name said that the beast was over
worked and should be Embarrassed
and rubbed down. Another man adj
vised her to back bit and take new
start. A fourth suggested that If she
would drive right on, sparks or no
sparks, the difficulty would remedy
itself; while still another insisted that
unless 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 q carriage drove up, n
gentleman got out and asked her what
was the matter One of the bystand-
ers said it was a breakdown, while
each of eleven others gave different
explanation as to why the wheel
wouldn't go round. The stranger eX-
amined the turnout, lead the pony
forward step, and as the sparks be-
gan flying, remarked; Madame, your
horse, harness, cart and wheel are all
right. The sparks that the tire draws
from the curbstones are merely out
ward symptoms of the inward ailment.
The real difficulty is not with the tire
of the wheel, but with its axle, or its
''box." Just what the man did next 1t
is not necessary to state, but in less
than ten minutes the entire trouble
was ended. He had removed the
cause instead of temporizing with the
effect. AS the lady drove on rejoicing
someone remarked: "How 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 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 hospitals, cling to
the false, childlilSe 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 working
upon the hidden spot, where the real
trouble lies. The consequence Is, they
never require the "know how" which
enables them to regulate the wheels
of life.
When the sparks of pain fairly fly
from o woman's head, her back, her
limbs, or the most important and SEN
sitive organs of her body, it is as
senseless to resort to 'local applica-
tons" pain cures, or stimulants, as 1t
is to grease the tire, whip the horse,
or drive on regardless of consequences.
Those people try to cure symptoms in
stead 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
devote himself to reasoning to the
root of disease, and to the discovery
of new principal for its 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
Dr. r. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
who has for more than quarter of u
century been the head of the most
complete and successful Health Insti-
tute in America, the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, and whose
Golden Medical Discovery" "Favor-
tie Prescription" and pleasant Pei
let's 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 Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser has had the
greatest sale of any medical work ever
Notwithstanding TO over CSC, 900
copies.
In his research and practice 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 disordeIed the
blood is charged with poison which is
carried through the body and produces
such ailments as consumption, heart
disease, scrofulous and bronchial dis
orders, as well as dropsy, rheumatism,
and "female complaints" His "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" acts especially
upon the liver and other excretory
organs. 1t cleanses the blood, repairs,
invigorates, and gives new life to the
whole system. The action of this
discovery" is aided in stubborn cases
Of costiveness by Or. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, which also embody an entirely
new principle. While there are not
three cases of these diseases in hun
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 treatment
In all such rare and exceptional cases
DIR. Pierce will, upon receiving par
ticulars in writing, send free Of charge
such plain, straightforward, confiden-
tial advice as will enable the sufferer
to find relief and cure If the case is
durable. All correspondence is treated
in strict confidence.
