Monsters and Microbes.
How ilio Microbe Would Appear
Ii Magnified in Slzo io Cor-
respond With lis Tower.
The world has always believed in
monsters great dragons of the land,
nnd huge serpents of the sett, As a
rule these monsters have been fairly
peaceable, and beyond frightening peo
ple occasionally, they have done little
recorded harm. The, red calamities of
humanity have come from the smallest
forms of life. Tlie minute microbe has
slain its millions upon millions. If this
microscopic form of life were dcpicled
in size nnd form equal to its danger and
,it0m&tim&
deaillincss we should see a monster
which would dwarf into insignificance
nil the monsters ever begotten by hu
man imagination. The microbe has tins
in common with the fabled monster, its
food is human flesh nnd its drink human
blood. It battens on slaughter. For
centuries medical science fought this
microbic foe in darkness. The presence
of the foe was recognized, its deadliness
conceded. But it was ever an invisible
foe, unknown and unnamed. To-day
science with eye-power increased a mil
lion fold finds this lurking foe, knows it
and names it.

is the first step, fighting it intelligently
is the next. We know this minute or
ganism lurks in tlie air we breathe, the
food we eat, the water we drink. We
know the object of attack is the blood.
We know that as the microbe is bred
from foulness it must be fed on foulness.
Hence, we know that the microbe finds
no lodgment in the body when the blood
is pure. Keep the blood pure and you
shut out the microbe.
When the bloodis impure nature at
once begins to show the red danger sig
nals. Boils, blotches, pimples, erup
tions begin to work upon tlie skin sur
face, as signs and symptoms of the cor
ruption of the blood. When these or
any signs of blood impurity appear, the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is confidently recommended as a
most powerful nnd perfect blood -purifying
medicine.
"I consider your 'Golden Medical
Discovers' ' one of the, best medicines on
the face of tlie earth,"' writes Win, 1'loe
ter, Esq., of Redoak, Montgomery Co.,
Iowa. "While in the south-west, three
years ago, I got poisoned with poison
ivy. The poison settled in my blood
and tlie horrors I suffered cannot be told
in words. I thought I would go crazy.
I could do nothing but scratch. I would
go to sleep scratching, would wake up in
the morning and find myself scratching.
I scratched for eight months. Had it
taken to the Moses Taylor hospital for
treatment.

" It gives me much pleas

Miss Anuic Wells, of Fer

Discovery and ' Favorite Prescription,'
and am entirely cured."
Of all prevalent forms of blood dis.
case, scrofula is the most intractable.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has a remarkable record of cures of
scrofulous diseases ; remarkable both in
the number of cures and their variety
as well as in the fact that these cures
were effected many times in cases where
all other treatment had proved utterly
ineffectual.
" I cured my little girl's scrofula with
your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and
' Pleasant Pellets,"' writes Mr. Eli Ash
ford of Raney, Hunt Co., Texas. "It
lias been four years since then, and
there has not been any return of the
disease."
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery," and it is entirely free
from opium, cocaine and all other nar
cotics. Why does a dealer sometimes try to
sell a substitute for Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, claiming it is "just
as good ? " Is it for the customer's ben
efit? It can't be. If the two medicines
are equal in merit there's no advantage
to the purchaser in an even exchange.
The medicines are not equal in merit,
and the reason for selling a substitute
is only because the less meritorious med
icine puts a little more profit into the
dealer's pocket. His gain is the cus
tomer's loss.
