Scime men are afraid
of death, some are
not. Most of us
would rather not meet
the grim destroyer to-
day. We wouid rather
put it Off until to-mor-
row, or until next
year; Mere wishes do
not count for much in
the matter. A man
may not want to die.
He may not want to
besick. He may wish
and hope and pray
that he will not be
sick not meet death,
but wishing and hoping won’t help him.
It is what he does, and not what he,
wishes that serve his purpose. If a man
is losing flesh, and is nervous, irritable,
sleepless and debilitated, he may wish he
would get well, but one bottle of Dr.
'Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will
'do more than’an ocean of wishes. If a
man is; on the way to consumption, he
should make a stop as quickly as pos-
sible. He should put on brakes. He
needn’t be afraid he has consumption ii
he will do the right thing—if he will
just take the right medicine. The “Gold-
en Medical Discovery” cures incipient
and well developed consumption. Con-
sumption is :1 germ disease and a blood
disease. The, “Golden Medical Dis-
covery ” kills the germs and purifies the
blood. It increases the appetite, helps
digestion, makes assimilation perfect,
and so builds up solid, who/3307123 flesh.
Hundreds of grateful people afflicted
with consumption, bronchial, throat and
kindred diseaSes, have testified that it
has actually saved their lives. For the
sake of the information they contain,
some of these letters have been included
in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical
Adviser, a thousand page, illustrated
book, uliich will be sent free on receipt
of twenty-one (2i) one-cent stamps to
pay for mailing only. Every family
should have a copy for ready reference
in case of sudden sickness or accidents.
