wife has thorough house cleaning. The
house has been swept and busted every
day i'll the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accurnu-
lates i'll cracks and corners, and is only
to be removed by special effort.
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions of cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to rid it of the accuinu-
lations of waste and poisonous matter
which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, taken regu-
larly once or twice a year, would save
many sickness. 1t purifies the blood,
strengthens the stomach, and cleanses
the body of poisonous accumulations.
