READ AND YOU WILL LEARN

That the leading medical writers and
teachers OF all the several schools of
practice endorse and recommend, in the
strongest terms possible, each and every
ingredient entering into the composition
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, silver complaint, y
torpid liver, or billousness, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. 1t Is
also specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec-
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases except consump-
tom accompanied with severe coughs. 1t
is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases 1t Is
especially efiicacious in producing per-
feet cures. 1t contains Black Cherrybark,
Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root,
Mandrake root and Queens root-all OF
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writers and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, OF Jefferson Med. Col
lege; Prof Hare, Of the Univ. of Pa;
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., OF BEN

John NJ. Scudder, M. d.. late Of Cincin-.
natl; Prof. Edwin NJ. Hale. NJ. D., Of
Hahnemann Med. College, Chicago, and
scores of others equally eminent In their
several schools of practice.
The vGolden Medical Discovery" is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes. that has any
such professional Endorsement worth
more than any number of ordinary testl-
monials. Open publicity of its formula
on the bottle wrapper is the best possible
guaranty of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no poison
GUS or harmful agents and no alcohol
chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine
being used instead. Glycerine is entirely
unobjectionable and besides is a most
useful ingredient in the cure of all stom-
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
affections. There is the highest medical
authority for its use in all such cases.
