the growing crops and ruin their pro-
duCtiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy drags out sick1y existence.
When tl'a stomach is diseased, and the
other Z, ,..ns of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The stom-
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements of
vitality. What is known as "weak /"
heart or nweak" lungs, vweak" nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by vweak stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by a diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,
lungs, liver and other organs. It in
creases the activity of the blood-making
glands, so that the whole body is nour-
ished by an abundant supply of pure
blood, rich in the bright red corpuscles
of health.
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery" and it contains neither
opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic.
1t is strictly temperance medicine.
Persons suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All correspondence
strictly private. Address DIR. ". Pierce,

ical Discovery and also his Pleasant Pellets
After had taken only half bottle was greatly
improved. l only took three bottles of the
Golden Medical Discovery and two vials of the
Pellets and, thanks to DIR. Pierce and his
wonderful medicine, am as well as ever in my
life and feel that life is worth living after all.
vI,ast winter I took a severe cold which re-
suited in pleurisy. Tongue can not tell what
suffered. For two nights and two days could
not move without it nearly killed me. 1 told
my husband could not endure another night of
suffering. The weather was so cold and stormy
that it was almost too bad for any one to go six
miles to town, but he went, and got bottle OF
Or. Pierce's Extract of Smart Weed, which gave
me instant relief / can say that for all pains
that have tried it for it has worked like magic.
We keep a bottle of the Smart Weed in the
house all the time. I cannot thank DR.. Pierce
enough for what he has done for meU
