constitutional
treatment, with, the use of a medicated crayon, which is similar in
shape to a small slate pencil. This crayon is made of gelatine with the
remedial agents thoroughly incorporated through it, and in an easily
soluble form. They are very flexible and readily used, and where the
fistulous track is sufficiently large to admit of their insertion, the
most decided improvement invariable follows their application. One is
oiled and gently introduced into the track every two or three days, and
by its solution the unhealthy tissues which line the track are removed.
They are thrown off, and a healthy action is induced. With careful
constitutional treatment, decided improvement soon follows, and the
discharge is gradually lessened. The most satisfactory improvement
occurs in the general health and strength of the patient, and gradually
the fistula closes. Sometimes it is necessary to pursue this course of
treatment for many months, but the result obtained is sufficient reward
for the trouble. A large percentage of cures follow this treatment, and
we recommend it when it is impossible for the patient to leave home, or
when the general health is greatly reduced by severe constitutional
disease.

TESTIMONIALS.
While we have a great cloud of witnesses testifying to the efficacy of
our treatment of the diseases described in this volume, yet for lack of
space we can here introduce only the few following:
"LIVER COMPLAINT."

_Gentlemen_--In the year 1889 I was taken with disease which the doctors
called "liver complaint." I tried three different doctors. They did me
no good. They tried about one year; I was not able to work for two
years. At last I thought I would try Dr. Pierce's medicines, and I wrote
to Dr. Pierce, and he wrote to me to take his "Golden Medical
Discovery," and I bought two bottles, and when I took it, I saw it was
improving me, and I got five more, and before I had taken all I was
well, and I haven't felt the symptoms since. I had a continued hurting
in my bowels for about two years. I feel as if the cure is worth
thousands of dollars to me.
Yours truly,
