The Physical Paradox.

1t has been said that "thc blood Is the
source Of llfe." 1t Is as truly the source
of disease and death. No life, that Is to
say, no healthy tissue can be gathered
from impure blood, no organ ofthc body
can normally perform It's functions
when supplied with impure blood The
fluid that should carry life and health to
every part, carries ouly weakness and
disease. Blood Is the source Of life only
when II Is pure. If It has become dis
cased, II must be cleansod by proper
medication, else every pulsation of the
human heart sends wave Of disease
through the system. 10 cleanse the
blood Of all Impurities Use Or. Picrce's

Severe Case of Sick Headache.

CCNOhO oeOO W. h'tNh
Messrs. Ldndruni C Litchfeld.
abingdon, Nrginia.,
Ny wifc has suffered for several years,
Mt intervals of FIVE and six weeks, with
painful attacks Of sick headache. She tried
the usual remedies, with nothing more than
temporary relief, If that The attacks
would return ut the regular time, as usual.
Her suffering would be Of such char
acter rs to excite my appreciation. Having
read the certificate of Bishop G. F. Pierce,
recommending the Seven Springs "lron and
Alum Mass as an efficient remedy for such
complaints, she at once commenced the use
Of it, and in her case the happicst results
have been realized. When used according
to directions she never experiences symp-
tom of the headache. | am confident per-
manent cure of this disease can be effected
by the use OF this medicine.
Mrs. Rankin snys she cannot oyercsti-
mate the value Of the Mass in her case, and
would advise everybody who suffers MS she
did to use il. q. c. RANKIN.
