They have “made good " and they have mor made drunkards. A good, honest square-deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovéry. It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that have come into promi« nence in the earlier period of its popularity have “‘gone by the board" and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and ‘that is to be found in its superio r merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with its attendant indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated .ongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing is as good as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper— no secret, no _hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don’t accept a substitute that the dealer may make a little bigger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for.
