has presented his credentials and met sew
eral prominent citizens" In company
with two of these he is leisurely walking
down the street, engaged in conversation.
Suddenly the changing of a bell is heard
and the estimable citizens start off at
break-neck speed in the direction of the
sound. Other people are seen running in
the same direction. Martin Conjectures
that 1t is a fire, and quickens his steps.
Around the corner no comes on a brawny
negro, ringing a bell with great industry
and sees a struggling crowd lighting their
way through a narrow door eager to reach
the dinner-table. Martin finds, by the
courtesy of the colonel, a seat turned
down for him and he watches the scene
in Amusement. Everybody scrambing,
boiling and gulping as If life depended
on swallowing all the food possible in the
most indgestibe condition.
The poultry flew rapidly is if every
bird had the use of its wings and had
flown in desperation down human
throat. The oysters slid by scores into
the mouths of the assembly. The sharp
est pickles vanished like sugarplums.
Great heaps of indgestibe matter melted
away as ice before the sun. 1t was ii
solemn and awful thing to see dyspeptic
individuals boiling food in wedges: feed
ing not themselves but a brood of night
mares. Spare men with lank and rigid
structon of heavy dishes and glared with
watchful eyes upon the pastry"
OF course this is caricature. But 1t is
carcature which impresses on us that we
eat TOO much and too rapidly That We
cat without any regard to the titness OF
our food for the nourlshment of the body.
That we overload the stomach. crush the
digestive and nutritive organs under a
burden they cannot carry, and recruit the
ranks of that great army of men and Wo-
men who are victims of stomach trou-

people. The springs and baths in this
county and Europe are largely supported
by them. They are tormented day and
night and are constant victims Of Quack-

ment. America is known to-day as a dys-
peptic nation. If it be true, as cruSty old
Or. Abernethy used to say, that the first
place to look for the cause of disease un-
der ordinary conditions is in the stomach,
how much more true must that statement
be under the extraordinary conditions
when a man abuses his stomach as he
would not abuse beast of burden, when
he scalds it at one moment and freezes il
the next, stuffs it and starves 1t at the
same time irritateS 1t with condiments

it with substances of as little food value
as wood pulp?
which DR. Pierce undertook to cope with
when he prepared his Golden Medca
Discovery" for diseases of the stomach
and organs OF digestion and nutrition
The theory that diseases which originate
in the stomach must be cured through the
stomach" was the fundamental theory o9
which Ir Pierce worked, and in "A prac
tce of more than thirty years cures Of
disease in heart, head, lungs, liver nerves
ana other organs, by the cure of the dis
eased condition of the digestive and muir!
tive system. have ahundantly demonstrat
ed the soundness of the Doctors theory
and the perfection Of the remedy he pre-
pared to meet the required conditions
These cures can be numbered by hundreds
of thousands and the beneicarios of DR.
Picrces skill are found in every walk u
life.
As an Illustration of these statements
and claims, take the case of Mr. John Il
Coughenour, of Glensavage, Somerset Co.
Pa. He writes:
