A NOBLE RECORD
Of many hundreds of thousands of cures forms a well sustained basis for
every claim put forth by the makers of Dr. PIERCE’S GOLDEN MEDICAL
DISCOVERY as a remedy for many of the troublesome affections which afflict
mankind; yet it is not extolled as a “cure-all” by any means. No extravagant
promises are flaunted before the public to arouse false hopes in the afflicted.
Your neighbors probably know of some of its many cures; ask them.
Through strengthening and arousing the stomach, liver and
bowels into vigorous action, digestion is promoted, whereby
the blood is enriched and purified, disease*producing bac*
terla destroyed and expelled from the body, and thus a
long list of skin, scrofulous and kindred affections are
overcome and sound, vigorous health established.
The “Discovery” contains no alcohol and no habit-forming drugs, and has
its every ingredient printed on its wrappers. This OPEN PUBLICITY places
it in a class distinct from the ordinary secret nostrums with which it has no re
lationship. Physicians, therefore, do not hesitate to prescribe it in bad cases of
indigestion, torpid liver or biliousness and in skin and blood affections. People
of intelligence and keen discernment employ it. The “Discovery” is a pure
glyceric extract of native medicinal roots of great curative potency, and can in
no case do harm to either child or adult. The aged find it a great invigorator.
You can learn more about this time proven and popular “Discovery” from
the People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, a newly
revised, up-to-date edition of which is now offered, in cloth covers, post-paid,
for 31 cents in one-cent stamps, to cover cost of wrapping and mailing only.
