deadliness we should see monster
which would dwarf into insigniticance
all the monsters ever begotten by hu-
man imagination. The microbe has this
in common with the tabled monster, its
food is human flesh and its drink human
blood. 1t battens OIL slaughter. For
centuries medical science fought this
microbic foe III darkness. The presence
of the foe was recognized, its deadliness
conceded. But it was ever an invisible
foe, unknown and unnamed. To-day
science with eye-power increased mil
lion fold finds this lurking foe, knows it
and names it.
FINDING THE FOE
is the first step, fighting it intelligently
is the next We know this minute or
eanisln turks in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, the water we drink. We
know the object of attack is the blood:
We know that as the microbe is bred
from foulness it must be fed on foulness.
Hence, we know that the ncrobe finds
no lodg,nent in the body when the blood
is pure. Keep the blood pure and you
shut out the microbe.
When the blood, is impure nature at
once begins to show the red danger sig
nails. Boils, blotches, pimples, erup-
tions begin to work upon the skin sur
face, as signs and symptoms of the cor
ruption of the blood. When these or
any signs of blood inpurity appear, the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coverv is confidently recommended as a
most powerful and perfect blood purify
ing medicine.

Discovery one Of the best medicines on

The medicines are not equal in merit,
