When a business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night, where he is
so shattered of nerve that II is torture to
even remain In his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the floor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with a round turn.
If he does not, 1t means nervous prOstration
and mental, il not physical, death.
For a mar who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up.
put him on his feet and make a man Of him
again. II is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. II goes to the bottom Of things.
1t searches out the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one Of two spots aud hit that first
cause the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. II promptly transforms a weak stom-
ach into a healthy one. II facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. II gives a
man an appetite like a boys. 1t invigor-
ates the liver. 1t fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food, ard makes
It pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filed with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, It does not take long to make a man
well and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
hbers. II puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. Il
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.

medicine stores.

ject IF the devil should come to-
night" The speaker was an eloquent
man and drew IA vivid picture Of what
would happen under these circum-

present. After listening for a time
he was seen to be uneasy and was
evidently greatly relieved when the
services were over. Afterwards he
was asked what the trouble was dur
ing the services aud he said: "The
