Why is it that one man is old and de-
crepid at As, and another hale and hearty
at So1 1t depends on the care he takes
of himself. Often mans BODY gets out
of repair-the trouble grows until it laws
him out in bed. Whenever a man feels
that he is not as we'll as he ought to de,
whenever he is listless without energy
and without vitality, whenever he finds
that he is losing weight and that his
ordinary work gives him undue fatigue,
he needs DR.. Pierce's Golden Medica,
Discovery. If he keeps on working
with his liver inactive and his blood i'm
pure-he keeps his nerves and his body
under constant nervous strain. He
will not be hearty when he is old. The
Golden Medical Discovery" cures many
so-called diseases because nearly all i'll
ness springs from the same thing-bad
digestion and consequent impure blood,
The Discovery" makes the appetite
good, the digestion strong, assimilation
easy, and the blood rich and pure.
