The last case of spontaneous combustion
reported in the newspapers was that Of
woman She was found dead, and her condi-
ton showed the cause There is something
horrible in the thought of the vapor of the
breath catching fire and burning out the life
IL Is no wonder that in olden times such
catastrophe always suggested the smell OF
brmstone to those who heard of it. In modern
Times the immediate cause of the combustion
Is generally lighted match applied to pipe.
But the contributary cause is chronic alcohol
ISM Inc combustion is spontaneous, but the
train which is fred has been laid slowly for
many years
1t is Characteristic of human nature that it
generaiiy sans up its catastrophies by effects,
ignoring causes. That is the case with "spon-
taneous combustion" The term deals only
with ths catastrophe not with the cause. Many
physician fills out certificate of death as
from heart failure, or disease of liver, kidneys or
some other organ Heis dealing only with results.
he should write disease of heart, liver lungs,
kidneys, or whatever the disease may be, as re-
sulting from disease of the stomach, neglected
for many years, or improperly and unsxilfully
treated. For it is in the stomach and digestive
and nutritive system that large part of the
diseases which prey on the vital organs have
vital center of the body. 1t must supply heart,
liver lungs, kidneys and every organ with its
vital huid-blood, which is but digested food.
When the stomach is diseased and the digestive
processes are partial and imperfect, the blood
supply is reduced in quantity and quality. The
weakest organ of the body will first feel this
loss of nutrition It may be heart, liver, lungs,
Kidneys or any other organ. The chances are
that the person who has neglected the dis
eased stomach will seek treatment for the other
organs when they become diseased. He doc
tors for heart disease, or for liver, kidneys, or
lungs. He gets no better. He is doctoring"
for effects and not causes. The stomach gets
worse, the other organs get worse, and then
comes that certiicate-itself a confession of
improper treatment-which attributes the final
collapse to disease of any organ but the right
one-the stomach.
Stomach " trouble is the beginning of many
serious diseases, and should never be neglected.
The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will effectually cure diseases Of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition. 1t cures when all other means and
medicines utterly fail of giving more than
temporary relief
