disease. Ordinary exposure results in
pneumonia. The disease seems to
deplete the vitality, undermine the
strength, and affect the balance of the
mind. 1t is one of the sad experiences
of the grip, that the convalescent sup
posed to be rallyiDg we'll, has been found
in condition OF complete collapse.
As result OF the grip the lungs, and
other organs of respiration seem pecu-
liarly liable to be affected and consump-
ton may easily be the after consequence
Of the malay. It needs no argument
therefore to urge the building up Of the
system weakened BY grip to enable it to
resist and throw of these sequent dis
eases which so frequently prove fatal.
In actual test DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has proved itself pecu-
liarly valuable not only in the quick cure
OF the disease but also in rebuilding the
body which grip has undermined and in
curing diseases which are prone to fasten
on the enfeebled system. 1t strengthens
the stomach, heals the lungs, and puri-
fies the blood. 1t puts the whole body
on plane of sound and vigorous health.

Bad Luck Signs Are of Ancient

Crossed Knives We're Signal For Fisht---SpII
ing Salt Sign of Betrayal --Hodoo Started

tunate Thirteen.

Why Is it bad luck to cross knives
at table? Well the original knife used
at the table was nothing less than the
dagger which the men wore IN their
belts, ready either for carveng nut
ton or for cutting throats. In the days
when private quarrcls were always
fought out with dagger or sword and
that is not so very long ago-the very
beginning of a dispute made the wo.
men folk nervous for their husbands,
brothers or sons concerned in the argu-
ment. That crossing of blades was
the sure sign of fight, and it's no
wonder the women found crossed
knives suggesting misfortune.
Spilling the salt once meant the
worst of bad luck. Salt was until
quite recently very expensive, dear

breast If you starve the stomach, you
starve the organs 1t feeds. But starvs-
ton Of the body can be accomplished
even where food is plentifully supplied,
because If the stomach aud other organs
of digestion and nutrition are diseased,
then the food will not be converted into
nutrition or only pastly so, and the body
inadequately nourished will begin to
grow weak. The first attempt, then, In
dealing with weak body Is to nourish
it into strength. The general method Of
this attempt is to try and bring the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
This is done by the use of prepared
foods, cod liver oil, and its ernulsions.
But this doesn't cure the disease of the
stomach or put the organs Of nutrition
into condition to build up the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
deals directly with the stomach and
blood. 1t seeks to bring the stomach up
to the level Of strong, healthful food.
when this is done the body gains in
strength, puts on flesh, throws off dis
ease, and enters on new life. That
these results follow the use Of Golden
