Weak lungs are made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures obstinate and stubborn coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs and other symptoms which, if neglected or unskillfully treated, terminate fatally in consumption. The action of Golden Medical Discovery in the curing of wasting diseases is entirely philosophic. Emaciation, and consequent loss of weight, are among the most striking symptoms of what are known as wasting diseases. The body is not being adequately nourished, and the cause of this lack of nourishment is not lack of food but lack of ability in the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition to prepare the food for the assimilation and nutrition of the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and the organs of digestion and nutrition, and so enables the body to be nourished back to strength in the only way by which strength can come; that is, by food perfectly digested and assimilated.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a temperance medicine. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or any other narcotic.
Accept no substitute for "Discovery." There is nothing "just as good" for you, though many things may pay the dealer a larger profit.
CAUGHT COLD.
The first day of this year, writes Mrs. Kate Schey, of 716 St. Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. "I caught a heavy cold, which settled on my lungs and brought on a hemorrhage. From that time on until the first of April I bled from my lungs five different times. I was so weak and undone I could only do the lightest work. The doctor told me I was going into consumption. My breath was short and at times I could hardly get my breath at all. This is the state I was in when I began to take Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. After the first bottle I was much better, and I could walk two or three blocks without trouble. My breath was not so short and I was much improved. After taking four bottles I could work all day, and I never felt better in my life. I think your medicine the best in the world and I recommend it to all who are troubled as I was."
WILL MAKE AFFIDAVIT,
"I was sick for about three months, had chills, fever, and coughed a great deal," writes Mr. W. L. Brown, of McDearman, Jackson Co., Tenn. "Most of my neighbors and friends thought I had consumption. I was reduced in flesh, and was very weak only weighed 110 pounds; my physician thought there was little hope for my recovery.
"My wife went to the store to get some anti-febrin, quinine, etc. for me and a friend of mine (Mr. W. W. McDearman), who had been taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery recommended this medicine for me. Finally I decided to use it, after my physician told me that it would be good for me. I sent and got one bottle, and before all was taken I weighed 149 pounds a gain of 39 pounds. I am still taking The Golden Medical Discovery, have taken nearly two bottles, and now weigh 158 pounds, which is more than I ever weighed. I am still gaining strength and taking the Discovery. I wish to say that this is a recent recovery, that only two months ago I only weighed about 110 pounds.
"I can and will make affidavit to this full statement any time. If you wish to use this as a testimonial do so, and I will answer all letters from inquiring sufferers."
