A Tremendous Sensation
would have created one hundred years r.go
by the sight of one of our modern express

sumption? wrought by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has created widespread
amazement. Consumption is at last acknowl-
edged curable. The “Golden Medical Discov-

Does the Earth Really Move.
Science says that it does but we cannot help
wondering sometimes if there isn’t some rais-
take about it. when we see how stubbornly
certain old fogies cling to their musty and an-
tiquated Ideas. It was believed once that con-
sumption was incurable and although it has
been clearly demonstrated that it is not thou-
sands of old-time physicians close their eyes
and put their hands to their ears and refuse to
abandon tne theory. But for all that the
world moves on and Dr. Pierce's Golden Med-
ical Discovery continues to rescue sufferers
from consumptives' graves. It Is a sure cure
for this dread disease if taken In time. All
scrofulous diseases—and consumption is in-
cluded in the list—yield to it.
