Here is the picture as Dickens painted
it: Martin Chuzziewit has just landed
He has presented his credentials and met
several prominent citizens In com
pany with two of these he is letsurely
walking down the street. engaged in con-
Versation. Suddenly the changing of bell
is heard and the estimable citizens start
off at breakneck speed in the direction OF
the sound. Other people are seen running
in the same direction. Martin con1ec-
lures that it is a fire, and qutckenS MS
steps. Around the corner he comes on
brawny negro, ringing bell with great
| industry and sees struggling crowd
fighting 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 amazement. everybody
Scrambling, boiling and gulplng as II NE
depended on swallowing all the food pos
sible in the most indigestible condition
THE poultry flew as rapidly as 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 sharpest
pickles vanished like sugarplums. Great
heaps of indigeStible matter melted away
as ice before the sun. 1t was solemn
and awful thing to see dyspeptic indtVid-
uals boiling food in wedges; feeding not
themselves but a brood of nightmares.
Spare men with lank and rigid cheeks
came out unsaustied from the deStruc-
ton of heavy dishes and glared with
watchful eyes upon the pastry.
Of course this is caricature. But it is
caricature which impresses on us that
we eat too much and too rapidly. That
we eat without any regard to the fitness
of our food for the nOuriShment 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

stomach trouble" The sanitariums are
full of such people. The springs and
baths in this country and Europe are
largely supported by them. Ihey are
tormented day and night and are con-
slant victims of quackery in their struS-

to say, that the first place to look for thel
cause of disease uder ORDINARY condl-

true must that statement be under lhel
extraordinary conditions wher man
abuses his stomach as he would not ABUSE
a beast of burden, when he scalds 1t at
one moment and freezes it the next, stuILs
it and starves it at the same time, irri-
tates it with condiments, sluices 1t with
all kinds of fluids and loads it with sub
stances of as little food value as WOOD
That is the actual condition of things
which DR.. Pierce undertook to cope with

theory that diseases which originate IN
the stomach must be cured through the

on which DR.. Pierce worked, and IN d
practice of more than thirty years, cures
of disease in heart, head, lungs, hVers
nerves and other organs, by the cure OF
the diseased condition of the digestive anu

monstrated the soundness of the DOCTOR

hundreds of thousands and the benenclar-

and claims, take the case of Mr.. John l.:
Coughenour, of Glensavage, Somerset
county, Pa He writes:
II had been doctoring and using patent
medicines for about a year and half
being unable to work most of the time
The doctor said had heart disease ana
indigestion: 1t began with a choklng anu
oppressed feeling in the chest; later on

I seemed to be raw from the throat clear
down into my stomach. My appetite was
unusually poor. and l was weak and ner-

for months. My heart kept throbbing
continually and l was short of breath
Finally | wrote to you for advice and you
informed me that l had indigestion and
a torpid liver l did not think your dog

of Golden Medical Discovery from you

went to work, and 1 have been working
ever since"
