He Knew His Friend.

An old German was on his ,deathbed.
In his earlier years he had led wild
life, but since the death of Schneider.
one Of his boon companions. he had re-
formed and given up his bad habits.
This Schneider in his day had been
mighty drinker, famous for his capaci-
lily and carouses.
The priest was ministering to the dy-
ing man, consolins him with visions
Of the paradise he would soon enter.
telling him that he would meet there
his old friends and what joy 1t would
be to see them all again.
The dying man asked feebly. "Will
Schneider be there, your reverenceT
Thinking to give him pleasure, the
priest replied, Yes; Schneider will be
there"
"Ach. said the other. DOT is very
bad. All dose dringings und eadings
und fighdings all over again. all dot

"But there will be no drinking In

GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY
The Great Blood Pniridf

Letus start with that lionatic'
truisnr the blood is the lifS an4ask:
how is it the life? We Mg teat..
blood is life, because we snvy that p !.
loss Of blood means physicdfdepletion.
..Weak from loss Of blood is tne'com-,
mon phrase usea 20 describe the, con-
dition of one who has bled as result
of wounds. We know too tfat any
large loss of blood means death.
People bleed to death of wounds II the
injuries do not receive timely atten-
tion. 1t seems to follow as natural
conclusion that If Joss of blood means
weakness gain of blood means strength.
And this is indeed the case assuming
the blood gained to be pure aad rich.
If then blood can be made, the blood
supply may be increased in Quantity
and quality which would mean an in.
crease of physical vitality and
strength.
Then comes the question. How is
blood made? And the answer to that
question is that it is made from the
food we eat. 1t is the functionof the
stomach and the organs OF digestion
and nutrition to extract from the food,
the pabulum, the nutritive elements
OF food which sustain the physical
strength. Now when there is disease
of the stomach and digestive and nu.
tritiye tracts, the nutrition contained
in food is imperfectly extracted.
There is an increase in residpum or
waste and decrease of aianlent or
nutritiye substance the loss Sf which
goes to swell the bulk Of the residuum
or waste. There is 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, making it a
prepared breeding ground for: disease
i. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery cures the diseases of the stom-
ach 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 aSsimila-
tion are made perfect, there isno more
corrupting waste matter carried into
the blood to poison it and breed dis
ease, SO that the use of Golden Med
ical Discovery" increases the blood
supply and enriches it, keeping it
pure from poisonous substances. But
more than this the Discovery" acts
directly on the blood, purifyingit of
its polsons, as is proven by $ures of
scrofulous diseases, eczema, letter,
boils, pimples, rheumatism and other
diseases which are caused by impure
blood.
Letit be remembered that there is
no such thing as "blood making"
medicine. Blood is not maize from
medicine but from food properly d.
gested and assimilated. And'the rea-
son why DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery increases the blood supply
and eliminates its impurities is be-
cause it epab the perfect digestion
and assimilation of food thus increas-
ing the blood making material and
cutting off the entrance of waste sub
stance into the blood: and going far
Their yet it carries off the waste accu-
mutations which are already 10 the
blood and are a common source 1t dis
