“THE KINO’S TOUCH” SUPERSTITION.
In England, two centuries ago, popular superstition credited the “Royal
Touch’’with curing scrofula; and although for scoffing at the idea in 1091 the
King was declared to be an “infidel,” even his “faithless” touch was credited
with a cure. These superstitious practices have now become obsolete, and in
tlieir place we have a scientific remedy in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which eliminates the impurities from the blood by the natural channels, thereby
Cleansing the system of all taints and impurities from whatever cause arising.
It is truly a royal remedy, world-famed and guaranteed to benefit or cure in
every case, or money paid for it will be refunded. The only blood-purifier ever
so guaranteed and sold by druggists. As a regulator of the Stomach,. Liver and
Bowels, “Golden Medical Discovery” cures all bilious attacks, Indigestion and
Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea and kindred ailments, For all derangements
caused by malaria, as Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, and Bilious Fever, it
is specific. As an alterative or blood-purifier, it manifests its marvelous prop¬
erties in the cure of the worst Skin and Scalp Diseases, Salt-rheum, Tetter,
Eczema, and Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, as well as Lung-scrofula, com¬
monly known as Pulmonary Consumption, if taken in time and given a fair
trial. World’s Dispknbary Medical Association, Proprietors, No. 663
