What has come to pass in thousands of years
seems hardly cred;tabe. Is it not strange that
primitive man, weakling in comparison with mod
ern man, was able to conquer the huge monsters of
thousands OF years ago. such as the Mammoth and
to-day they are dead forever yet the mosquito and
fly have never been conquered. 1t is the time
for the scientist to devise methods for killing the
mosquito and fly, so that they will go to join the
mammoth and the monster lizards. The mosquitoes
and flies are dangerous enemies of because they
spread contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ OF malaria with his bite. The house-fy
spreads germs of disease over our food These
germs or bacteria, hunting for the weak spot,
find place IN Our blood, and then suffer from
grip catarrh, consumption or malaria.
How can we fight these invisible enemies9 There
is no known method better than putting the blood
into the best possible condition SO that there will be
weak spots for the germs enter and by increas
ing the red blood corpuscles that the organs of
the body are rourished with rich red blood DR.
R. " Pierce chief consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel aud Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. "
says: Where would be no grip epidemics, the germs
of consumption, or malaria would find no place in
the human economy if the blood were pure, if the
lungs, heart and other organs were fed ON good
blood Poisons should not be allowed to accurnu
late in the body; to be safe it is best to take a
gentle laxative at least once week" Such a
vegetable laxative DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
