When an Investigation was made It w.is learned tli.it the father had given lib" daughter n dose of oxalic acid, which he had mistaken for the salts, and which rencmbles cp:'om salts veiy much.

To many a sick man and woman those words are equivalent to a death sentence. Go South? How can they when the husband's wage is needed to support tho home? Go South? How can tho mother leave her babes alone ancl helpless? If change of climate is the only hope, then there is no hope left. But is it the only hope ? There are thousands of people, sufferers from bronchitis, asthma, obstinate deep seated coughs, bleeding from the lungs, and other symptoms of pulmo nary disease, who have found a cure at home by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It would be impossible to exaggerate the wonderful character of some of these cures. Take the case of Miss Hose Eeed, given below. An attack of pneumonia results in an abscess of the left lung. In five weeks the physician gives her up, tells her she is going into consumption, and cannot live to see another spring. She is so weak she cannot lift her head from the pillow ; so emaciated that she weighs only ninety-five pounds. The physician's diagnosis, " Consumption," is borne out by the conditions. But the forecast of the patient's future was wrong. She got well, by tho use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. There are thousands of such cures on record at tho Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. As chief physician to this great Institute, Dr. R. V. Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of skilled specialists, has made a record of ninety-eight per cent, of cures. This record covers over thirty years of practice and the treatment of hundreds of thousands of patients. It can be confidently said of " Golden Medical Discovery " that it always helps, and almost always cures. (St " I deem it my duty to inform you concerning tho wonderful restoration of my sister's health," writes Mis Kate V. Reed, G14 Park Avenue, Lafayette, Indiana. "In February, 1808, she was prostrated by an attack of pneumonia which (after several weeks) resulted in an abscess of the left lung. After the disease had progressed about five weeks her phy sician gave her up, saying that she was going into consumption, but it might bo possible that as spring advanced she would improve, but with the return of winter tho diseaso would renew itself and sho could not possibly see another spring time. At this juncture another sister, residing several miles distant, came to visit her, bringing with her a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Sho had great faith in the medicine and had hopes of its bene fiting our sister, Rose. After writing to Dr. Picrco for advice wo began using tho medicine, and before many doses had been taken avo noted an improvement BY fiffl$L$iffl& IfQUUIa Vo" are invitcd io consult Dr. Picrco by letter - FREE, if you are suffering from disease in chronic form, Gorrcspontlcnco strictly private ami confidential.
