itself against the might and majesty OF
universal freedom.
The spirit of liberty and right how
ever shackled and handicapped in the
beginning is bound in the final struggle
to be the conQuering power. The Amer
leans are winning because they ought to
win. First of all our cause is just. The ir-
rcsstable gallantry and skill of our officers
and men on land and sea are reinforced
by the thrice powerful armament OF cons
cious rectitude.
Whatever is wrong. irrational and I'M
natural cannot stand long before the over
whelming force of what is right and
reasonable. We see the manifest power of
natural and invulnerable law in every
domain of action and of life.
When Columbus, the learned and almost
inspired navigator. called upon uncxp.ored
oceans to surrender their hidden con-
tinents, he had behind him tho great
cosmic principles that he knew could
never be gainsaid
When Newton formulated the universal
law that holds all suns and stars together
! in their places. he knew that every ply
steal object, Rig or little, In the whole
round world must inevitably, and for all
time, obey the principle that he 81 con
iidently enunciated.
When Watts discovered the powers of
steam. and Stephenson harnessed them in
locomotive shape; when Franklin chal-
ienged the clouds. and Edison carried his
battle into the ETHEREAL currents and vib-
rations-each one of these aggressive
geniuses was upheld and domino ted by the
consciousness OF deep, enduring principles
which reached down into the very ulti-
mate Nature of things and there found
unfailng sustenance and support.
In the great feld of medical research
and therapeutic physiology DR.. r. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, y. Y, has, for thirty
years been prosecuting continuous UNI
intermittent campaign against disease.
From the very earliest days of his entry
upon the field of medical practice he has
been sustained and reinforced by the in
vincbIe principles of nutrtive and meta
bolic physiology.
He has known that he was right and
the result of his endeavors has been
continuous, unfailing demonstration and
justification of his principles. In originat-
ing his own famous Golden Medical Dis
covery," he founded his faith upon the
great basic principle of digestive nutri-
ton. He recognized that Nature carries
on and sustans all physical life through
the digestive and nutrltve organism, and
that through this system alone 1t Is pos
sible to radically conquer disease.
He appreciated the great physiological
truth that nature, working according to
her own chosen methods. will accomplish
what 1t is impossible to accomplish by ar
ttcial interference; and that any medi-
cine which is to assist in carrying out the
purposes of Nature must work in strict
subservience to her own laws and prln-
oipes must give her the assistance she
calls for at precisely the point where 1t is
needed. and rely upon her to use II to the
best advantage.
Armed and equipped with this invlol-
able principle. DIR. Pierce has confidently
and boldly, during the last thirty years,
called upon all the most stubborn powers
of disease to capitulate; and their uncon-
ditional surrender Is recorded In the over
flowing testimony OF living men and
women.
The Irresistible power OF this matchless
Discovery lies in It's deep and searching
influence upon the digestive and nutritive
organism. 1t gives direct tone TO the
stomach glands. endowing them with
capacity to secrete digestive fluids Of
necessary quantity and strength. 1t
creates wide-awake normal activity of the
liver, and enables 1t to filter the vile,
poisonous dregs OF bilious impurity out of
the circulation. 1t gives the bloodmaking
glands keen, assimilative power to trans
form the NITROUS elements of food
into healthy, red blood, rich with vital
oxygen and life-building power.
What /. does for the nutritve organism
1t does for the whole body. 1t clears the
circulation. the skin. the excretory duets,
the bronchial tubes and lungs OF all
bilious products aud other elements of
disease. 1t furnishes Nature with the
elementary constituents and power with
which to fght and overcome every abnor-
NAL, impure. debilitated and impoverished
condition. 1t regenerates and transforms
the entire physical being into new SEM
blance and substance Of perfect manhood
and womanhood
