Life is a battle field.
r* Every day brings its
fierce, unceasing coti
flict; every night leaves
* w its multitudes of dead
and dying. The horrors of war are no
greater than the horrors of disease. If all
the nations of the earth were at war against
»ach other there would be no such carnage
A-rought within the year as that which is
icconiplished annually by one dread disease
—consumption.
And yet this most fatal of all diseases is
aot without its remedy. It is no longer the
rre»iistible destroyer that it was considered
hirty years ago. An entirely new aspect is
>ut upon the possibilities of this dreadful
nalady by the astounding remedial action
>f Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,
riiich cures consumption by nourishing the
ings with an glnindant supply of pure,
ighly - vitalized blood.
This stops the formation of tuberculous
latter, and builds up fresh tissue, muscular
esh and vital energy. It gives digestive

Miss Lucy Kloeffler, of Armaria. Mich., writes :
When I was about eight years of age I had in
ainmation of the lungs, and from that time up 1
as sick nearly all the time and had a doctor
earlv all the time. I would take cold so easily it
rould go right to my lungs. At the age of nine
en I was very bad: there was pain in my lungs,
ckling in my throat and my throat was studded
rith ulcers; there was hoarseness and partial sujs
■ression of voice, and difficulty of breathing. I
o<.-tored with one of our best physicians and he
aid he could not help me and just prescribed cod
iveroil and told my mother I could not live longer
han three months. T kept getting weaker every
lay. when at last a friend asked me why I did not
ry Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I
bought there was no use, no more help for me as
