TIE OLD HOMESTEADS.
Historic Monuments to the Thrift of
Our Ancestors.

It is as natural for us to love the trees,
the meadows, the old homesteads, as it
is to want food and drink Our ances-
tors built well when they erected those
old mansions, the walls of which are in
many cases as firm and good to-day as
they were one hundred and fifty years
ago Our ancestors lived more simple
lives than we do at the present day.
They lived closer to nature. They lived
in the sunshine and out of doors. AS
rule they ate simple foods and easily dl-
gested them. To-day the American peo-
pie eat fast, eat unwholesome foods and
are shut up i'll dark and close Offices,
shops and lily ventilated rooms. Nature
provides us with all we need for life if
we only can take advantage Of the good
air, sunshine and eat good fruits and
vegetables. Nature also provides the
remedy for ill-health and stomach troub-
les in its roots, herbs and banks. Some
forty years ago Dr. R. v. Pierce, now
chief of staff to the 1nvalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
found that certain herbs, roots and barks,
when made into a concentrated extract,
helped in the assimilation Of the food
and purified the blood. This vGolden
Medical Discovery of DR.. Pierce makes
pure rich blood. Eyeyy, bottle bears the
H stamp of pubic abpyogai. The reason
many patent medicines fail. in curing
disease and eradicating poisons from the
blood is because they contain large guam
titles of alcohol. DR.. r. v. Pierce never
believed in the use of alcohol for a me-
dicinal tonic, as he found it shrunk up
+ the red blood corpuscles, and although
it might give temporary benefit, it did

prove that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol by simple
distillation. Therefore do not permit
the dealer to persuade You that he makes
something better, or knows Of something
vjust as good" for it is almost certain to
contain alcohol or narcotics, and will not
do you the lasting good which this uDis-
coveryO of DR.. Pierce is sure to do
| Thousands of people have given their
testimony as to its merits, and lack Of
space only permits us to publish a few o.
| the many letters received every day from
! those who have tested its merits The
| reason they speak SO highly of it is be
cause it supplies the needed strength t.
| the body to throw off cold-to preven
catarrh, pneumonia or consumption. By
/ its nourishing qualities the body is filled
with renewed vitality and for the weak
ened system as remedy for those re
covering from sickness it is the safes
tonic one can take.
