A sick person tryizg to keep up on mere
stimulating tonics is like any one pretend
ing to swim while supported by belt. The
instant the support is withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from a deep
seated impairment of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration The only good that any med
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself
The debilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state Of rnal-nutrition can only be overcome
by a scientific remedy like DR.. Pierce's

rectly upon the dig -stive and blood making
organs, and effects the nutritive transtorr1a-
tion of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality TO every

IT is vastly more nutritious than malt

but feeds them with health. II IS better
than cod liver oil emulsions. 1t is assini-
