Cupid breaks the bow at the sig hit
of face full of pimples. Hollow
cheeks, sunken eyes, and a salIow
complexion will defy bis best inten-
tions. Beauty is more than skin
deep. The skin is merely the sur
face on which is written in plain
characters the condition ofthe body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is good for the complexion be-
cause it makes the whole body
healthy-because it clears and puri-
fies the blood, makes the digestion
strong and clears out impurities OF
all kinds. BY increasing the ability
to assimilate nutritious food, and by
the infusion of its own ingredients
it enriches the blood and SO makes
solid, healthy flesh. 1t cures diseases
of the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels,
skin and scalp, simply because all
these diseases spring from the same
cause-a disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood.

Why Attempt TO Cure

catarrh by the use of so called blood
remedies? That catarrh is no t
caused by blood troubles is self-evi-
dent when you reflect that attacks
are always due to sudden climatic
changes or exposure, and occur most
frequently during the winter and
spring, though the blood is as pure
then as in the summer or tall. A
remedy which quickly relieves and
cures the cattharal attacks has been
found in Ely's Cream Balm.
