in spite of good living, finds himself los
ing flesh, falling off in weight. lie won-
ders why it can be- He has plenty to cat
and he eats plenty, yet he grows thin and
weak. But his condition is easily ex-
planned. As the fence is to the field so
is the stomach to the body. A weak
fence leaves the crop at the mercy of the
hungry invader. A weak stomach leaves
the body at the mercy of disease, and
disease is always hungry. The farmer
knows that planting does not make pros
perity. After the planting the seed must
be protected and cultivated until the
single grain becomes the full ear. 1t is
so with the harvest of health. Eating
alone, the putting of food into the stom-
ach, does not make strength. The food
eaten must be digested and assimiatod
before the body can be benefited by it.
When the stomach is weak digestion is
imperfect, and the nutritive value of the
food eaten is largely lost. Hence the
farmer who plants food in the weak
stomach and expects crop Of strength in
the body is disappointed. It's the story
over again of the hole in the fence.
Loss of flesh, decrease in weight, arc
among the surest signs of disease. When
the body is starved it dies When suf-
ficient food is eaten to sustain the body
and the body loses instead of gains, it is
being starved, and there is only one end
to starvation. The very fact that flesh is
being lost locates the disease in the
stomach Heart, lungs, liver, Kidneys
any and all other organs may be involved,
but the loss of flesh points to loss of
nutrition, and that surely means "weak "
or diseased stomach. In such cases the
rule is, "Curc the stomach and you cure
the body" 1t is because Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and other organs Of diges-
ton and nutrition that it cures diseases
of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc, which
have their origin i'll diseases of the
stomach, and the consequent loss Of nutri-
tion which weakens the whole body and
every organ of the body
"I used tell bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and several vias of his
Pleasant Pellets year ago this spring, and
have had no trouble with indigestion since"
writes Mr. W. T. Thompson, OF Townsend,
Broadwater Co., Montana. "Words fail to tell
how thankful am for the relief, as I had suf-
fered so much and 1t seemed that the doctors
could do ME good. l got down in weight
to I25 pounds, and was not able to work at all.
Now weigh nearly 100 and can do days
work the farm"
If lost flesh indicates disease, SO the reg
the curing of disease. When the body is

on the scales.
"I wish to say to the world that Dir. Pierce's {
great blessing to me-" writes Mrs. Ellen +. Ba
