If 11111?111 I III ? ? I? THE GHOST Of our boyhood resolved*itself to an old I tree when we had courage to examine it. Manhood has its ghosts, which, to the man who has courage to confront them, prove to be as harmless as the ghosts of ! Golden Medical Discover}*. And these cures have 1>een wrought in many cases after the doctor had said?"There is no help for you." Don't give in to the superstition of a past age. Give the " Golden Medical Discovery "a fair and faithful trial. It always helps. It almost always cures. "When I commenced takmg your medicine eighteen months ago, my health was completely broken down." writes Mrs. Cora I,. Sunderland, of Chaneyville, Calvert Co., Md. "At times I could not even walk across the room without pains in my chest. The doctor who attended me said I had lung trouble, and that I would never be well again. At last I concluded to try Dr. Pierc.-'s medicines. 1 lxnight a bottle of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' took it, and soon commenced to feel a little better: then vou directed me to take both the "Golden Medical Discover}*' and the ' Favorite Prescription," which I did. ' Altogether I have taken eighteen bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery*.' twelve of the 'Favorite Prescription,' and five vials of ' Pellets.' I am now almost entirely well, and do all my work without any pain whatever, and can run with more ease than I could formerly -calk."
