DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical Discovery.
The Great Blood Purifier.

Let US start with that automatic truism
1.-The blood Is the life" and ask how is 1t the
lifep We know that blood Is life, because We
know that loss of blood means ply steal deplt.
ton. "Weak from loss of blood" Is the CON-
mon phrase used to describe the condition OF
one who has bled as result Of wounds. We
know too that any larG loss Of blood means
death. People bleed TO death OF wounds II
the injuries do not receive timely attention
1t seems to follow as natural conclusion
that if loss of blood means weakness, gain OF
blood means strength. And this is indeed
the case assuming the blood gained to be
pure and rich. If then blood can be made
the blood supply may be increased in guam
tity and quality which would mean an in
crease of ply sical vitality aud strength.
Then comes the question, how is blood
mad.s And the answer to that question is
that It Is made from the food we eat. 1t is
the function of the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition to extract from the
food, the pabulum, the nutrtive elements OF
food which sustain the physical strength
Now when there is disease OF the stomach
and digestive and nutritive tracts, the nutri-
ton contained In food is impeIftctly extract
ed. There is an increase in residuum or
waste and decrease of alimcnt of nutritive
substance, the loss OF which goes to swell the
bulk of the rcsiduum or waste. There Ia
then steady loss of nutrition by the body
which means weakness But this is not all {.
Some of this waste is carried into the blood
and clogs and corrupts it, maki.g it pre-,
pared breeding ground for disease.
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
cures the diseases of the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition and thus
enriches the blood with the nutrition which
had before been lost through disease. Beyond
this when the digestion and assimilation are
made perfect, there is no more corrupting
waste matter carried into the blood to poison
it and breed disease, so that the use of Gold
en- Medical Discovery" increases the blood
supply and enriches 1t, keeping IL pure from
poisonous substances. But more than this
the Discovery" acts directly on the blood,
purifying 1t OF its poisons, as Is proven by
cures of scrotulous diseases, eczema, letter,
boils, pimples, rheumatism and other dis
eases which are caused by impure blood
Let it be remembered that there is no such
thing as a "blood making medicine. Blood
il not made from medicine but froom food
properly digesled aud assimiIated. And the
reason why DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covcry increases the blood supply and elimi'
mates its impurities is because It enables the
perfect digestion and assimilation of food
thus increasing the blood making material
and cutting of the entrance of waste sub
stance into the blood; and going farther yet
il carries of the waste accumulatlons which
are already in the blood and are common
source of disease.
