Diseases of the Blood.

By R. V. PIERCE, M. D., of the World’s Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y. Tetter, Salt Rheum; Scald Head, St. Anthony's Eire, Rose Rash or Erysipelas, Ringworms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores and Swellings. “ The blood is the life.” This is as true as a mathematical or any other scientific proposition, jind one that should influence every physician. From the blood we derive our strength and mental capabilities. When this source is corrupted the painful and sorrow-producing effects are visible iu many shapes. From our blood our systems are built up and kept in repair. The strength of our constitutions and our powers of endurance and the withstanding of disease-producing agencies with impunity depend largely upon the condition in which our blood is kept, If it holds in suspension or solution vile festering poisons, all orgauic functions are weakened thereby. Settling upon vital and important organs, as tlie brain, lungs, liver and kidneys, the effect of these poisons ill the * blood is, many times, most disastrous. Hence, it behooves every one to keep the blood in a perfectly healthy condition, and the more especially does this apply at this particular season of tlie year. When you purify your blood to cure Sait Rheum or any Erysipelas humor, you not only cure those diseases, but you put your system in such an im proved condition that you are not so liable to any other disease. No matter what tlie external or exciting cause may be, tlie real or direct cause of a large proportion of all cliron* ie or lingering diseases is bad blood. Tlie multifarious forms in which it manifests itself would form subjects upon which I might write volumes. But as all tlie varied forms of disease which depend upon bad blood, a few of which I have enumerated at the head of this article, are cured, or best treated, by such medicines as take up from this fluid and excrete from the system tlie -noxious elements, it is not of practical importance that I should describe each minutely. For instance, medical authorities' describe about fifty varieties of skin disease; but as they all require for their cure very similar treatment, it is of no practical utility to know just what name to apply to a certain form of skin disease, so you know how: best to cure it. Then again, I, might go on and describe various kinds of Scrofulous Sores, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Enlarged Glands, and Ulcers of varying appearance; but as ail these various-appear-ing manifestations' of bad blood are cured by uniform means, I deem such a course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse tlie blood, which is tlie great fountain of life, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and soundness of constitution will all return to us. \ Tlie Liver is the great depurating, or blood"clcansing, organ of the system'. Set, this great “house-keeper” of our health at work, and the foul corruptions which gender in tlie blood and rot out, as It were, the machinery of life are gradually expelled from the system. For ibis purpose my Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently the articles needed. Tliev. cure every kind of humor (except Cancer), from tlie worst scrofula to tlie common pimple, blotch, or eruption. Great, eating ulcers kindly, lieaj under their mighty curative influence. « Enlarged Glands, Tumors and Swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of these great resolvents. The system being 'put .under their influence for a few Weeks, the skin becomes clear, smooth, soft, mid velvety, and, being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth iu all its glory. The' effects of all medicines which operate upon tlie system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter bow good the' remedy employed. The cure of alHlicse diseases, however, is with the use of these most potent agents only a matter of time. „ ~ , Ido not wish to place my Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums by recommending it to cure every disease, nor do' I so recommend it; on .the contrary, there are hundreds of diseases that I acknowledge it will not cure; but what I do claim is this, that there is but one form/ of blond disease that it will not cure, aud that disease is Cancer. Ido not recommend my discovery for that disease, yet I know it to be the most searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other known blood poisons, b<; they animal, vegetable or miueral. Blood medicines that' are advertised to cure Cancer should be looked upon with suspicion. They never can do it , „ , Most medicines which are advertised as blood purifiers and liver medicines contain cither mercury in some form or potassium and iodine variously combined. All of these agents have a strong tendency to break down thu blood corpuscles and debilitate and otherwise permanently injure the human system, aud should, therefore, be discarded. My Golden Medical Discovery, on the other baud, being-'.composed of fluid extracts of native plants, barks and roots, will in no case

produce injury, its eflfects being strengthening and curative only. Sarsaparilla, which used to enjoy quite a reputation us u blood purifier, «x a remedy of thirty years ago , and may well give place, as it is doing, to the more positive and valuable vegetable alteratives which later medical investigation and discovery have brought to light. Both Discovery aud Pellets are sold by all first-class druggists in all parts of the world. DOCTORS COULDN’T HKLI* HIM. John A. Wilson, Esq., Meigsvillc, Morgan County, 0., writes: When I was twelve or fifteen years of uge I took 'what is called King’s Evil or Scrofula, and by constant doctoring it would heal in one place and break out in another. It also broke out in my left' car. 1 sent ten miles for the first bottle of your Discovery, which did me more good than all other medicines I ever used. 1 am now twenty-eight years old, and doctored with five doctors; not one of them helped me so much as oue bottle of your Discovery. I am well and able to do a good day’s work. SALT RHEUM AND F.HUI*tIONS'tKJHKD. Mrs. A. W. Williams, Clavernejc, Columbia County, N: Y., writes: I had been afflicted with Salt Rlicum in its worst form for a great many years, until I bought your Golden Medical Discovery and took two bottles and a half, and was entirely cured. From my shoulder to my hands I was entirely covered with eruptions, also on face and body. I was also afflicted with Rheumatism, so that I walked only with great difficulty, and that is entirely cured. hip-joint disease cured. J. M. Robinson, West Grove Station, lowa, July 14,1872, writes: My wife first became lame nine years ago. Swellings would appear and disappear on her hip, and she was gradually becoming reduced, and her w hole system rotten with disease. In 1871 a swelling broke On her hip, discharging large quantities, and since that time there arc several openings. Have had five doctors at mi expense of $125, who say nothing will do any good but a surgical operation. July 16. 1873, lie writes .thus: My wife has certainly received a great benefit from the use of your great Discovery, for she was not able to get off the bed, mid was not expected to live a week when she commenced using it, a year ago. She lias been doing most of her work for over six months. Has used twenty bottles and is still using it. Her recovery is considered almost a miracle, and we attribute, it all to tlie use of your valuable medicine. I can cheerfully recommend it as a blood-puri-fier and strength-restorer.
