There is no greater folly than ignorance
where knowledge is possible and vitality
necessary to safety and happiness, and yet
tens of thousands of people walk this world
linked with folly. They are ignorant Of
the conditions Of life, ignorant Of the con-
btitution of their own bodies. Children
grow to manhood and womanhood ignorant
of the conditions under which nature
governs. They break her laws recklessly.
They exhaust themselves in the mistaken
effort to have good time while they
are young.
Some day comes the shock when nature
presents her overdrah account and de.
mands payment. Sometimes IT'S heart
trouble, sometimes the stomach fails of its
functions, sometime the liver refuses to tug
any longer al its load or the kidneys balk
at their burden. Sometimes, very often in
deed, red spot begins to burn on the
checks, a hacking cough develops, the
breath grows short, the strength oozes out
at night in dripping sweat and every
day the daily walk is shortened by few
steps as the strength fails. That's con
sumption.
The theory is that consumption cannot
be cured, and it's theory SO deeply rooted
that time is wasted in combating 1t. But
what is cure in such casel Suppose a
man Tor woman) with all the symptoms of
consumption takes as thousands and
thousands have taken, Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and lives on to
healthy, happy, hearty old age as these
same thousands and thousands have done,
and dies in the allotted time of ripened
life. Two positions are possible. You can
gay it was not really consumption he
had" Or it can be said he really died of
consumption after ALL" But the unanswer-
able fact is that the man lived out his three
score years and ten. What is a cure any
way? Isn't II life =? You don't care what
disease you may be said to have if you are
