4 SHORT LONG STORY,

the stomach is weak, and there is appetite, and
friends begin to whisper "eonsumbfion," a great
many people are induced to use foul fish oils or the
modified nastiness of their emulsons. But these
being foods must be digested and assmated before
they have any value for the body. They do not
deal with the cause of disease but with its effect
For that reason oils and emusions do not bring
permanent results.
The reason why DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery does many forms of disease, is be-
cause many forms of disease begin in oweak
stomach" The stomach is the vital center of the
body 1t isn't what is eaten but what is assmilated
which sustans life. Nervousness is nerve hunger
Golden Medical Discovery" heals the diseased
stomach that it makes nerve food; the nerves are
fed and NERVOUSNESS ceases. When the stomach is
made well and strong the appetite conea back nat
urally. When food is eaten and digested and assni
lated the whole body is built up into sound health
Consumption is wasting disease. There can be
no consumption to properly nourished body
Golden Medical Discovery" cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition
and so the obstruction to the proper nour
ishinent of the body in all its parts.

POOR BOARD TONIGHT.
Doctor Question May or May Not Be
Taken Up.

There is one matter of importance
that is likely to come up. This is the
election of "A doctor for the poor farm,

The story of disease as Mr.. Long tells it is very
short. 1t can be summed up in the three phrases
which are chosen for illustration. "a terrible
cough" "Coud not sleep" "No appetite"
When man can't eat and can't sleep he can't
live If he can eat but can't sleep there's madness
doggng his steps. But if both sleep and appetite
fail him, he is a doomed man unless help comes to
him. When these symptoms are associated with "a
terrible cough" friends begin to whisper to each
other that omnous word consumption.
