aboard and any one of the crew would
cheerfully have gone without his own
| share for the sake of the suffering woman
and her little one. 1t was water, water
everywhere. but not a drop to drink"
The pangs of thirst are a thousand times
worse than hunger, and grow fiercer and
fercer until the victim is frequently driv-
en- to madness. 1t was on a morning when
the crew seemed as near the verge of in
sanity as sane men can be, that they sight
ed another vessel and flying distress sig
mails which were promptly answered, made
a piteous appeal for water. The other cap
tain, framing his mouth in his hands,
shouted back sharply; tits fresh water
all about you, let down your buckets!
The storm had driven the Eleanora into
the mouth of the Amazon river, that
mighty stream one hundred and fifty. miles
broad at the mouth, and which, OVERLAPPING
the ocean nearly fifty leagues from shore,
is fresh water almost to the coast:
This strange, true story furnishes a
striking allegory for the thousands who
are wrecked in health, with no apparent
prospect of recovery; hopeless, helpless
and despairing; when in reality, If they
only knew the truth the means of health
and restoration are close at hand.
Just as the crew Of the Eleanora cried for
water, so in all conditions Of disease the
different organs of the body are crying
mutely for a supply of healthy, nourishing
blood. There is as much difference be-
tween diseased and healthy blood as there
q
a drop of healthy blood under the micro
scope and you will see 1t Is filled with lot
of little reddish, circular disks, looking like
minute counters" or Chips" such as are
used in card games. Mixed in with these
are few white ones, about one white to
three hundred red ones. These are the red
and white corpuscles Of the blood. In con-
sumption or any wasting disease" the
red corpuscles of health gradually disap-
pear until they are almost entirely gone.
A very sick person may nave as much
blood in his veins as a healthy one, but
it is changed and weak and loaded with
impurities. 1t will no more nourisn the
diseased organs than salt water viii sat
The biood-making and blood-cleansing
organs have lost their power Of supplying
healthy blood. They can neither furnish
the needed red corpuscles nor carry away
the four impurities. No matter how much
food is taken nor how good II Is; II gives
reach the diseased tissues. In the midst Of
plenty they are furnishing: "Nourish-
ment nourishment, everywhere, but not
a drop to drink!'
That Is the cry of the lung tissues vast
ing away in consumption. Inc throat ana
bronchial tubes. the heart, and kidneys,
and skin and joints; all are suffering from
the same cause; the life-current which
ought to supply them with sustenance and
nurture only brings them poison. They
are furnishing for good blood.
This foundation fact about disease is
now generally acknowledged; but it was
discovered nearly thirty years ago by DR..
IT,
clan of Buffalo, n. Y. He was almost the
first physician in this country to take the
radical view that consumption is a blood
disease. and the only way to reach and
cure II Is to cleanse and enrich the blood.
He took step further than others: He
believed that medicine IS the science of
cure He declared that a medicine must
and could be found which should enable
the blood-producing and blood-purlfying
organs to perform their work. He made
up his mind to discover this medicine and
he did.
After patient and thorough investiga-
ton he discovered the remedy which has
since become famous as Doctor Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery, the most re-
uarkable remedy in the history of medi-
cine for the cure Of consumption and all
wasting and scrofulous diseases and i'm
poverished conditions OF the blood. For
more than twenty-five years now the Dis
coyery" has been curing the so-called "in-
durable" It's wonderful efficacy Is proven
beyond the shadow Of a doubt; not I'm a
few cases only, but literally by tops OF
thousands.
