Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1895-07-05
man who

-,A-AL,
the long name, said that the beast was
overworked, and should be Embarrassed
and rubbed down. Another man
advised her to go back a bit and take a
she would drive right on, sparks or no
sparks, the difficulty would relsedy
itself; while still another insisted that
unless a new tire be put on the wheel,
the whole outfit would collapse. These
conflicting counsels increased the con-
fusion of the distressed lady, but they
did not make the wheel go round.
just then a carriage drove up,
gentleman go out and asked what was
the matter. One of the bystanders
said it was breakdown, while each of
eleven others gave different explana-
ton as to why the wheel wouldn't go
round. The stranger examined the
turnout, led the pony forward step,
and as the sparks began flying, re-
marked: Madam, your horse, harness,
cart and wheel are all right The
sparks that the tire draws from the
curbstones are merely outward
symptoms of the inward ailment. The
real difficulty is not with the tire of the
wheel, but with the axle, or its ''box. ("
Just what the man did next it is not
necessary to state, but in less than ter
minutes the entire trouble was ended.
He had removed the cause instead of
teinporizing with the effect. As the
lady drove on rejoicing, someone
remarked: Glow few people in the
world reason down to the root of
things, and at the same time carry in
their heads the know how that makes
the wheels go round"
1t is just this lack of reasoning down
to the root of things that is to-day
causing intense suffering to thousands
of men and women; and for this suffer
ing, to a great extent, man is to
blame
Refined, intelligent, educated men,
who have spent eight or ten OF the
best years of their lives in colleges.
medical schools and hospital, cling to
the false, child-like theory of doctoring
the tire as it were, instead of curing
the axle, or its hot box. They
direct their attention to where they
see the sparks flying, instead of work
ing upon the hidden spot where the
real trouble lies The consequence is,
they never acquire the ''know how"
which enables them to regulate the
wheels of life.
When the sparks of pain fairly fly
from womans head, her back, her
limbs, or the most important and
sensitive organs of her body, it is as
senseless to resort to local applica-
tons, pain cures, or stimulants, as it
is to grease the tire, whip the horse, or
drive on regardless of consequences.
Those people try to cure symptoms
instead of reasoning to the root of
things and removing the cause of the
disorder. The result is physical patch
work and failure instead of success
A most conspicuous exception to this
rule is the man who, nearly thirty
years ago, proclaimed that he would
not make such mistakes, but would de
vote himself to reasoning to the root
of disease. and to the discovery of
new principle for it's treatment Many
thousand letters of gratitude from
former patients in all parts of America
have told this physician that he has
been successful beyond even his own
expectations. This man is DIR. r. v.
more than a quarter of a century been
the head of the most complete and
successful Health Institute in America,
the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, and whose Golden Medical
Discovery "Favorite Prescription"
and Pheasant Pellets" have converted
thousands of men and women, in every
state of this union and in many foreign
lands, from absolute misery to physical
vigor and happiness, and whose Peo
pies Common Sense Medical Adviser
has had the greatest sale of any med
ical work ever ublished-amounting
to over 6SO,000 copies.
In his research and practices DR.
Pierce proceeded on the common sense
principle that the blood could carry
life or destruction to every part of the
body. That the liver was the house
keeper" of the human system. That
when the liver becomes disordered the
blood is charged with poison, which is
carried through the body and produces
such ailments us consumption, heart
disease, scrofulous and bronchial dis
orders, as well as dropsy, rheumatism
and female complaints" His Golden
Medical Discovery" acts especially
upon the liver and other excretory or
gans. 1t cleanses the blood, repairs,
invigorates and gives new life to the
whole system. The action of this
'.Discoverv'' is aided in stubborn cases
of costiveness by DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, which also embody an entirely
new principle. While there are not
three cases of these diseases in a hum
bred which Dr. Pierce's remedies will
not relieve or cure, it happens some
times that chronic and seriously com
plicated and long neglected disorders
require additional home-trea tment. In
all such rare and exceptional cases DR.
Pierce will, upon receiving particulars
in writing, send, free of charge, such
plain, straightforward, confidential
advice as will enable the sufferer tn
find relief and cure if the case is
durable. All corresponds is treated
in strict confidence.
