mankind is growing wiser and
weaker" But is it really so? Let
us glance at the facts. According to
the latest statistics there are more

world. Why? Because of the great
discoveries in medical science which
afford him immunity from diseases
that formerly devastated mankind.
Greatest of them all is DR.. Pierce's
