The English "Society for the Prevention of Consumption" presided over ly the Prince of Wales, was recently addressed by Sir William liroadbent, who stated thnt it was definitely known that every case of con sumption began with a germ communicated from some other case. There is no such thing as inherited consumption. There may be local weakness which tends to consump tion, but the germ has absolutely to be planted in that weak spot before consump tion can ensue. This ought to comfo. ; thousands of people who have " weak chests "-or "weals lungs." They are not foreordained victims of this dread disease. AU that is needed to bid absolute defiance to this deadly scourge, is to be able to strengthen the weak lungs, and build up a strong body. The answer to this need is found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It so purines the blood and in creases the blood supply, that disease is thrown off, and the weak organs are nourish ed into perfect health, which defies germs of every kind. People, given up by doctors, emaciated, bleeding at the lungs, with obsti nate, lingering coughs, are being curtd every day by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." It is a strictly temperance medicine contnining no alcohol, whisky or o:her intoxicant.
