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 same result of phys
zeal weakness will follow
the opening of an artery,
or starvation. You may
bleed to death or starve to
death. This is 80 well un-
dcrstood in medical prac-
tice that the first consid-
Grafton of the physician
in investigating disease is
the condition of the stom-
ach. If the stomach Is
weak the body can't be
strong. If the stomach is
weak, that weakness will
surely find an echo in

Ghosts would brighten many people who
are not afraid of germs Yet the germ is
a real danger. If this microscopic MIN
alism could be magnifed to size in pro-
portion to its deadliness it would show
like giant python, or fire breathing
dragon. The one fact to remember is that
the germ is powerless to harm the body
when the blood is pure. 1t is far easier to
keep the germ out than to drive it out af-
ter it obtains hold in the system. DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
most powerful and perfect of blood pur-
flying medicines 1t increases the quanti-
ty as well as the quality of the blood, and
enables the body to resist disease, or to
throw 1t off if disease has obtained a foot
ing in some weak organ. Wherever the
digestion is impaired, the nutrition of tn !.
body is diminished, for the blood is made
from the food which is eaten, and half
digested food cannot supply the body with
blood in quantity and quality adequate to
its needs. For this condition there is no
remedy equal to Golden Medical Dis
covery." 1t cures ninety eight out of
every hundred persons who give it a fair
trial. When there is constipation DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will promptly
relieve and permanently cure.

Cut Flowers.

Many people who profess themselves
very fond of flowers seem not to love
them well enough to take proper care
of them. Especially is this true of cut
flowers, which unless properly cared
for last such a short time. During the
day give them the coolest place in the
room, the icebox If you have one.
Choose for all long stemmed flowers a
deep vase, change the water every day;
at night take them from the vase and
plunge them In cool fresh water to the
very bloom. You will find them much
refreshed in the morning, whereas if
they stand all night in the same water
or in an insufficient quantity they will
be limp and discouraged by morning.
Those who complain they cant keep
flowers" are usually those who neglect
these simple precautions.

A public demonstration of the earth's
rotary motion is given every Sunday in
the building that was formerly the
church of the Conservatory in Paris
A large pendulum hung as high as pos
sible swings with a sweep of about
sixty feet. The plane of oscillation re-
mains absolutely invariable in space,
and the displacement produced by the
rotation of the earth is so regular that
a watch can be set in this way.

A vanishing Tip.

When vanishing wood, the work
must be done in a warm room at tenn
perature of at least rs degrees F. At a
lower temperature the moisture in the
air will give milky and cloudy ap-
pearance to the varnish. On the other
hand, at the higher temperature the
moisture is not precipitated until the
alcohol Of the varnish has sufficiently
evaporated to leave thin smooth film
of shellac. The durability and gloss are
dependent on this.

AFTER GRIP WHAT ?.
The Perilous Period Which
Follows an Attack of this
Mysterious Malady.

Grip Is bad enough with its aching
bones, infamed eyes, painful back, and
fever. But its after effects are perhaps
even more to be dreaded than the misery
attendent on an attack of the disease
itself. The person who comes safely
through an attack of grip, man, woman,
or child, is left in condition of peculiar
debility and prostration from which it is
difficult to rally. A slight cold or cough
may find speedy termination In lung

you et2rve the cn1ld at her
breast. II you starve the stomach, you
starve the organs 1t feeds. But starva-
ton of the body can be accomplished
even where food is plentifully supplied,
because if the stomach and other organs
of digestion 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 attempt, then, in
dealing with weak body is to nourish
it into strength. The general method of
this attempt is to try 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 its efnulsions.
But this doesn't cure the disease of the
stomach or put the organs of nutrition
into a condition to build up the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
deals directly with the stomach and
blood. 1t seeks to bring the stomach up
to the level of strong, healthful food.
when this Is done the body gains in
strength, puts on flesh, throws off dis
ease, and enters on a new life. That
these results follow the use of Golden
Medical Discovery is proved by the tes-
timony of thousands Of weak, rundown,
men and women and by their cure, by
the use of Discovery of diseases of
lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, etc, which
originated in the disease of the stomach
and its allied organs of digestion and
nutrition.

disease. Ordinary exposure results in
pneumonia. The disease seems to
deplete the vitality, undermine the
strength, and affect the balance Of the
mind. 1t is one of the sad experiences
of the grip, that the conva1escent sup
posed to be rallying well, has been found
In condition of complete collapse.
As a result of the grip the lungs, and
other organs of respiration seem pecu-
Early liable to be affected and consump-
ton may easily be the after consequence
of the malady. It needs no argument
therefore to urge the building up of the
system weakened by grip to enable it to
resist and throw off these sequent dis
eases which 50 frequently prove fatal.
In actual test DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has proved itself pecu-
liarly 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 enfeebled system. It strengthens
the stomach. heals the lungs, and puri-
fes the blood. 1t puts the whole body
