diet, and the risk of life involved
1t is not necessary that you eat glass
and nails in order to resemble this
mOnStrOSity. The man who plays the
part OF the human ostrich is an eX-
ample of depraved appetite in its most
extreme and exaggerated form. The
depraved appetite of the average candi-
date for dyspepsia does not go farther
than hot bread and biscuit, rich pas
tries, highly seasoned dishes, and ex-
cessiVely greasy foods. Add to this i'm
proper cooking, haste in eating, and
lack of proper rest after a meal, and
you have condition very likely to re-
suit in disease and suffering.
Let it be remembered that the sole
object of food is nutrition; nutrition not
for the body as whole only, but nutri-
ton for the varying needs of the sepa-
rate parts of the body; for the muscles,
the nerves, the brain, the blood When
the stomach is in a state of healthy
activity, Nature, by her remarkable
processes, takes the food you supply,
and distributes its starches and sugars.
it's salts and phOSphateS according to
the needs of the separate organs of the
body. When the stomach is not in
state of healthy activity, Nature does
her best, but the various dependent or
ganSs of the body are put on short
rations. There is not nourishment
enough to supply them properly,
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
A weakened stomach. A stomach in
capable of performing it's functions
fully. The liver and bIood-making
glands work imperfectly. The natural
result is that the food is imperfectly
digested and only partly assimllated
and the channels of life are chOked and
stopped by waste and putrescent mat
W
trouble is. They locate it in the stOm-
ach, because they have pain there after
eating, an irregular craving for food,
or an appetite that eating does not sat
isfy There is heaviness after a meal,
a feeling Of undue fullness. 1t is hard
to breathe, there is such a stuffy feel
ing about the chest. There may be
palpitatiOn or irregular action of the
heart, and the sufferer fmagines he has
heart disease. Perhaps the stomach
sours and there are bitter riSings and
belchings. These symptoms park vari-
Gus forms and stages of weak StOm-
ach." They will not all be present in
every case or in the earlier stages of the
disease. Any one of thse symptoms To-
Gates the trouble in the stomach and
the digestive and nutritive functions,
which are disturbed.
Quite often there is no apparent con-
nectiOn between the stomach and the
symptoms of the disease. The victim
thinks it oliver trouble" heart failure,
or lung disease. There is a dull pain,
perhaps in the back or the side. The
spine aches, sometimes 'in spots" and
sometimes through its whole length.
There may be a sharp 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 rot. But that is where the
trouble is. The stomach has not been
able to properly feed the organs de-
pendent upon it. They are starving,
they are weak, and they show their
weakness in the aches and pains that
affiict the various parts of the body.

A COMMON SENSE VIEW.
IF so many diseases begin in the
stomach and nutritive system. why
should rot some one remedy be COM
| pounded, which by healing the stom-
ach would necessarily cure the dis
eases of the organs dependent on it?
This was the great question which DIR.
r. V. Pierce set himself to answer.
Then followed a period of profound
study of the value of Alternative and
tonic medicines.
The result was DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, 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 dis
eases, 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, Gal
liza Co.. Ohio. He writes: Il suffered
from a dreadful feeling and weakness,
and in 1893 1 lost my health altogether.
/ went to one of the best doctors in the
State and he said 1 had heart, stom-
ach, liver and kidney trouble. His
treatment did me no good. l tried diff
ferent kinds of patent medicines but
got worse all the time; was so weak
that I could not walk any distance. II
