The Wheels Would Not Turn

started the sparks flew from where the
fire touched the stone. That is why
the lady got out. A crowd gathered
and gazed curiously while she examin-
ed the horse, the harness, the vehicle
and the wheel that wouldn't go round.
A policeman came forward and sugges-
ted that the horse was balky. A gen.
tlemen who belonged to the society
with the long name said the beast was
overworked, and should be unharness-
ed and rubbed down. Another man adj
vised her to back biz and take fresh
start. A fourth suggested that if she
would drive right on, sparks or no
sparks, the difficulty would remedy it.
self; while still another insisted that
unless new tire be put on the wheel,
the whole outfit would collapse. These
conflicting counsels increased the con-
fusion of the distressed lady, but they
did not make the wheel go round.
Just then a carriage drove up, gen
tlemen got out and asked what was the
matter. One of the bystanders said it
was breakdown, while each of eleven
others gave a different explanation as
to why the wheel wouldn't go round.
The stranger examined the turnout, led
the pony forward a step, ana, as the
sparks began flying, remarked: Ma
dam, your horse, harness, cart and
wheel are all right. The sparks that
the tire draws from the curbstones are
merely outward symptoms of the in
ward ailment. The real difficulty is
not with the tire of the wheel, but with
it's axle or it's box" Just what the
man did next it is not necessary to
state, but in less than ten minutes the
entire trouble was ended. He had re-
moved the cause instead of temporizing
with the effect.As the lady drove on re-
joicing someone remarked:
How few people in the world reason
down to the root of things, and at the
same time carry in their heads the
know how that makes the wheel go
round
1t is just this lack of reasoning down
to the root of things that is today
causing intense suffering to thousands
of women: and for this suffering to a
great extent man is to blame.
Refined, intelligent, educated men,
who have spent eight or ten of the best
years of their lives in colleges, medi-
cal schools and hospitals, cling to the
false, child-like theory of doctoring the
tire, as it were, instead of curing the
axle, or it's "hot- box" They direct
their attention to where they see the
sparks flying instead of working upon
the hidden spot where the real trou-
BILE lies. The consequence is they new
er require the know how" which en-
ables them to regulate the wheels of
life.
When the sparks of pain fairly fly
from a woman's head, her back, her
limbs, or the most important and SEN
sitive organs of her body it is as sense
less to resort to local applications"
pain cures, or stimulants, as it is to
grease the tire, whip the horse, or drive
on regardless of consequences. These
people try to cure symptoms instead of
reasoning to the root of things and re-
moving the cause of the disorder.
The result is physical patchwork and
failure instead OF success.
A most conspicuous exception to this
rule is the man, who nearly thirty
years ago, proclaimed that he would
not make such mistakes, but would de-
vote himself to reasoning to the root
of disease and to the discovery of a
new principle for its treatment. Many
thousand letters of gratitude from for
mer patients in all parts of America.
have told this physician that he has
been successful even beyond his own
expectations. The man is DR.. r. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n! Y, who has for
more than a century been the head
of the most complete and successful
health institute in America-the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, and
whose Golden Medical Discovery"
"Favorite Prescription" and Pellets"
have converted thousands of women in
every state of the Union and in many
foreign lands, from absolute misery to
physical vigor and happiness, and
whose Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser has had the greatest sale of
any Medical work ever published
amounting to over 100000 copies.
In his research and practice DR..
Pierce proceeded on the common sense
principle that the blood could carry
life or destruction to every part of the
body. That the Liver was the house
keeper" of the human system. That
when the liver becomes disordered the
blood is charged with poison which is
carried through the body and produces
such ailments as consumption, heart
disease, scrofulous and bronchial dis
orders, as well as dropsy, rheumatism,
and Female complaints. His Cold
en- Medical Discovery acts especially
upon the liver and other excretory or
gans. 1t cleanses, repairs and gives
new life to the whole system. The
action of his Discovery" is aided in
stubborn cases of costiveness by DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which also
embody an entirely new principle.
While there-are not five cases in hun
dred which DR.. Pierce's remedies will
not cure, or relieve, it happens some
times that chronic and seriously COM
plicated and long neglected disorders
