sadly remarked young America all
over. Nothing too swift for them to race
against" YES, you couldn't find a filter
exempliication of the familiar saying,
The child is the father of the man than
in that group Of children racing against the
train. It's but a preliminary heat of the
great race their parents are engaged in. As
a physician l realize as perhaps you do
not, " he. continued, the erroneous change
that fifty years have made in our national
life. People point back to grandmothers
and greatgrandmothers and say
LOOK AT THEM
Compare them with the women of to-day
How straight they were and how strong,
how hardy and how helpful they were,
how heartily they ate and how heartily
they laughed.
To-day, as men and women, millions
of us do in earnest what those children did
in play we're keyed up to the stTaiuing
point all the time, and the nerves won't
stand the daily strains and drains without
protest"
There is a ton of solid fact to reflect on,
suggested by the statement just quoted.
What are we going to dor This is the
age of steam, the age of electricity. We
must keep up in
THE GREAT RACE.
But now long can we keep up ! NO longer,
relatively, than the children kept up their
race with the train. What we need is
more Drawn, more blood and better blood.
Strength of body depends IN a pure and
plentiful blood current, for science has
never advanced a fact beyond the state
ment of Moses that The Blood is The
Life" But every generation of investiga-
ton shows the statement to be true in a
wider, deeper. and broader sense than
was dreamed of in the past. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery begins at the
beginning with the blood. 1t cures prac-
tically a wide range of diseases because
many forms of disease nave their origin in
the blood. 1t is a scientific compound
based, not upon theory but upon the prac-
teal, common sense proof that if you
purify, enrich, and vitalize the blood you
overcome disease in any organ. The
Golden Medical Discovery" heals dis
ease in just this way. 1t begins first of all
and every ounce of new blood and pure
blood counts against disease.
at was near the little town of Leroy, W. Va,
and during the month of March, 1896, that a
young man lay pale and motionless upon lwhat
the ~neighbors ealled) his dying bed. Disease
of the lungs, liver complaint, kidney trouble,
and pleurisy were fast Fastening him to the
grave. The doctors had given him up to die:
The neighbors said, he cannot live oh, I
would not care to die he said. were it not for
leaving my dear wife and little child, but I
know that l must die A brOther mad pre-
sented him with three bottles of medicine, but
he had no faith In patent medicines but,
after the doctors had given him up to die and he
had banished every hope of recovery, he said to
his wife, Dear wife, 1 am going to die, there
can be no harm now in taking that medicine.
I will begin its use at once He did begin to
use 1t and at first he grew worse, but soon there
came a change. Slowly but surely he got better.
To-day that man is strong and healthy and he
medicinee 1t was DR., Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and I, Luther Martin, am the cured
man. DR.. Pierce. I thank you from the very
depth of my heart, for rescuing me from the
grave" The foregoing is from Luther Martin,
Esq. a prominent citizen of Lubec, Wood Co.,
W. Va.
M. L. Messer. Esq, of Garfield, Lamoille Co.,
Vt, writes ~ had been out of health for about
two years. Suffered with pain in head, nervous
ness, could not sleep, poor appetite, loss of
flesh caused by overwork. Doctors did not
help me so I applied to you for advice. and de-
scribed my case. You replied advising me to
use DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pellets l did so and after using one bottle ]
could sleep better and felt better. After using
six bottles Of the Golden Medical Discovery
and two vials of Pellets / find myself gaining
In aesh and 1 am almost entirely cured"
