geSt1On ana A d1SOTdered liver
nean that man is fighting the first round
with death. Uuless he manages to strike
the knockout blow it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise Of some serious rnalady. When a
mans stomach IS weak and his digestion
is impaired, the life giving elements of the
food he takes are not assinilated into the
blood The blood gets thin and weak, and
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
uutriment, II receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this system of starva-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally the
weakest organ will give way first. If a
Tuan IS naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
tion. If he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis
asthma, or some disease of the air-passages
If he has a naturally sluggish liver he will
suffer from serious bilious or rnalaria1 at
tack. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cures all disorders of the stomach, di-
gestion and liver. 1t purifes the blood and
fills II with the life giving elements of the
food that build new and healthy tissue. It
IS the great blood-1uaker and fesh-builder
and nerve tonic. 1t cures % per cent of
all cases of consumption. Thousands have
testified to their recovery from this dread
disease under this great medicine.
