Look at the people you
pass ON the street. Their
faces tell the story of their
lives. They tell the story
of penury or plenty, of re-
finement or coarseness, of
health or disease.
Three = fourths of these
people are not "exactly
we'll" They are Not all
" sick" perhaps, but many
of them are, and few are
quite hale and hearty.
Consumption has set its
stamp of pallor and ema-
citation on many of them.
Dyspepsia has drawn lines
of fretfulness and worry
about their eyes, and
mouths. Impure blood is
showing itself in blotches
and pimples. One man
has "a little trouble " with
his kidneys. Some of the
women have chronic con-
stipation, and the other ills
that constipation brings.
The most pitiful of all
faces is the consumptive
one. Very likely 1t has
been through the other
stages and has at previous
times shown dyspepsia,
'sallowness and bad blood.
Consumption doesn't come
all at once. II is n creep
ing disease. II comes on
gradually under cover of a
hundred differing symp-
toms. II Is the most
dreadful of all diseases,
but 1t can be cured if you
begin in time. DR.. Pierce's

will cure it. 1t will cure
all the things that lead to
