Such . disappointment comes not seldom when the "face turned to you rvrr snows dishgur- inp-hlntrlipsAmt blemishes. In general the cause of these eruptions is im pure blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery puri fies the blood, and removes ijf the corrupt ac- cumuiaiions which cause disease. When the blood is cleansed, pimples, tetter, salt-rheum, boils, sores, and other results of impure blood, are perfectly and per manently cured. For three years I suffered with that dreaded disease eciema," writes Mrs. J. Koepp, of Her man, Oregon. "I was told to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which I did, and af ter I had taken fourteen bottles I was perma nently cured. It has been a year since I stopped taking your medicine and it has never appeared since. I think your medicine a wonderful cure and hope others sufferinqr as I did, will take it and be relieved of their suffering." Some of the most remarkable cures effected by "Golden Medical Discovery," have been of scrofulous diseases.

I am in good health now bttler than I ever was in my life, owing to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, I took several bottles of the ' Discov ery ' before I stopped."
