Advanced Medical Science knows of no more
powerful alterative medicine than Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Alterative medicines,
so-called because they alter or change the condition
of the system, have ranked amoug the most valued
of medicines prescribed by physicians. It is by the
skillful and scientific combination of several such
alteratives that Dr. Pierce has produced an altera
tive remedy, having the specific value of each in
gredient and the combined and concentrated power
of all these alteratives in union, which arc so
blended and so balanced, that they unite the great
est delicacy of operation with the utmost healing
power. It is these facts which give this greatest
of alteratives a genuine claim to the title of a
"Discovery."
The action of "Golden Medical Discover'" is
primarily directed to the stomach and the nutritive
or digestive system. Here is a common starting
place of disease.
What "Weak Slomr.ch" KSeans.
There never was a strong man with a "weak
stomach." And a so-called weak stomach may
aud often does mean weak heart, weak liver or weak
lungs. Why? Because in the stomach the nour
ishment for each organ of the body is prepared, and
from the stomach it is distributed. Bread kneaded
in a sour trough will take on the taint of the trough.
Food mixed and prepared in a tainted stomach will
take the taint and poison of that stomach all over
the system, to finally lodge at the weakest point of
some weak organ. Hence it is that in curing the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri
tion, and in increasing the activity of the blood
making glands, "Golden Medical Discovery" at
once begins to send throughout the body an in
creased supply of pure blood, because the blood is
made from the food taken into the stomach, and
with the "weak stomach" made strong and foul
blood made pure, conies a change to other organs
which gather strength to throw off disease.
"Golden Medical Discovery" works with Nature;
it puts into Nature's hand the only weapon with
which she can fight disease.
SIXTEEN YEARS OF SUFFEmiJQ.
The power of the "Discovery" is best exempli
fied in its cures of chronic cases, where after years
of suffering, and when doctors had utterly failed to
help, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
made a perfect and permanent cure. Such a case is
that of Mrs. Suggs.
"I'orthe past sixteen years I have had torpid liver and indi
gestion and tried many doctors and patent medicines but I could
not get a cure," writes Mrs. Simeon SugRs, of Clyde, Sabine
Pari9h, La. " Three months ago I thought I would try Dr. R. V.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his ' Pleasant Pellets.' I
got six bottles of each and I received a Rood result in a week,
and to-day I am cured sound and veil. The symptom! were
coated tongue, specks before the eyes, disposed to be cross and
irritable, foul stomach, bad taste in mouth, tired feeling, a feel
ing of fear or dread, headache, yellow skin, etc. These symp
toms did not all appear at once."
There are thousands of people straggling along
day after day, handicapped by disease who could be
made healthy aud happy by the use of ' ' Golden
Medical Discovery." It has cured ninety-eight
people in every' hundred who have given it a fair

From Storms and Signs.
Our predictions last month "that th'
planets wero all on one side of thu
heavens and in position to cause awful
storms and blizzards, snow blockades and
floods, that would surprlfro the oldest In
habitant," came true. Wo huve received
hundreds of kind complimentary news
paper notices from ull parts of the coun

markable nnd accurate long-iange fore
casts evjr made by any one man or
weather bureau In this or any other
country. This month tho planets are In
a still more dangerous position than they
were last month; but fortunately for

Bj wlQ fcXta7 is si. viii'iZS'U'
and faithful trial. The trouble is that so many of
these people have become hopeless. They have
dribbled away the savings of years in doctors' fees,
and without any improvement. They are fixed in
the belief that their cases are a little different from
anybody's else. And those are the very people that
"Discovery " cures. It's the people whose diseases
are just a little different, and who are given up by
doctors, the people whose diseases are chronic, and
who try "Golden Medical Discovery" as a last
resort, that form the bulk of that great army of the
cured which numbers over half-a-million persons.
It is absolutely impossible to have a strong body
where there is a "weak stomach" or good health
where there is bad blood. The use of the " Dis
covery" may be an experiment with you, but the
experience of others surely warrants the experiment.
"I cau say honestly that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
and pimples on the skin nnd swelling in my knees and feet so
that I could not walk. I spent about twenty dollars paying doc
tors' bills but received no benefit. About n year ago I decided
to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Favorite
Prescription,' and am entirely cured."
But the most remarkable feature of the cures
produced by the use of ' ' Golden Medical Discov
ery, " is where the lungs are "weak."
Proof Positive.
Here is found fullest demonstration of the theory
that if you can supply Nature with the needed
nourishment she will build up the waste places of
the body into health aud wholeness. And here
again it is proved that the "Discovery" does sup
ply in the most perfect form that nourishment which
Nature uses to effectually renew the broken down
organs of the body. Those who have suffered with
obstinate coughs, hemorrhages, bronchial affections,
emaciation, night sweats, weakness, and like condi
tions which when neglected or improperly treated
end in consumption, have found in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery perfect health.
"Last spring I was taken with tevcre pains in my chest, and
was so weak I could hardly walk about the house." says Mrs.
G. E. Kerr, of Foit Dodge, Webster Co., Iowa, "I tried several
physicians and they told me I had consumption. I heard of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and I thought I would
try some of it. Ilcfort I had taken the first bottle I was very
much better ; I took five bottles of it and have not yet had any
return of the trouble."
" After using about five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery my boy seems to be nil right," writes Mr. J. W. Price,
of Ozark, Monroe Co., Ohio. " He was very bad when I com
menced to give him the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' The doc
tors claimed he had consumption and we doctored with them
until he was past walking. It has been ten mouths since he
stopped taking your medicine and he is still in good health.
We ara very thankful to you for saving our sou."
"Last spring 1 wrote you in regard to my health whichat that
time was very poor." writes Mrs. Mettle 1.1. Karnes, of Garfield,
Pawnee Co., Kansas. "My trouble was bronchial affection.
Symptoms, spitting of blood almost every morning for five
years, shortness of breath, raw and sore throat, loss of strength,
at times almost loss of voice, irregular periods in fact I thought
I was surely going into consumption. We lived in Ohio when I
consulted you. You advised me to give Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery n trial, which I did, and with happy results.
I get two bottles just before we started for Kansas. I did not
feel as if I ever would get there, but we arrived and I used the
two bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and health returned
as I used the medicine. I have only raised blood three times
since 1 beean using it. My periods are regular, strength re
turned, and I am almost a new person. I have all faith in Dr.
Pierce's medicine. I know ofa lady that was cured of consump
tion by this same ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and she always
sings its praise."
