gestion and a disordered liver mean that man is fighting the first round with death. Unless he manages to strike the knockout blow, it means that death will come up iii the second round ill the gu1se of some serious rnalady. When a mans stomach is weak and his digestion IS impaired, the life-givirg elements of the food he takes are not assiinilated into the blood, The blood gets thin and weak, and the body slowly starves. Tn the meantime the disordered liver and the sluggish bow els have forced into the blood all manner of impurities. The body is hungry and eagerly consumes anything that the blood stream carries to it. In place of healthy nutrlment. 1t receives for food foul poisons that should have been excreted by the bowels. Continued, this system of starva- ton combined with poisoning, will wreck every organ ill the body. Naturally, the weakest organ will give way first. If a man is naturally nervous, he will break down with nervous exhaustion or prostra- ton. If he inherits weak lungs the con- sequence will be consumption, bronchitis. asthma or some disease of the air passages, If he has naturally sluggish liver, he will suffer from serious bilious or malarial at tack. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry cures all disorders of the stomach, di- gestion and liver. It purihes the blood and fills it with the 1ife-giving elements of the food that build new and healthy tissue. It IS the great blood-maker and flesh builder and nerve tonic. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption. Thousands have testihed to their recovery from this dread disease under this great medicine.
 Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation.
