Commonly, the FIRST symptom of a rcold >
Is a chilly feeling. accompanied by sneez-
ing, OF tickling in the throat The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet OF cold feet, OF going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause namely the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness- Almost the FIRST symptom il
the feeling Of cold in the feet and increased

No one ever takes cold upicss cousti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call nal-nutrition, which Is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion ofnerve
force. Tonics consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron OF cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol, which shrivels up the red
blood corpuscles when il does come in
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because il
contains no alcohol, and offers a reasonable
and scientific method of treating the blood,
by improving the nutritive functions of the
patient. The ~Golden Medical Discovery
accomplishes this, by first restoring the
enfeebled digestive organs, so that, food,
the natural tissue builder, will be digested
and assifnilated.
Accept no substitute for DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There Is moth
ing "just as good" for diseases of the
stomach.
