Another great discovery has been made, and too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New 7 Discovery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles was absolutely cured.

Doctors Can’t Cure It! Contagious blood poison is absolutely beyond the skill of the doctors. They may dose a patient for years on their mercurial and potash remedies, but he will never be rid of the disease; on the other hand, his condition will grow steadily worse. S. 8. 8. is the only cure for this terrible affliction, because it is the only remedy which goes direct to the cause of the disease and forces it from the system. I was afflicted with Blood Poison, und the beat doctors did me no good, though I took their treatment faith* fully. In fact, I seemed | to get worse all the w#’ while. I took almost wkL every so-called blood remedy, but they didnot seem to reach the disF ease, and had no effect - whatever. I was dis- -- : 2 heartened, for it seemed jfasp-x that I would never be I cured. At the advice of 'F a friend I then took \ Ay , 8. 8. S., and began tolmZT ' z z prove. I continued the medicine, and it cured me completely, building up my health and increasing my appetite. Although this was ten years ago, I have never yet had a sign of the disease to return. W. B. Newman, Staunton, Va. It is like self-destruction to continue to take potash and mercury; besides totally destroying the digestion, they dry up the marrow in the bones, producing a stiffness and swelling of the joints, causing the hair to fall out, and completely wrecking the system. 5.5.5.%8100d is guaranteed Purely Vegetable, and is the only blood remedy free from these dangerous minerals.
