HERoIsM IS IN THE BLOOD.
"Rlood will tell is an axiom that In

CAN A MAN MAKE HIMSELF A HEho
"a mans first duty" said Henry Ward
peecher. in a grand sermon on human
d.ya,onment. ..is to be a good animal

WHY PEOPLE DESPAIR.
Tn the depth of sickness and wretch
edness. men feel that their days of cour-
aye and usefulness are ended, women
feel that they will nevermore be equai
to the duties and burdens that come up
on a wife and mother: but too often this
sad conclusion, and the deep ana nope
Iess despondency that accompanies 1t, are
entirely erroneous.
II comes because manly mentality and
womanly courage have been sapped ana
undermined by the subtle. disintegratins
noison of physical debility and mai
nutrition. The spirit ceases to be Will
ing, because the flesh is weak; the blood
Is IMPOVERISHED, the nutritive powers de-
nleted. 1t is by overcoming these ply
sical disabilities and restoring the forces
of nutrition to full and complete vitality
that DIR. Pierce's wonderful Golden Med
ical Discovery gives back to men and
women their true birthright Of hopeful
ness. endurance and heroism.
