The remark expresses the popular recognition of the fact that the sign ot consumption is enuwuuuii! loss ot nesn. un the other hand, train in flesh is sure sign that wast ing diseases are be ing curea. Emaciated peo ple with obstinate coughs, bleeding lungs, night-sweats and weakness, have been perfectly cured bv the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden , Medical Discovery. The several steps of the cure were re corded in ounces and potfnds of in creasing weight. When there is gain in flesh the wasting disease is being surely cured. Mr. Will H.Whit mire, r.f Arklrtn. Wnekillfr- lmm Co., Va., writes: Our son contracted a deep cold about the first of July. 1899, and had terrible coiiRh. We called a doctor and he pro. noimced it irritation of the bronchial tubes, with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my sou was liable to die at any time. He told me that ii we could keep the bronchial tubes open, lie mighlcxm him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all tue time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several almost miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medicines, and of course t had wonderful faith in them. He used three bottles of ' Golilen Medical Discovery ' at home and one vial of the ' Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him.

Grant, Agent, Dallas, Oregon m . mm Weak Hearts Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart troublfl can remember when It was simple Indiges tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases ol heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but re the direct result of Indi gestion. All food taken Into the stomach Which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This Interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kaubls, of Nevada, O., says : I had stomach troubla and was in a bad stats as 1 had heart trouble with It. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about foul months and it cured me.

The transfer in volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and was paid by a party of business men for a specific for Briglit's Disease and Dia betes, hitherto incurable diseases. They commenced the serious investi gation of the specific Sow 15, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it out on its merits by putting over three dozen cases on tli treatment and watching them. They also got phy sicians to name chronic, incurable cases, and administered it with the physicians for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either well or progressing favorably. There being but thirteen per cent of failures, the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction.
