tion to
be found in the back portion of this little treatise must be sufficient,
it seems to us, to convince the most skeptical of the wonderful power
which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery exercises over this terribly
fatal malady. As will be noted, many of the cases there reported had
long been unsuccessfully treated with cod liver oil emulsion and all the
other usual remedies employed by the profession and were fast running
down. "Golden Medical Discovery" aroused the stomach and liver, and
started all the nutritive functions into action, whereby digestion and
nutrition were promoted and both the strength and flesh steadily built
up. The reader will bear in mind, that most of the cases hereinafter
reported, were pronounced Consumption by their attending physicians as
well as by us. It cannot be said, therefore, that we exaggerate the
malady and that the cases were merely bad, lingering coughs. Thousands,
whose maladies have been pronounced genuine Tubercular Pulmonary
Consumption, (Phthisis Pulmonalis) by eminent physicians have been
_perfectly_ and _permanently_ cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It can, therefore, no longer be doubted that this
wonderful compound is far superior as a remedy for Consumption to cod
liver oil, compound Hypophosphites, and the many other agents so highly
extolled, and so generally prescribed for this fatal malady by even the
more progressive and advanced of the medical profession of our day. Read
the letters received from grateful patients who have been cured and note
how many commend the use of "Golden Medical Discovery," as a "last
resort," after their home physicians had exhausted all their skill and
resources in vain.

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.

This is a subacute or chronic form of inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the bronchial tubes, of a very persistent character and
variable intensity. There are few diseases which manifest a greater
variety of modifications than this.

SYMPTOMS. The symptoms of this disease vary greatly with its violence
and progress. Cough is always present, and is very often the first
symptom to attract the patient's attention. It is usually increased by
every slight cold, and with each fresh accession becomes more and more
severe, and is arrested with greater difficulty. The cough is always
persistent, sometimes short and hacking, at other times deep, prolonged,
and harsh. So
