which are dangerous 70,
many fatal sickness. begins with cold
If we could tell the common cold from
the uncommon we could feel quite safe
But we can't. The uncommon variety /.
rarely recognized until it has fastened it,
hold on the lungs, and there are sy1np.
toms of consumption.
Commonly the first symptom of a
vcoldDis chilly feeling, accompanied
BY sneezing, or tickling in the throat.
The most frequent Of external causes are
draughts, wet or cold feet, or going from
hot rooms suddenly into cold ones
More frequently there is an inner cause
the stagnation Of blood caused by con-
stipation or biliousness. Almost the first
symptom Is the feeling OF cold in the
feet aud increased discharge from the
nose, followed by bronchitis, grip, Or
even by consumption.
COMMON sRNsE MEDICATION.
No one ever takes cold unless con-
stipated, or exhausted, aud having what
we call mal-nutrition, which is attended
with impoverished blood and exhaustion
of nerve force. However there Is no
great danger In cold unless 1t Is neg
lected. Of course when the blood is in
this stagnant condition the germs of
grip, catarrh, consumption, malaria or
any other disease find fertile field in
which to take root and grow. At the
Z first symptoms the careful person will
heed the warning by taking mild laxa-
tive some vegetable pill that will not
disturb the system or cause gripping.
About the handiest and best thing Is
HDr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets" little
sugar coated grenules, which come in
Walls and are perfectly harmless to the
system. If the cold starts with cough,
and It persists then some local treatment
for this condition should be taken. A

been on the market for great many
years, and which has been highly recon-
neuded by thousands OF users, Is DR..

ARE WE THE cHILDRHN OF NATURE
Who can but admire the beautiful
things in nature-the glory of the land
scape, the trees, the meadows, the beauty
Of the sea and heaven When we can
admire we know that we are children of
nature. The earth has nourished lis
through unknown ages of human exist
ence. A mystical bond of sympathy
connects US with the earth. Is it not
true that the earth supplies US with
everything that we really require for
existence We can live on vegetables
and fruit which the earth produces. We
would probably be better off to-day as a
race without meat. Have you ever
thought that it is probable that the earth
supplied us with the means to keep our
bodilyvigor, our health, if we only knew
it7 The animals know by instinct what
is good for them and will search until
they find in some plant what they need
for correcting indigestion or constipa-
ton, etc. Is it therefore not probable
that there are roots and herbs supplied
by nature which will cure the diseases
that afflict human kindl That Is why we
have such faith in DR.. Pierce's Golden
