undermine the strength. and affect The
balance of the mind. 1t is one of the
sad experiences of the grip. that the
conValescent supposed to be rallying
well. has been found in a condition of
complete collapse.
AS result of the grip the lungs. and
other organs of respiration seem pecu-
liarly liable to be affected and con-
sumption may easily be the after con
sequence of the malady. 1t needs no
argument therefore to urge the build
ing up of the system weakened by the
grip to enable it to resist and throw
off these sequent diseases which so
frequently prove fatal.
In actual test DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical. Discovery has proved itself
peculiarly 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 en-
feebled system. 1t strengthens the
stomach. heals the lungs, and purifies
the blood. 1t puts the whole body on
plane of sound and vigorous health.
A VICTIM OF GRIP.
Two years ago this month I had
an attack of grip which left my throat
and lungs in bad condition" writes

HOW STRENGTH Is RESTORED.
What makes me strong? Ask your
self that question and you will find
that the answer will be. | am made
strong by food.
How does food make us strong? BY
passing through the processes Of diges-
ton and being converted into nutri-
ton. which. in the form of blood.
nourishes the body. So that while the
blood is the life of the body. food is the
life of the blood. Every red vein and
artery of the body leads like a scarlet
clue back to the stomach. If the body
is weak, therefore, we must look to
the stomach first for the cause of
weakness. and then to the blood. The
sa me result of physical weakness Will
follow the opening of an artery. or
starvation. You may bleed to death
or starve to death. This is so well un-
derstood in medical practice that the
first consideration of the physician in
investigating disease is the condition
of cfn stomach <
weak the body can't be strong. If the
stomach is weak. that weakness will
surely find an echo in some other or
gan dependent on the stomach for its
as heart. liver, lungs.
kidneys, etc. If you starve mother
YOU starve the child at her breast. If
you starve the stomach, you starve the
organs it feeds. But starvation of the
body can be accomplished even where
food is plentifully supplied, because if
the stomach and other organs of d-
gestion and nutrition are diseased
then the food will not be converted
into nutrition or only partly so. and
the body inadequately nourished will
begin to grow weak. The first at
tempt. then. in dealing with Il weak
body is to nourish it into strength
The general method of this attempt is
to trv 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 it's emulsions. But this
doesn't cure the disease of the stomach
or put the organs Of nutrition into a
condition to build up the body.
