A wreck at sea is not the only place
where a life line is of importance.
There is a life line for the sick, as well as
for the drowning man. 1t is DIR. pierce,s
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is not a
c%ure-all, but it is a scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by h right course of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of q
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as.
similation of the live-giving elements of
the food. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry" accomplishes all these things.
"a young man lay pale and motionless upon
(what neighbors called his dying bed. Disease
ofthe lungs, liver complaint, Kidney trouble, and
pleurisy were fast fastening him to the grave.

my dear wife and little child, but l know that I
must die A brother had presented him with
three bottles of medicine, but he had no faith in
patent medicines but, after the doctors had
gwen him up to die and he had banished every
hope of recovery, he said to his wife, dear wife,
am going to die, there can be no harm now in
taking that medicine. l will begin its use at
once He did begin to use it 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 owes his life
to that medicine. What was the medicine? 1t
was Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
Pierce, | thank you from the very depth of my
heart, for rescuing me from the grave" The
foregoing is from Luther Martin, Esq, a promi-

Mind Reading.

The really extraordinary performances
of mind readers of celebrity astound all
who witness them, Scientists cannot
explain them. Hamlet eXclaims, "There
are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamt of in thy
philosophy" The wonderful feats of
the mind reader are strongly %corrobora-
tive of this. But the reason of the
beneficent effects of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in cases of dyspepsia, malaria,
rheumatism, biliousness, nervousness
and kidney and bladder complaint, does
not require and will not provoke in
vestigation. We know that the medicine
does effect thorough cures in obstinate
cases, that it does prevent the diseases
to which it is adapted. Used with
persistencY it will re-establish health.
