ADVANCE IN MEDICINE
REMARKABLE PROGRESS MADE TO
PREVENT OISEASES.
Checked
—the frightful inroads of Scrofula
and all blood-taints. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery purifies
and enriches the blood, cleanses the
system of all impurities, and restores
health and strength. It cures all
diseases arising from impure blood.
Consumption is ono of them. It’s
simply lung-scrofula. In all its ear
lier stages, the “ Discovery ” effects
a cure. It’s easy to see why. Tho
medicine that masters scrofula in
one part, is the best remedy for it in
another. It is the best. It’s war
ranted. It’s tho only blood and lung
remedy that’s guaranteed to benefit
or cure, or tho money will be re
funded. No other medicine of its
class does it. How many would be
left if they did?
It’s the cheapest blood-purifier,
sold through druggists, (no matter
how many doses are offered for a
dollar,) because you only pay for
the good you get.
Tour money is returned if it
doesn’t benefit or cure you.
Can you ask more?

The Improvement In Medical Selene. Has
Been In Three Dlatlnet Direction*-!*—
craaltr nf Cleanllnraa la th. tireateat
Factor In Modern Treatment.
-Emancipation from the thraldom of
! authority in which it was fast bound for
centuries,” said Dr. Osier, "medicine has
progressed with extraordinary rapidity,
and even within the present generation
has undergone a complete revolution.
The advance haa been in three directions.
First, in the prevention of disease. A
study of the conditions under which epi
demics develop has led to the important
work of sanitary scienoe. For fifty
years the watchword of the profession
in this matter has been ‘cleanliness:* and
clean streets, good drains and pure wa
ter have in many towns reduced the
mortality from certain diseases 50 per
cent
'In this department certainly medi
cine has achieved its greatest victories.
It is a thought full of encouragement
to know that sneb diseases as typhoid
fever and diphtheria may ultimately be
stamped ont and be as rare among ua as
leprosy and smallpox. In this work the
profession requires and can often obtain
the intelligent co-operation of city au
thorities and the public. People scarce
ly understand bow much haa already
been done, nor do they yet appreciate
the possibilities of preventive medicine.
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
‘Tlio second great advance which
medicine has made relates to the knowl
edge which has been gained of the agents
producing diseases. Dating from the
studies on fermentation by Pasteur, and
the early work of Lister, we have gradu
ally learned to recognize the importance
of the structures known as bacteria,
which has revolutionized the practice of
surgery and gynecology. Today surgery
is a new art, and hundreds now recover
after operations from which hundreds
previously died. The information which
we now have on these subjects has been
slowly and painfully acquired, here a
little and there a little: but the outcome
of it all ia that aa clean streets and good
drains and pu^e water mean municipal
health, so absolute cleanliness and ab
sence of contamination mean in great
part freedom from infection.
‘So universally present are the infect
ive agents, particularly of suppuration,
that it is only by the most scrupulous
care that the infection of wounds can be
prevented, and it is now generally ac
knowledged that the highest type of this
antuepticism it obtained, not by the
use of various solutions which destroy
the germs, but by such measures of clean
liness as effectually prevent the possibil
ity of their presence.
"The researches showing the relation
of special microscopic organisms to spec
ial diseases are likely to lead to the most
important results. The cultivation of
the germs of disease outside of the body
has enabled ua to study the products of
their growth and io several instances
from them to obtain materials which,
when injected into an animal, act aa a
sort of vaccine against the disease itself.
The hope of obtaining in soma of the
most important diseases vaccines which
will beer the same relation to them as
ordinary vaccine to smallpox is very
reasonable and likely ere long toba real
ized. in another direction, too, the
•todies of Koch have shown that in the
growth of these bacilli materials are ob
tained which may act most powerfully
upon the body and attack the elements
of the disease itself. Hls discovery of
the action of the product of the growth
of the tubercle bacilli upon tuberculous
tissue ranks aa one of themed remark
able of late yean.
CHANCES or LIVING ABE BETTER.
“But I hear the householder aay: ‘All
that is very well, bnt Tommy gets the
measles and Mary has the mump* and
Susie gets the whooping cough just as
my grandmother tells me her children
bad fifty years ago. My doctor’s bills
are possibly a little larger than were
father's, and I know his drag biU could
not have been aa heavy as mine for the
last quarter.' Thtl may be perfectly
true, for the millenium has not yet come,
but it is perfectly true that today Mrs.
Householder's risks have been reduced to
a minimum in the necessary domestic
emergencies, and her children's chancre
of reaching maturity have been'enor
mously enhanced.
"The third great advance haa been the
diffusion in the profession and among
the public of more rational ideaa upon
the treatment of disease. Dieting and
nursing have supplanted in great part
bleeding and physicking. We know now
that a majority of febrile affections ran
s definite course uninfluenced by drags.
We recognize daily the great fact that
disease is only a modification of the nor
mal processes of health, and that there
Is a natural tendency to recover. We
cannot claim in the medicinal treatment
of disease to have made great positive
advances, still we have learned not to
do wbat we did U for the poor patients
a great gain. The past half century
has placed only a half dozen absolutely
Indispensable drugs which must be need
by all indiscriminately who practice the
healing art
"A desire to take medicine is perhaps
the great feature which distinguishes
man from other animals. Why tab ap
petite should have developed, bow It
could have grown to its present dimen-
