off Death.
HE wore the mask of Death. Thus the poet paints him : " High on a night
black horse in night-black arms, with white breast-bone and barren ribs of
Death, and crowned with iieshless laughter." The terror of this dumb
and deathly knight reigned everywhere. He was esteemed invulnerable and
invincible. Yet Garetli, knight of the Round Table, in his first quest met and
overthrew him. He split the skull upon the black knight's helm. He clove
through crest and casque. Then, lo ! To his astonished gaze there was dis
closed, not the terror from which men shrink, but a beardless, boyish face. A
weakling boy had terrorized the whole land by the power of external show.
All his strength lay in the repulsive armor in which "he played a masquerade
UJ. XJVcIIjU.
There are diseases which masquerade as death. They affright the world because those who have feared to fight 'them, or have
fought them and been overthrown, declare them to be invulnerable and invincible. When disease attacks the lungs ; when the tearing,
strangling cough terminates in a spurt of red blood ; then the local practitioner usually says : " There's no use in fighting. This disease
cannot be overcome. It is only a question of time when Death triumphs.'
Is that the final verdict ? No. Time and again when the local physician has pronounced the condition as hopeless, this very form
of disease has been vanquished by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It makes the " weak " lungs strong. It stops the
hemorrhage, cures the stubborn cough and restores the emaciated frame to manly strength and vigor.
Nature has but one way of creating or sustaining physical strength, and that is through the assimilation of the nutriment provided
by properly digested food. The very basis of the popular treatment for weak lungs rests on the fact that health and strength must come
through food. Cod liver oil and its emulsions are foods solely and entirely. The very use of these foods recognizes the weakness of the
stomach, the failure of the digestive powers, and the lack of adequate nutrition, because they are fed in, an attempt to bring the food
supply down to the level of the weak stomach. It is the attempt to strengthen weak organs without strengthening the weak stomach'
and it generally fails. The great necessity in the treatment of weak lungs, is the recognition of the fact that you can't give permanent
strength to the lungs by smuggling their nutrition past the weak stomach. The stomach itself must be strengthened so that Nature,
by legitimate processes and with natural foods, may build up the wasted tissues of the emaciated and enfeebled body. That is exactly the
work performed by " Golden Medical Discovery." It cures diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables
the assimilation of the nutrition derived from, food on which alone the health and strength of the body depend. It increases the supply
of blood, which is made from food when properly digested. So the weak organs are supplied with the blood which is their life-blood
abundant in quantity and rich in the vitalizing red corpuscles of health.
There is no alcohol in ' Golden Medical Discovery," and it contains no opium, cocaine, nor other narcotic.
Persons suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consult l)r. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence strictly private
and sacredly confidential.

"I have felt it my duty for a long time," writes Mrs.
Mollie Jones, of Gap, Comanche Co., Texas, "to tell you
of the wonderful cure effected by your ' Goldu Medical
Discovery ' and ' Pleasant Pellets, ' in the case of our little
boy, now nearly seven years old. When he was two
months old he was taken with La Grippe, and it settled
on Jiis lungs and in his throat. His tonsils enlarged, and
when he was two years old we had the doctor operate on
them. They were lanced, but that did no good. He
would nearly choke to death. At night I would have to
turn him over and raise him up and work with him until
I would be so near worn out that I would go to sleep.
Then we had the doctor take his tonsils out and he made
bad work of it. The child was just two years old, and
the doctor had taken one out and part of the other one,
and he breathed as bad as before, and had a cold and
cough all the time. If he went in the wind he would
be sick, and we tried everything we could hear of and
consulted every physician we saw, but they did not know
what to do. By this time he was five years old, and he
got so he would go to bed well, apparently, and before
morning would wake up and throw up and have a burn
ing fever. When he was nearly six years old (in October,
1898), he was worse than ever, and I could not rest for
being so uneasy about him. He was our fourth boy (the
other three were dead), and it seemed to me that if he
died I just could not bear it. I would go to sleep crying
and begging God to spare him. Well, I could see he was
getting so much worse ; he was justj as poor as could be,
and his kidneys had been troublesome all his life. I had
read a book about Dr. Pierce's medicine. It seemed to
me that this was the very medicine we wanted, and I told
my husband that if he would buy some of Dr. Pierce's
medicine I felt almost sure it would help our boy. He
sent and got some, and we commenced with the ' Golden
Medical Discovery ' on Friday night, and with the ' Pel
lets ' the next morning. We gave him your medicine
three times a day and by Sunday he was able to play, and
in one month from the time he commenced taking it he
had gained six pounds, and his cough was all gone. He
has not coughed auy since, and he don't take cold any
more than the rest of us, and he breathes so much better.
His tonsil is still large, but it don't get sore and choke
him like it did. His kidneys are all right ; they don't act
in the night now at all, and some of the neighbors who
had not seen him in a good while hardly knew him. He
goes about like the rest of the children and plays in the
cold and hot weather.
"Now, anybody that's got children can know how
thankful I am. We have had four children and three are
dead, and we feared that he would soon follow. We just
gave him one bottle of the ' Golden Medical Discovery '
and one vial of the ' Pellets,' but they cured him. I be
lieve if there is any medicine in the world that would
cure consumption it is ' Golden Medical Discovery.' "
Mrs. Ella Taylor Dodge, Matron, Home for Mission
aries' Children, of Morgan Park, Ills., writes: "Twenty
five years ago when I was thirteen years old I had what
the doctor called consumption. He told my mother that
nothing could be done for me excepting to make me as
comfortable as possible. The pastor of the M. E. Church
in the place where I lived heard of my condition, and
although he was not acquainted with our family, he
called, and during the call he asked my mother if she
would allow me to take a medicine if he would send it to
me. She thought that it could do no harm if it did no
good, so he sent a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Before the bottle was empty my friends saw a
little improvement in my health, whereupon another bottle
was bought. I can't say now just how much I took, but
I improved steadily and to- day I am a well, strong
woman, as you may imagine I must be to have the care
of this Home. I now have a child under my care, who,
when she takes cold it settles in the larynx. I at first
used medicines which her mother suggested before leav
ing her, but nothing did the least good till I gave your
'Golden Medical Discovery.' I have unbounded faith
in it."
