for its blood cleansing and specific cura-
tive effects upon the diseased mucous
membranes: 1t will cure a very large
per cent. OF all cases, even after they
nave reached the ulcerative, or chronic
stage, and no matter of h0U nany gears
standing they may be. 1t is equally
ehcaclous in affections of the mucous
lining of the larynx, bronchia and res
plratory organs in general, thus curing
bronchitis, laryngitis and other affec-
tions giving rise to obstinate, hang-on-
coughs. 1t is not 80 good in acute
coughs following sudden colds, as in
the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor
must the "Golden Medical Discovery
be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption in it's advanced
stages-no medicine will do that, but
for all obstinate hang-on-coughs due to
laryngial or bronchial irritation and
kindred affections, of the throat which.
ii neglected or badly treated, are likely
to lead up to consumption, the rDis-
covery" can be relied upon to produce
the best curative results.
The "Golden Medical Discovery is.
from its tonic and specific curative con.
troll over mucous surfaces, especially
efticacious in curing indigestion, dys-
pepsia, weak stomach and silver Com.
plant" or biliousness. Even liberation
OF the stomach and bowels has in thou.
sands of cases been cured by it.; also
obstinate chronic diarrhea.
In addition to all the foregoing, not
the least valuable of the marvelouslv
eHcacious properties possessed by the
"Discovery" is the unequaled regulat-
ing and strengthening effect exerted by
it over the hearts action. It has made
some wonderful cures of very pro-
Dounced valvular and other affections
of that organ.
The reason why uGolden Medical
Discovery" cures so wide a range of dis
eases is made plain in q booklet sent

send for it.
The powerful alternative or blood Dur.
flying properties possessed by the wOis-
covery" will naturally suggest it's use
for the cure of blotches, pimples, erup.
tions; as eczema, salt.rheum, and other
skin affections in all of which it has
made remarkable cures; also in scrofu-
lous sores and old, open ulcers, or eat
ing sores. To heal the latter. use DR..
