" The Conflict of Ages.”
Hoi differ on newly every issue. There have always been opposite parties in politios and religion, though the measures fought over one day maybe universally adopted at another, and those sacrificed regarded as heroes and martyr?. Medicine has also been subject to revolutionary disturbances. When Drs. HafVey and Jenner announced their discoveries, they were held in oontempt and ridicule by an incredulous and ignorant publio, yet to-day they are received and honored by all as benefactors. When Dr. Pierce announced his Discovery, many seemed to doubt, and were skeptical concerning all medicines and doctors, but proof of merit has dispelled all doubt, and to-day The Golden Medical Discovery is the standard remedy in curing the most obstinate diseases of the liver and blood, having almost entirely superseded the old-time sarsaparillas by reason of its gfiperior merits. Nohwich, Chenango Co., N. Y., Nov. 3, 1876. B. Y. Pierce, M. D.: . I was afflicted with a scrofulous affection on one of rfy legs. It was very troublesome for over two years, so much so that I could not wear a boot, and I had to keep my leg bandaged. It resulted in a raw sore. It got so bad that it became a general talk that I would have to undergo amputation of the limb. One physician told me he never saw such a soro cured. I commenced taking your Golden Medical Discovery together with your relicts as directed on the bottles,and when I had consumed six bottles of Discoveiy, my leg was entirely well, and has remained so ever since—a period of over two years—and I would not swap it for fifty wooden
legs. Yours truly,
John SHATTUCK.
