A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEr1ANDED.

A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de-
posts i'll its vaults whatever wealth we NAV
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against . a rainy day" as reserve fund
we're i'll condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon i'll the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger i'll getting thin because it's
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain i'll aohole-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
if our liver be inactive and our blood i'm
pure. or if our flesh be reduced beioy a
healthy standard. What is required is an
increase i'll our ,M-fehiiNe' strength. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery euriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely remedy fgreat value. But
when we make positive statement that %
per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the Discovery" it seems like
bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that
you make thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
By sending to the Worlds Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, n. Y, YOU can get
