When d mall owns a blOoded
horse he is always careful of its
health. He looks after its diet and
is particular, that the feeding shall
be regular and right. While ne
il doing this it is likely as not that
he is himself suffering from some
disease or disorder. When the
trouble. gets so bad that he cannot
work, he will begin to give him
self the care he gave the horse at
the start. Good pure, rich, red
blood is the best insurance against
disease of any kind. Almost ali
diseases come from impure or i'm.
poyerished blood. Keep the blood
pure and strong and disease can
tind no foothold. That is the prin.
ciple upon which DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery works.
1t cleanses, purifes aud enriciles
the blood, puts and keeps the
whole body in perfect order; makes
appetite good, digestion strong,
assimilation perfect. 1t brings
ruddy, virile health. 1t builds
up solid, Wholcsome flesh (not fat)
when, from any cause, reduced be.
low the healthy standard.

The "era Of Alexandria" was
