 the account. IL sums up health and strength. On the other side, are bad air. poor food overwork and worry. That foots up weakness and disease.
 When your appetite or sleep is disturbed when the stomach and liver are not work ing properly, or the bowels arc not in rcgu- lar condition; you are losing vitality and strength figures are going down on the wrong side of the ledger. Unless this Is stopped and the other side of the account is built up, you'll soon be 6 physical bankrupt.
 The most profitable account a sick man can open in his Ledger of Life is with Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. a wonderful and scientific tonic which im- parts direct and healthy stimulus to the entire nutritive organism. It strengthens the digestive fluids and the liver, and en- ables the blood making organs to produce pure, red, highly -vitalizcd blood.
 It is not a mere temporary exhilarator It feeds the constitution with genuine, per manent power. It writes big, round sums on the health side of the account and wipes out the figures of weakness and dis ease. It animates the vital forces and builds up healthy flesh, muscular energy and nerve force.
 For nearly 30 years Dr. Pierce has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. His formulas are everywhere recog- nized as the most effective remedies in the world. His Pleasant Pellets" are the most perfect and scientific cure for consti- patton ever invented. They are not violent in their action, but perfectly sure, and at the same time comfortable. Their great reputation has called out n score of imi- tations, which druggists sometimes try to substitute, but there is nothing just as good
