Many hard working young woman
spends her noon hour in an endeavor TO
get little rest to carry her through the
remaining hours Of the day. She IS
weak and weary, but she cannot give up
the occupation which supports her. She
must go back to the Office and the type
writer, to the store and its duties, with
tiresome customers to wait on and eS-
acting employers TO please.
For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine so va luable as
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases Of the stomach and
other organs Of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote IRON the
stomach have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is "weak"
there is a failure to properly digest and
assiinilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as consequence of weak" stom-
ach, there may be "weak lungs, "weak'
heart, "weak" or torpid liver, "weak ("
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, uGolden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation Of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of healthy body. 1t increases the ac-
tivity of the blood-making glands, and
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid Of the body.
There is no alcohol in the Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease in its chronic form
are invited to consult DR.. Pierce by letter
free. All correspondence is held as
strictly private and sacredly confidential.
Address DIR. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
There is 10 similar offer of free med
ical advice which has behind it an in
stitute of national note such as the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, ~ Y, presided over by DR..
Pierce, its chief consulting physician,
with the assistance of nearly a score OF
skilled sDccialists.

A Test OF Rcnneme

The trueSt test Of refinement Is

who have and those who lack refine
ment 10y their bearing in a crowd. In
deed this difference is easier perceived
in q street ear or in Il market or In

takes up the less room and claims the
less concession and Is reader to yield
position than an unrclincd person. The
way In which Il man carries Il cane or
