Good habits,


disorders Of the digestive organs, nine
terths of the medical books in the world
could be safely destroyed. Not only the
minor maladies but the majority of serious
diseases have their inception in disorder
ed digestion. Consumption is undoubtedly
the most deadly enemy with which man.
kind has to contend. Like all other vast.
ing diseases. it has its origin in disorders
of the digestive organs. As result of these
disorders, the appetite falls of; the life -giv-
ing elements of the food are not properly
assimilated: the blood becomes thin and i'm
pure; and all the tissues of the body are i'm
perfectly and improperly nourished; the
lungs become clogged with inert, half dead
tissues that offer an attractive soil for the
invasion of the germs of consumption. It
has been said thousands of times that con.
sumption is incurabie. 1t is not.
Nine.y-eight per cent of all cases of con.
sumption arc cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t corrects all disorders
of the digestive organs, invigorates the liver
and makes the appetite keen and the assim-
ilation perfect; it makes new blood, pure
blood. and lots of it. 1t builds new and
healthy tissue. 1t is the great flesh-b builder
II acts directly on the lungs, driving out all
impurities and disease germs. Thousands
have testified TO its merits. All good drug.

took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
eczema and it cured me. I can always find a

3Good health is the best endowment.
Those who have it cannot be too careful to
preserve it. Constipation is the wors,
enemy of good health. 1t causes nearly
every disorder known to physicians DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are sure, swift,
safe and permanent cure for constipation.
