seventy-four years Of age and still in the
hey-day Of his power"
II Chinauian, usually regarded BY us as
a barbarian, CAN live to a healthy, hale old
age, why cannot Americans, with their
more advanced civilization, do the same?
The reporters discovered during Ii Hung
Chang's stay in this country, that he took
every thought for his health. e lived
upon the simplest of diets and never passed
a day without consulting his physician.
He limited his toll to a reasonable number
Of hours, and would not deviate from his
rule in this matter. American men follow
just the opposite practice They work to
the limit Of endurance, will not even take
the proper time for eating, resting and
sleeping, and never think of their health
until it is gone. There is wonderful med
icine for hard working men. 1t is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
takes the place of a physician. 1t keeps
away ill-health and restores health when il
is lost. 1t is the great appetite sharpener,
blood-maker and fesh-builder. II makes
the digestion perfect, the liver active and
the blood pure and rich. Medicine dealers
