The Mammoth and the Mosquito

What has come 10 pass in thousands of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, a weakling in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters 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. II is now time
for the scientist TO devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house
fiy spreads germs of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find place in our blood,
and then we suffer from grip. catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute at Buffalo. n. Y, says: There
would be no grip cpidemics. 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 accumulate in the
body; TO be safe il is best TO take gentle
laxative at least once a week" Such a
vegetable laxative as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as a
ssue-builder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs. colds. catarrh, grip, nothing will
build one up quicker than DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is a med
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,
without the use of alcohol.
DR. Pierce's Medical Adviser is sent free
on receipt of stamps to pay expense of
mailing only. Send 81 one-cent stamps
for paper covered, or 81 stamps for cloth
binding, to DR.. r. v. Pierce. Buffalo, N. "

OVER BACKWARD
The Horse Fell on His Rider.

The sustaining value for hardest
work as we'll as wonderful health
bringing properties of proper food
were never shown better than in the
case of Colorado man who received
an injury to the stomach and intes-
tines from horse throwing himself
backward and falling upon him. He
says: For IL years | suffered untold
agony from eating. any food distressed
me beyond description.
"At times | was able to work but
this gave me an appetite which |
tried to satisfy with the common and
substantial fare which is prepared by
the average farmers wife, but almost
Immediately after the meal l would
be seized with cramps and convulsions
SO severe that my life was despaired
of. Only the best medical skill and
careful nursing could save my life at
these times. The injury had caused
structures and adhesionS in the stom-
ach and intestines which the rough
food could not pass through, thus
causing obstruction of the bowels
which is so often fatal.
These attacks occurred with great
frequency for II long years until |
was a physical wreck. My heart had
become very weak, my pulse slow, /
had lost much flesh and one of the
best surgeons in Denver told me /
must be operated upon at once in or
der to save my life. He said l would
surely pass away in one of these spells
unless / submitted to the knife.
Now after these spells / always had
t6 diet for some time until the inllam-
nation had subsidized and I was able
to move around again but then would
come another attack After one OF
the most severe of these spells, during
which l became unconscious and un-
able to use a muscle for hours, the
doctor told me / would never again
be able to eat solid food or work
hard.
II had tried sample of Grape
Nuts food and found had no uneasy
feeling following SO / began to con-
fine myself almost entirely to Grape
Nuts and in a remarkably short time
I began to gain flesh and feel like
working again. The more Grape
Nuts / ate the better l liked them
so I made this almost my entire food
with Postum Coffee, the doctor hav-
ing advised me to quit coffee on ac-
count of its action on my heart.
"And now at this writing more than
n wear has passed away since my last
sick spell for 1 have not had one since
I commenced eating Grape-Nuts.
am working every day right along be-
side strong men in the garden and
farm, do everything and anything that
is required of the farmer-ploughing
hoeing or pitching hay. I never have
any more pains, in fact | can almost
forget my injury.
when I come home from market
a saucer of Grape-Nuts is my break
fast and I can then go to work and
feel that I can live and be as other
men again There is no other feeling
like getting back your health.
