train. It's but preliminary heat of the
great race their parents are engaged in. As
a physician I 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 THEMl
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 straining
point all the time, and the nerves won't

THE GREAT RACE.
But how long can we keep upf 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 on 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 1nvest1ga-

was dreamed of in the past. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery begins at the
beginning with the blood. 1t cures prac-

many forms of disease have their origin in
based, not upon theory but upoa the prac-
teal, common sense proof that if you
purify, enrich, and vita1ize the blood you
overcome disease in any organ. The
"Golden Medical Discovery" heals dis
ease in just this way. 1t begins first of all
to strengthen the body through the blood,
and every ounce of new blood and pure
blood counts against disease.

and during the month of March, 1896, that a
young man lay pale and motionless upon (what

and p1eurisy 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
know that must die A brother had pre-
sented him with three bottles of medicine, but
he had no faith in patent medicines but,

had banished every hope of recovery, he said to

can be no harm now in taking that medicine.

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
owes his life to that medicine. What was the
