k, rich cream, eggs, bread made from unbolted
wheat-flour, and raised with yeast, cracked wheat, oatmeal, good butter,
beef, game, and fowls. These contain the necessary elements for
assimilation. Oily food is of great importance, and the beef eaten
should contain a good proportion of fat. Plenty of salt should always be
eaten with the food, and a desire for it is often experienced.
Over-eating should be avoided, lest the stomach be induced to rebel
against articles of diet rich in important elements.

Derangement of the process of nutrition requires careful attention, and,
if necessary, correction. For this purpose, nothing can excel Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It increases the appetite, favors the
nutritive transformation of the food, enriches the blood, and thus
retards the deposition of tubercular matter. It is so combined that,
while it meets all these indications, it relieves or prevents the
development of those distressing symptoms so common in this disease.

The "Golden Medical Discovery" is adapted to fulfill the third
indication in the management of this disease, which is to check the
abnormal breaking down and waste of tissues, which constitute such a
prominent feature in this malady. The antiseptic properties of the
"Discovery" are unmistakably manifested in preventing such abnormal
decomposition. The emaciation, excessive expectoration, profuse
perspiration, diarrhea, and hectic fever, common to consumption, are all
due to a too rapid disintegration and waste of the tissues. It is in
this condition of the system that this medicine, by its powerful
antiseptic properties, manifests its most wonderful curative ability.
When, as in this disease, the vital forces of the system have, in a
degree, lost their restraining influence over the processes of
disintegration, waste, and decay, which goes on so rapidly that
nutrition cannot compensate for the loss to the system, then it is that
the "Golden Medical Discovery," by its antiseptic influence, checks this
rapid waste of the tissues, and thus arrests the disease. To the lack of
employment of such a remedy in the treatment of consumption, the
unparalleled fatality of the disease is largely due. In their anxiety to
improve digestion and nutrition, and thus build up the tissues,
physicians often lose sight of the no less important indication of
restraining the destructive waste going on in the system, which
overbalances the supplies furnished by absorptio
