WARNOCK, | Aids Nature The reat success of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Di covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that “Golden Medical Discovery” supplies Nature with body-build- ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making mat rials, in con- densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering 2 obstinate coughs. The ‘‘Discovery’’ r:-establishes the diges: ive and nutritive organs in sound heclth, purifies and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in df your dealer offers something “‘just as ood,” it Is probably better FOR HIM---it pays better. only.
