please her husbands appetite with well
cooked food for the table. Many man is
grouchy, ugly, nervous, suffering from dis
tress after eating, heart palpitation, and all
through the overwo.ked stomach.
Dr. Piefce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which helps the digestion of food In the
stomach, ossists the blood IN taking up the
proper eiemeuts from the food, helps the
liver into activity, thereby throwing out
the poisons in the blood and vitalizine the
whole system This assimilation helps in
the oxidation Of thc red blood corpuscies,
the poisons In the eystem are eliminated,
the heart gets the right kind of blood and
the person feels invigoratod and stronger
In consequence. As a tissue builder it Is
far preferable to cod liver oil or any alco-
holic compounds or tonics, because 1t gives
the blood and the tissues the food elements
they require and maintains a PERSONS
nutrition by enabling him TO eat, retain,
digest and assimilate nutritious food.
1t overcomes the gastric irritability and
symptoms of indigestion. Because Of the
good effects from using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery upon nutrition and the

writes L. J. Smithwick Esq. Accountant OF

vary obstinate form Of skin disease commonly
known as teiter which, being confined TO the
palms of my hands and fingers, was very annoy

hard and dry aud would break OF crack, which
was very painful.
eI wrote to DR.. Pierce, stating the case and
requesting his advice He advised me to use his
Golden Medical Discovery to purify the blood
after which he thought the skin trouble would
all disappear and ] am grateful 10 say that after
the fourth bottle there was no sign Of the dis
ease left."
