uncertain elements. No track, no course,
no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may
not bring destruction.
So with the sick man. His disordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain. No organ can be depended on
to do its normal work. The stomach will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bill
ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste. No
regular nourishing or purifying process Is
going on. There is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering.
In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated con-
ditions, what is needed is to change the alb
normal, cratic operations of the system
into a natural, regular, straightforward pro-
gress in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
It directly regulates the vitalizing func-
tons. 1t sets the stomach and liver into
natural, healthy operation and gives the
blood -making glands power to manufacture
an abundance of pure, rich blood.
1t creates appetite; builds up muscular
strength, and banishes nervousness and
neuralgia. AS it can be assimilated by the
weakest stomach, its nourishing properties
are far superior to nauseating cod liver oil
in severe coughs and all wasting diseases.
The druggist who recommends something
else as Just as good" is thinking more of
his extra profit on the Just as good kind
than of your welfare.
