Death's face is not a pleasant thing- to
look upon, yet thousands of men and wo- ?
men go about daily with the reflection of '
death in their faces. The dull eyes, the ]
fallow complexion, the sunken cheeks, the ',
emaciated form, all tell the story of the in- ,
sidious advances of that implacable foe? ?
consumption. Doctors have declared that *
consumption is incurable. It is not. Thou- J
sands of consumptives have testified to J
their complete recovery after they were^
given up by the doctors and all hope was?,
gone. It is simply a matter of going to the*,
scat of the trouble which is imperfect*
and improper nutrition. ?
Dr. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery!*
does this. It corrects all disorders of tbe^
digestion. It invigorates the liver. It*,
niaV.es assimilation perfect. It fills thefc
blood with the elements that build now ft
healthy tissue in every organ of the body.*
It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder*
It cures oS per cent, of all cases of consunip-?
lion. All good druggists sell it. ^
