CoddIing the Stomach.
THE SO-CALLED SCIENTIFIC
FEEDING."

eSesN this 2oth century of advance
GHsl ment, people are too apt TO listen
SHS to new theories and Ibut into
e. practice new-fangled otions of
feeding. Not only do admits fol-
low so-called cscientifc systens," but
they cram down the mouths Of their
children such scientific soft foods that
require no exercise of the digestive Or
gans, that the children are apt to become
fragile and their stomachs too weak to
take in strengthening food and be
able to assinilate it. This Is hot,
house condition that no man, woman or
child should permit. Look at the anat-
ouy of the stomach. It is made up,
outwardly, of several layers Of muscles
laid over one another. 1t has, interiorly,
certain glands whose function it is to
pour forth the gastric juices whenever
its NAV is filled wits food. Give these
muscles and this wonderful chemical
continuance no work to do and It will
become weak-too weak to properly di-
gest the food to sustain the blood and
feed the nerves. The muscles of the
stomach require exercise just as any
other muscles of the body; neglect them
with too much ease and inaction and
you raise dyspeptic. Natures way is
the best. Our teeth were never made
for soft food. Eat food that requires
biting, chewing, 1nasticating. Give the
stomach exercise-give all the muscles
Of the body exercise-by taking walks
or runs in the fresh air. DO not pamper
the children with hot-house methods;
there is a common sense method. If
the children or man or woman show a
tendency to be "off their feed," if they

be toned up with harmless tonic which
will increase the secretions of the diges-
tive tract. A tonic made of medicinal
herbs which will stimulate the stomach
into greater activity and increase the
secretion of the phosphates from the
food-a remedy which will do this is one
which has stood the test Of public ap-
proyal for nearly forty years., containing
Pieroe's Golden Medical Discovery. It
can be given to the smallest child with
perfect freedom. If the blood is i'm
pure, if pimples, boils, headaches occur,
if the stomach is weak-frst eradicate
the poisons from the blood.
AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD
of restoring waste Of tissue and impover-
ishment of the 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; mild
breathing exercise practiced each day.
This "Medical Discovery" gives no false
stimulation, because it does not contain
alcohol or a narcotic. It helps diges
ton and the assimilation of such ele
ments in the food as are required for the
blood. Instead of cod liver oil, against
which the already sensitive stomach will
declare open rebellion, this tonic has {
pacifying action upon the sensitive stom
ach and gives to the blood the fooc
elements the tissues require, It main
tains ones nutrition by enabling him tx
eat, retain, digest and assinlilate nytriti
Gus food. It overcorles gastric irrita
bility and symptoms of indigestion, and
in this way, fever, night-sweats, head
aches, ETC., are done away with.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover

the poisons that breed and feed disease
