Brakes alone arc not enough; the whole propell ing power of the engine must be reversed mid made to work in the opposite d i re ct ion. That is how it is some times with disease. 1 There are times when the system is flying along the track of disease -at such a 'frightful -pace that no ord I nary methods will prevent dis aster. There are plenty of m e tl lc i nes which act merely ns breaks to "slow up" the dis ease and put off disaster for n little while; but tbnt isn't enough. What is needed ia a medicine that will instantly reverse the entire wasting, degenerating process. When people are losing flesh, strength and vitality, they need Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery, which nets directly upon the vitnl forces, completely trans forming thc entire nutritive organism and totally reversing the wasting, debilitating process which is at the root of all diseases. It enables the digestive and blood making organs to supply thc circulation with un abundance ot pure, healthy, red blood. It stops the wasting of tissue, builds up solid, nmsculnr flesh and healthy nerve-force. "About four years ago I had an attack of grip which left my threat and lungs in a baa condition," write? Mrs. Mary Hartman, of 300 Harker Street, Mansfield, Ohio. "The doctor said I lind disease of the throat and bronchial tubes. I continued to grow worse all the time until I had pain in the upper part of my chest and severe cough, winch grew worse at night and in the morn ing, with expectoration. Quite often I would cough up what seeiueo to be mattery scabs, after which I would experience a burning and smarting sensation in my thront. I took the doctor's prescriptions without number, but all did not seem to do me any real good. At last he told me to try cod liver oil. I took sixteen bottles of the oil; this seemed to help me for a while and then I would be tis bad ns ever. Next I tried the extract of malt. I took five bottles, and not deriving any benefit from Hie tnnlt, (I was feeling so weak I could hardly get around) I concluded I would write to your Institute for advice. About eighteen months ago I wrote describing my symptoms. I immediately received an answer advising n course of treatment, which I began at once. I bought five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and one bottle of his 'Favorite Prescription' and three of the 'Pellets.' I began taking the medicines as directed and immediately began to Improve In every way. I have obtained more lasting benefit from these medicines than from ali others combined. Indeed Dr. Pierce's med icinen have done wonders for nie. I enjoy quite good health and have not taken any medicine for ovei six. ???Utbft." Miss Mary Whitman, of Rust Dickinson, !.? .....lin Co., N. Y., writes: " For nearly ten mouths I bad a bad cough, and in stead of getting better, it grew worse, until I wa? idvised by a friend to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I hesitated at first, for it seemed to mc nothing would give relief only death. My parents were anxious about nie, and I wa? said to have Consumption.
