 The trouble Is that people in this con- dition are often content to seek some palliative, some tablet or other, which will relieve the immediate trouble. This merely hides the symptoms. It temporarily stops the manifestation of disease, but 1t does nothing to cure the ailment A man might as we'll suppose that he could stop the flight of time by stopping his watch, as to imagine he has stopped disease by stopping its symptoms.
 The need in such condition is rad ical remedy, a remedy which will begin with the cause of the trouble and reach out to the various effects. The need is of a remedy which can be counted on to cure, and in curing to re-establish the entire system on a sound basis of health To provide such a medicine as this many physicians have tried and one physician has succeeded It has been the pleasure of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Inva- lids Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. T., to have devised and placed at the service of humanity that healing preparation, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The success of this medicine in curing diseases of the stomach and alimentary and nutritive systems places 1t above every known remedy available to the sick and suffer ing The action of this remedy is en- tirely philosophic. It's ingredients, care fully sought in years of patient experi- ment and compounded with the most exact skill, are chosen with regard to their alterative, properties, properties which give the Discovery" the power to alter or change the morbid or un- healthy condition of the several or gans upon which the health of the en- tire body depends. Experiment and ex- perience have established the fact that a large percentage of diseases have their origin in a deranged condition of the stomach, the organs of digestion and nutrition and the blood making glands. It was found that affections of the liver, the lungs, the heart, the kidneys and the nervous system were not cured when the organs specially affected were directly treated But when the treatment was directed to the alteration of the conditions Of the stomach, the digestive and nutritive tracts and the blood-making glands, these remote diseases of heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and nerves were cured as the stomach was cured On this ex- perience was based the axiom first for mulated by pr. Pierce:
 "DISEASES WHICH ORIGINATE IN
 THE STOMACH MUST BE CURED
 THROUGH THE STOMACH"
 This would seem to be a self-evident proposition. Take an illustration in the flower garden at your home. There's a rose. for example. It's leaves begin to curl, its petals to droop, it does not grow. You know that the life Of the plant comes from the soil. It's in the soil you must look for the cause of the failing rose tree. You can give the rose :; supporting staff, crutch to lean on. but while this supports the rose it won't save it. It still droops and weak ems. Go down into the soil search out the cause at the roots. It's from the soil that the flower gets it's nourishment, it's life, it's strength, its color. In the soil lies the secret of it's disease. What the soil is to the plant the blood is to the body-the source of vitality. It is from the blood that come the strength of body, brightness of brain, clearness of complexion, which are the supreme signs of health. And the blood out of which the whole physical fabric of the body is built is manufactured in the laboratory of the stomach and its as- sociated organs, and depends both as to quantity and quality on the condition of these organs to properly provide pure blood.
 It is here that the healing properties of Golden Medical Discovery" come into play. It restores the power of as- similation so that the requisite nourish- ment is provided for the separate parts of the body-nerve, muscle, blood and bone. It pushes off and casts out the inert and useless matter which poisons the blood and clogs the system. It makes new blood, pure in quality. abundant in quantity, which pours a healthful tide through the whole cir culatory system It makes sound flesh and healthy fat, not the sflabby fat and loose flesh which result from the use
