To wRnoW MyseLf" is to take advant-
age of life's secrets and equip ones self
with an arnlou which will successfully
resist the attack Of disease in the battle
of life. The old idea of fate or ukisrnet,n
and that a person always dies when his
time comes, is now exploded. Every
mechanism. whether made by God or
man, has a definite amount Of wear and
its life can be heightened or shortened
according TO the care that is given it.
IT accident or carelessness DESTROYS the
works OF the watch or the human
mechanism an end comes to its useful
ness, but it has not actually "ao,n out"
Mans system at times gets rusty like the
wheels of the watch and only needs a
little cleaning and oiling to put it in
shape for LIES battles. The watch will
sometimes stand a lot Of hard usage
before it will refuse to go, but for a long
life it must have the care and watchful-
ness of a person who understands it.
Know rhyself,r is an old Greek
proverb, that it is wise to follow to day.
That is why it is important for every one
to understand the human mechanism. A
good way is to read one of the many
doctor books which are easily pro
cured nowadays. A good one is vThe
Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser, a book containing 1905 pages,
which IS almost given away. Send II
one-ceut stamps for expense of mailing
only, for the book in paper covers, or 81
stamps for the volume bound in cloth.
Address DR.. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y.
DO NOT SAP THE SPRINGS OF Lift
by neglect Of the human mechanism, by
allowing the accumulation OF poiscns in
the system; this is the most frequent
gateway for the germs of disease to find
ar entrance TO the body. First get the
poisons out observe the methods of
every good physician to-day. Have you
ever noted that when you are feeling i'll
and call in a physician, the first thing he
gives you is a mild laxative? Afterward
he is ready to treat the symptoms as
they occur. The or-coming fever or
sickness is then met with the proper
medicines, but first of all the wise doc
tor gets rid ,of the accumulated poison
by the use OF a mild laxative. Such a
pne is DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which come in neat. little Walls, and are
warranted to be entirely vegetable and
harmless to the system. If the person
does not "pick up" very soon and feels
the lack of vitality, energy and force
necessary to work or enjoy life, then it
is well to go further and look for an
rall-round " tonic to restore lone to the
general system, blood, nerves, stomach
and heart.
AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD
of restoring waste of tissue and imporer-
ishmert OF tie blood and nervous force
is used when You take an Alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots, without the use
of alcohol, like DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
in the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Along with its use one should take
exercise in the outdoor air, get all one
can of Gods sunlight and air: a mild
breathing exercise practiced each day.
This Medical Discovery" gives no false
stimulation, because it contains no alco-
hol or other narcotic. 1t helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such ele-
ments in the food as are required for the
blood. Instead Of a cod liver oil, against
which the already sensitive stomach will
declare open rebellion, this tonic has a
pacifying action upon the sensitive ssom-
ach and gives to the blood the food
