RULES oF HEALTH.

Remember this, that our bodies
will not stand the strain of overwOrk
without good, pure blood any more
than the engine can run smoothly
without Oil" After many years of
study in the active practice of medi-
cine DR.. r. V. Pierce found that when
blood impure and there were symp-
toms OF general breakdown, a tonic
made of the Alternative extracts OF GER
tain herbs and roots was the best cor
rective. This he called Dr. Pierce 5
Golden Medical Discovery. For over
third of century this tonic and
Alternative has been more largely sold
than any other blood medicine or
nerve tonic. Being made without al
cohol, this Medical Discovery" does
not shrink up the red blood cor
puscles, but on the other hand it in
creases their number, and they be-
come round and healthy. It helps
the stomach to asslmilate or take up
the proper elements from the food
thereby helping digestion and curing
dyspepsia, heartburn and many un-
comfortable symptoms, such as heart
palpitation, due to gas formed in the
stomach. 1t Is especially adapted in
diseases attended with excessive tis-
sue waste, especially in conSalescence
from the various spring fevers,
whether of a malarial or typhoid
character. As a tonic and recon
structive during and after the inau-
ences of grip it will prove of particu-
lar value. 1t has been extensively
used as re-builder after the severity
of a rheumatic attack.

Thomas Huxley it was who de-
scribed the brain as a perfect logic
engine. working without friction,
without fret and without fear, with
the strain equally divided. "The
question then becomes, says DR..
Pierce, how to run this engine with
out blowing up the boiler, without
accident and without sending the To-
comotlve to the repair shop. An ig-
norant man cannot run an engine;
neither can man oyerwork his brain
unless he observes certain laws of
health without meeting with some
disaster. If the engine is properly
oiled and cared for it will last great
many years, and in the same way If
the human mechanism is properly
looked after 1t will last the allotted
three score and ten years. AS civil
lization progresses, the draft on the
brain and nerves increases, but no
class of work burns up blood as fast
as brain work. Hard work confined
TO shop or Office, without the inyigo-
rating air and sunshine, becomes the
pace that kills. the muscles and flesh
become fiabby and the blood watery.
The human system must be labora-
tory for the constant manufacture of
rich, red blood. Success and courage
depend upon the blood anu the
blood depends upon the stomach, foI
the stomach, when healthy, taxes

nients required for the blood. If the
stomach cannot assimilate the food
taken up, then the blood and the
