NO MAN IS STRONGER
Than HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was
strong man with weak stomach. What
is called "weak stomach" is in general
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the Stom-
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten IS
only digested and assimilated in part it
only nourishes the body in part, and so
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ of the
body dependent OH the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per-
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
vWeak" heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs IS cured with the
cure of the weak stomach. p.

There is a saying that "Flowers are

At the exposition in Omaha some

the flowers and plants take upon them

more beautiful than the color displayed

mystery of where the illumination
comes from is delightful, and. knowing
this. the skilled electrician is most care
full to conceal his lamps where least
likely to attract the eye. Perhaps an
artificial leaf, an artificial flower. is
used to hide the lamp. but its full bril-
liancy is allowed to beam upon the
plant and flowers, making a picture
that is lasting. 1t is when such effects

a number of them on the grade. At
first they were lined up each with q

race, that being the sport dearest to
the Indian heart. But after the
boss got them In line again. and ex-
