When you are sick or "run down" or losing
flesh and strength. it simply shows that most
Of the vital force which you ought to get from
the food you eat is wasted and lost because the
digestive and nutritive functions only able
TO extract very small percentage of the nour-
jshment which the food contains.
That is why people grow thin and pale and
annotated in optic of the best food the market
affords; that is why people die Of consumption
in spite OF all the cod liver oil emulsions they
can swallow.
From all these wasting diseases and broken.
down conditions. DR.. Perce's Golden Medical
Discovery is thousand times better than any
amount of fat-foods because this Discovery"
acts directly upon the nutritiye organs and
gives them power to obtain all the nutritious
force giving elements out of every particle of
food which is eaten, aud 10 transform this
nonrishment into healthy vitality.
1t strengthens the digestive fluids; helps the
liver to clear out all bilious impurities; en-
ables the blood-making glands to pour into the
circulation fresh supply of pure, rich, highly
vitalized blood, which builds up new tissue,
solid flesh and muscular energy.
1t increases the percentage of nourishment
so immensely that loss is turned into gain, the
process of disease completely reversed and
turned into process Of health. DR.. Pierce's

The Stone Forest of Florissant, Colorado.
!Appleton's Popular Science Moniluyl
The silicified trees of the Florissant Basin
are marked curiosity Of the United States.
| They are less known than the "stone forest ,
of Arizona, or than the similar mausoleum
of the Yellowstone region, but it is only be-
cause they have not yet been brought to the
attention of the tourist. The trees are a.
the present time represented only by thei
stumps. In wandering over the greer
meadow the eye here and there rests upon
seemingly bald" spot. Over it are scat
tered white and yellow chips, and, for any
thing that the eye can itself distinguish
these could easily be the chips left in tn
path of work of arecently passing woodsman
The deception is absolute, and it belongs L
the stump as well. The knots and gnarl
aud annular rings are perfectly preserved
the bark stands in prominent relief both b,
ruggedness and color and all this not il
wood, but in the monumental substance O
stone. The precise manner in which tn
substitution of silica for wood was effected
cannot now be learned, but, in a genera
way, we know it to have been brought abou
; as the result of slow infiltration into tn
tree trunks of heated waters containin
silica in solution.
The remains are fairly numerous, but wha
strikes one with special establishment is til

means uncommon, and we measured thre
