Seems as if eonsumption always picks out the brightest and best. l'iilly one-sixth of all the deaths that occur in the -vorld are caused by consumption. Many things ivere once considered impossible. It would be strange il" medical ecieuce dld not make some progress. The telegraph and telop.hone, the phonograph, the electric light- all -svere once impos, siljlo. and once it was imposslble to cure consumption. That was befóte the time of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical discovery. Taken accordiny; 1o directians, this standard remedy.will cure ÖS per cent. of all cases of consumption. Consumptlon is caused and fostered by impurlty In the blood. It is cured by purity and richness in the blood- surely, certainly cured by the "Medical Discovery. It builds up eolid healthy ilesh and vigorous strength.
