AN EXPLANATION,

What is this nervous trouble" with which so
many seem now to be afflicted? IL you will re-
member a few years ago the word Malaria was
mon as any word in the English language, yet
this word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times past. So
1t is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria
are intended to cover what our grandfathers
called Biousness, and all are caused by troubles
that arise from diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding it can
not dispose of the bile through the ordinary cham
mel is compelled to pass it OFF through the sys-
ten, causing nervous troubles Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well APP

An ugly complexion made Nellie fright.
Her face was all pmply and red,
Though her features were good, and her blue
eyes were bright,
what plain girl is Nellie!" they said.
By now, as by magic, plain Nellie has grown
AS fair as an artists bright dream;
Her face is as sweet as flower new blown,
Her cheeks are like peaches and cream.
AS Nellie walks out in the fair morning light,
Her beauty attracts every eye,
And as for the people who called her q fright,
why, Nell is handsome!" they cry.
And the reason OF the change is that Nellie
took DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,

had obscured her beauty. Sold by druggists.
