It cures diseases of the tomach and other organ of digestion and nutrition. Many diseases in organs remote from the stomach have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach aud its allied organs. When the stomach is "weak" there is a failure to properly digeft and assimilate the food which 's eaten. Hence the whole liodv. and cuilli oumii of it, suffers from lack of nutritiou, so ! that as a consequence of "weak" stom ach, there may be " weak " lungs, " weak" heart, "weak" or torpid liver, "weak" nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the ntomnch and other organs of digestion and nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov ery" enables the assimilation of the nutriment necessary for the requirements of a healthy body.' It increases the ac tivity of the blood-making glands, and m increases the supply oi blood which is the vital fluid of the body. There is no alcohol in the ' Discovery" aud it is entirely freefrom opium, co caine, and all other narcotics. Sick and ailing people especially tbose suffering from disease in its chrome form are iuvited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence Is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Huffulo, N. V.
