raj precautions dictated by common sense
When mans stomach and liver get I'm.
set and fail to do their regular work, he can
be certain that something worse is bound to
follow, if he doesn't look out for himself
Headaches, indigestion, biliousness and
constipation are simply Natures warnings
that the enemy of serious disease is coming
to attack him.
The sensible thing to do is to immedi.
ately fortify the system with DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t vitalizes aud
invigorates the entire constitution. 1t helps
the liver to filter out all bilious impurities.
It gives the digestive and nutritive organs
power to extract nourishment from the food
and turn it into rich, red, healthy blood. It
creates appetite, good digestion, and solid,
muscular strength.
1t is far superior to the mere temporary
stimulus of malt-extracts. 1t is better than
cod liver oil emulsions because it is assimi-
lated by the weakest stomach.
About fifteen years ago" writes Mr. John Nc.

There is C rtain professor in a GER

interesting, but this lecture was tho
most Interesting OF bis course 10 tho
300 boys who heard him, aud the whole

their uso and misuse, and what they
suggested. Tho gist of what he said
was that there was no moro roasun why

whip across it all in gold than that
houses should have sleeves for roofs.
And that as 1t was extremely foolish to
nut big sieve on your house for 4

have Il reason in what you wear AZ we'll
