Roentgen or X-rays. 1t has used
this for years in examining broken bones,
locating internal cancers, stone in the
bladder, and nlalformations of all kinds.
Where a person is suffering from chronic
cough. a photograph taken by the X-ray.

this noted Institution. gives his time and
chronic diseases, free Of charge, to those
made of their condition.. He. also offers
him by mail giving description of symp-
treatment or cure DR.. Pierce has built
up a large institution at Buffalo for the
treatment of all chronic diseases, and he
has never claimed that his well-known
remedies (Which lie gave to the public
over third of q century ago. were cure
alls in any sense whatever Forty years
ago he discovered combination Of roots,
herbs and barks that when made into a
concentrated Alternative extract he called
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
and this remedy has sold more largely
in the United States in the past third of
a century than any other remedy for
coughs, colds, bronchitis, catarrh and
incipient consumption. 1t is purely
vegetable and contains no alcohol or
narcotics. BY acting upon the digestive
organs it assists in the assimilation of
food and thereby increases the red blood
corpuscles, and tones up the liver, heart
and other organs of the body. Pure
blood is essential to good health, and so
is a good digestion DR.. Pierce believes
that the person suffering from incipient
consumption should take good, long
draughts OF pure air, practice breathing,
expanding the lungs frequently, on warm
days to stay out i'll the sunshine as
much as possible and eat heartily OF
wholesome food. Consunlption.a every
body knows is wasting disease night,
ssweats and poor appetite weaken the
body Cod liver oil enlulsions are rau
seating to most victims of this dread
disease - whereas DR., Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery gives an appetite and
helps in the assimilation of the food
wholesome flesh is put on and the body
built up to normal health and strength
DR.. Pierce does not claim that his Dis

consumption but he does know it vii

cures have been effected. Bad cough:
