insufhciently nourished Improper, insult
fcient nourishment is starvation.
When mans head aches it is because
the tissues of the brain do not receive
sufficient nourishment from the blood, or re-
ceive impure and unhealthy nourishment.
When man gets nervous and sleepless, it
means that the blood is not properly nour-
ishing the nerves. When his skin breaks
out with blotches and pimples and erup
tions, it means that the skin is being fed
upon the impurities of the blood. Almost
every known disease is primarily due to
improper nourishment through the blood,
which is the life stream. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest
of all blood makers and purifiers. 1t gives
edge to the appetite, corrects all disorders
of the digestion, makes the assimilation of
the life giving elements of the food per-
feet, invigorates the liver, promotes secre-
ton and excretion, and vitalizes the whole
body. 1t makes firm, muscular flesh, but
does not make corpulent people more cor
pulent. 1t cures % per cent. of all cases
of lingering coughs, bronchial. throat and
kindred affections, which, if neglected,
lead up to consumption. 1t is the best of
all nerve tonics and Testoratives. Kept by
all medicine dealers.
