the human ostrich is an example OF de-

exaggerated form. The depraved appe-

you have condition very likely TO result
in disease and suffering.
Let it be remembered that the sole OBJ
ject Of food is nutrition; nutrition not for
the bosy as a whole only, but nutrition
for the varying needs of the separate
parts of the body; for the muscles the
nerves. the brain, the blood. When the

takes the food you supply, and distributes
its starches and sugars, its salts and
phosphates according 10 the needs of the
separate organs of the body. When the
stomach Is not in a state of healthy ac-
uyity. nature does her best. but the vari-
Gus dependent organs of the body are put
on short rations- There is not nOurish-
ment enough to supply them properly.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN.
a weakened stomach. A stomach in
capable of performing its functions fully.
The liver and blood-making glands work
imperfectly. The natural result is that
the food is imperfectly digested and only
partly assimilated and the channels Of
life are chOked and stopped by waste and
putrescent matter. Some people know
where the trouble is. They locate it in
the stomach, because they have pain
there after eating, an irregular craving
for food, or an appetite that eating does
not satisfy. There is heaviness after
meal, a feeling of undue fullness. II is
hard to breathe. there is such a stufTy
feeling about the chest. There may be
palpitation or irregular action of the
heart and the sufferer imagines he has
heart disease Perhaps the stomach
sours, and there are bitter risings, and
belchings. These symptoms mark various
forms and stages of weak stomach. -
They will not all be present in every case
or in the earlier stages of the disease
Any one Of these symptoms locates the
trouble in the stomach and the digestive
and nutritiye functions, which are dis
turbed.
Quite often there is no apparent COnnec-
ton between the stomach and the symp-
toms of the disease. The victim thinks it
''liver trouble" heart failure. or lung dis
ease There is Il dull pain, perhaps in the
back or the side. The spine aches. some
times ''in spots" and sometimes through
stitch or pain occasionally. Exercise
makes the limbs tremble and the heart
beat violently. Perhaps to some of these
symptoms there is added an obstinate
stubborn cough.
WHAT IS THE MATTER NOW?
1t is another case of weak stomach
But that is not where the pain is Very
likely not. But that is where the trouble
is. The stomach has not been able to
properly feed the organs dependent upon
it. They are starving. they are weak
and they show their weakness in the
aches and pains that afflict the various
parts of the body. What will set the
stomach right? There is one remedy
practically infallible in its results. and
that one remedy is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures because it is
made to cure Just the conditions of the
stomach which give rise to disease.
A COMMON SENSE VIEW.
If so many diseases begin in the stom-
ach and nutritive system, why should
not some one remedy be compounded,
which by healing the stomach would nee
essarily cure the diseases of the organs
dependent on it? This was the great
question which DR.. R. V. Pierce set him
self to answer. Then followed a period
of profound study of the value of alter
ative and tonic medicines.
The result was DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, a medicine for the
stomach and the whole digestive and
nutritive system. The soundness of DR..
Pierce's original theory, that diseases
which originate in the stomach must be
cured through the stomach, has been
proved in thousands of cases, where one
or several of the chief organs of the body
were involved in wasting diseases, and
an entire cure has been wrought by the
use of the Golden Medical Discovery"
BY way of proof take the case of Rev.
C. L. Mundell of Pinegrove, Gallia Co.,
Ohio. He writes: II suffered from
dreadful feeling and weakness, and in
1898 / lost my health altogether. / went
to one of the best doctors in the State
and he said / had heart, stomach, liver
and kidney trouble. His treatment did
me no good. / tried different kinds of
patent medicines but got worse all the
time; was so weak that l could not walk
any distance. If l walked up hill or a
little fast it seemed as though my heart
would jump out. / had almost given up
all hope, and my money was all gone
Was scarcely able to make a living
Finally I saw an advertisement in one
of the country papers that for twenty-one
one-cent stamps DR.. Pierce would send
one of his Common Sense Medical Ad-
visers.' So / sent and got one and be-
