Take care of the stomach and the
health will take care of itself. II PEG
ple ONLY realized the sOundness of that
statement the majority might live to a
good old age like Moses, 1.-THE eye I'M
dimmed, the natural force unabated y
1t is in the stomach that the blood i
made. 1t is from the stomach that
nourishment is dispensed to nerve aud
muscle. If the stomach Is "weak" IT
can't do its whole work for each part OF
the body. If it is diseased the disease
will faint the nourishment which Is
distributed, and so spread the disease
throughout the body. 1t was the reali
cation of the importance of the stom-
ach as the very center of health and the
common source of disease, which led
DIR. Pierce to prepare his Golden Medl-
cal Discovery. Diseases which orlgl.
nate in the stomach must be cured
through the stomach" The soundness
of this theory is proved every day by
cures of diseased organs, heart, liver,
lungs, blood-by the use of the Dis
covery" which is solely and singly a
medicine for the blood and organs OF
digestion and nutrition. Ii is temper
ance medicine containing no alconol,
whisky or other intoxicant.
