 universal freedom.
 The spirit of liberty and right how ever shackled and handicapped in the beginning is bound in the final strug- gle to be the conQuering power. The Americans are winning because they ought to win. First of all, our cause is just. The irresistible gallantry and skill of our officers and men on land and sea are reinforced by the thrice powerful armament of conscious rectl- tude
 Whatever is wrong, irrational and un- natural cannot stand long before the overwhelming force of what is right and reasonable. We see the manifest power of natural and invulnerable law in every domain of action and fife.
 When Columbus, the learned and al- most inspired navigator, called upon unexplored oceans to surrender their hidden continents, he had behind him the great cosmio principles that he knew could never be gainsaid.
 When Newton formulated the uni versal law that holds all suns and stars together in their places, he knew that every physical object, big or little, in the whole round world must inevita bly, and for all time obey the princi- pie that he so confidently enunciatad.
 When Watts discovered the powers of steam. and Stephenson harnessed them in locomotive shape; when Franklin challenged the clouds and Ed ison carried his battle into the ethe- real currents and vibrations-each one of these aggressive geniuses was up held and dominated by the conscious ness of deep, enduring principles which reached down into the very ultimate nature of things and there found un- failing sustenance and support.
 In the great field of medical research and therapeutic physiology pr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, has, for thirty years, been prosecuting continuous, unintermittent campaign against dis ease. From the very earliest days Of his entry upon the field of me 1ical practice, he has been sustained ard re- inforced by the invincible principles of nutritive and metabolic physiology.
 He has known that he was right and the result of his endeavors has been continuous, unfailing demonstration and justification of his principles. In originating his now famous Golden Medical Discovery" he founded his faith upon the great basic principle of digestive nutrition. He recognized that nature carries on and sustains all physical life through the digestive and nutritive organism. and that through this system alone 1t is possible to rad ically conquer disease.
 He appreciated the great pnysiolog ical truth that nature, working accord ing to her own chosen methods, will accomplish what it is impossible to oc- complish by artificial interference; and that any medicine which is TO assist in carrying out the purposes of nature must work in strict subSeryience 70 her own laws and principles; must give her the assistance she calls for at pre- cisely the point where it is needed, and rely upon her to use it to the best ad- vantage.
 Armed and equipped with this invio- lable principle, Dr. Pierce has confi- dently and boldly, during the last thirty years, called upon all the most stubborn powers of disease to sapitu- late; and their unconditional surrender is recorded in the overflowing testi- mony of living men and women.
 The irresistible power of this match less Discovery" lies in it's deep and searching influence upon the digestive and nutritive organism. It gives di- rect tone to the stomach glands, en- flowing them with capacity to secIete digestive fluids of necessary quantity and strength. It creates wide-awake normal activity of the liver, and ena- bles it to filter the vile, poisonous dregs of bilious impurity out of the circula- tion. It gives the blood-making glands keen, assimilative power to transform the nutritious elements of food into healthy, red blood, rich with vital oxygen and life-building power.
 What 1t does for the nutritive organ ism 1t does for the whole body. It clears the circulation, the skin, the ex- cretory ducts, the bronchial tubes and lungs of all bilious products and other elements of disease It furnishes na- ture with the elementary constituents and power with which to fight and overcome every abnormal, impure, de- bilitated and impoverished condition.
