miserable for the sufferer, miserable
for his friends and for his family. Does
that condition of depression ever come
to u man or woman without causing
the cry in the secret heart,
Il WOULD THAT ! WERE DEAD?"
And if the condition becomes more
frequent, the riffs in the fog more rare,
does not the thought Of lf-destruction
haunt the depressed mind? Like some
evil peeping face which fiattens itself
against the window and watches us as
we eat, like evil eyes that burn through
the darkness of the sleepless hours and
hold the gaze in terrified fascination,
so tldE thought of self-destructiOn
haunts the Respondent mind and. like
the ghost of Banquo, will not down"
These are facts. They are common
facts. Is 1t any wonder that some day
in such a fog of mind, haunted and
bounded by this one thought of escape
from life of misery, the man sends
a bullet into the aching heart and stills
it? He may be rich, his family may
adore him. his friends may be legion.
But through the fog of this depression
he sees poverty stalking him. His
foes are those of his own household" :"
he thinks, and those who call him
friends are plotting his ruin.
SUICIDAL DESPONDENCY
is common result of a diseased con-
dition of the stomach and organs Of
digestion and nutrition from which the
dyspeptic suffers. There is relation
to be traced between suicide from de-
spondency and the despondent condi-
ton of the mind SO common 20 the
victim of stomach trouble in some Of
it's forms. In the large correspond
enCe of DR.. r. V. Pierce chief con .
sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
| and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, y. Y,
the feature of mental suffering is al
ways prominent in the letters Of those
| who are seeking a cure from diseases
which affect the digestive and nutri-
tive system. This will be noted in the
letter which follows:
"'I was afflicted with what the doc
tors called nervous indigestion. Took
medicine from my family physician to
no avail In looking over one of DR.
Pierce's Memorandum Books" writes

IT DOES NOT SURPRISE, Us
TO see some implement made by MAJ
do the work 1t was made 10 do Wee
be surprised If ii failed. Once in :
while some ambitious Darius Green in
vents "A dying machine that will no
| fly Once in a while some Keely mo
tor refuses 10 mote" to any praC tlca
purpose. But for the most part tn
| things contriYed and invented by MAJ
do Just what they We're made TO do
the saw eats into the resinous log, tn
rudder steers the battleship, the fus,
eXplodes the charge which toppIe
down tons on tons of ore.
why should it be any wonder then
that Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery cures diseases of the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nu
triton? 1t was made to cure jus
these diseases and the wonder woult
be II it failed to cure 1t is not a cure
all 1t often cures "liver trouble,
heart trouble" head trouble" AM
many another i'll that troubles the hu
man body. But II cures these form
Of disease remote from the stomach
