friends vainly urge upon him the food he
cannot eat and which brings him no nour-

Men and women who have sunken so
far into weakness and disease that the
whole body seems to be permeated and
poisoned by it have found health,
strength and vgor through the transform.

Golden Medical Discovery" which DR..
R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, proffered,
thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hui
mainly.
During all the years since then this mar
velous Discovery has been building up
weak and debilitated constitutions by its
extraordinary influence upon the human,
nutritive system. 1t gives the digestive or

pirate every life giving element from the
food taken into the stomach and trans

PIT and THE PENDULUM
A Prisoner Waiting to be
Hacked by Times
Scythe
ONE MINUTE OF LIFE LEFT
Thousands Whose Situations
Are Scarcely Less Terrible
May Easily and Readily Find
FeIp,

A man lies flat on his back, bound so
that he cam t move an inch lie is IN
dungeon, at first dark as well, but in a
few minutes light in the ceiling, far up,
shows mechanical figure of Time with his
scythe The figure descends slowly, the
scythe swings, and the prisoner realizes
that unless some unexpected help should
come. he will be slowly cut to pieces.
What followed is told by Edgar-Allen Poe
in the fantastic story called 1.-The Pit and
the Pendulum
The man awaiting the approach Of a
dreadful death is a type of large class of
unfortunates who, entangled in the strang-
ling coils of an octopus, have lost all hope
Of freedom ! his monster is Morphine
Perhaps the victim is yet reveling IN that
glorious state of exhileration which follows
the first use of the drug. If so, like the
man in Poes story, he has not noticed the
light in the ceiling and is unaware of his
danger Maybe the disease has progress
ed so far that the sufferer notices a weak
ness Of the hearts action, that the general
h alth is feeble, the body poorly nourished,
the sight double This is soon followed by
a peculiar twitching of the muscles, a
numbness of the hands and feet and the
utter collapse of the nervous system The
victim now becomes restless and uneasy.
A feeling of dependency seizes him This
mental depression increases as one course
Of treatment after another fails utterly
The future is dark and filled with gloom
Days of wretchedness follow nights Of hor'
ror in endless procession His utter help
lessness to rid himself of the incubus add:
to his misery The terrible effects of the
deadly drug become more and more ap
parent Deeper and deeper he sinks into
the mire Of DIES air, until all hope of evel
being anything but slave in bondage j:
abandoned Remorse and apprehension
take possession of his mind, and the temp
tation to his miserable existence be-
comes almost overpowering.
But there are few situations completely
hol eless Poe's prisoner was rescued
when the SIS inging scythe was close to his
breast, and the victims of the Morphine
habit and their shattered nerves are re
stored to the enjoyment of life by system
of treatment which has been perfected b,
X. A Gum, NJ ID fl East 21st street
New York City, and which has yet to re
cord its first failure. 1t it not ''taperin:
off, or substitution process. 1t is harm
less as it is painless 1t does away witt
all desire for the drug, and quickly re
stores the shattered nervous system to it
normal condition 1t treats the condition
as a disease and not as habit 1t is sci
entifc and successful. For full particular
address as above.
