RYDALE'S TONIC
a REAL CURE FOR
MAIAR,IA

1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria. breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard TO cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine.
Iron, etc. stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. II drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes il rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood
builder. nerve rcstorer. and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap-
point you.

To the INNER man.
Cafes and lunch rooms are filed with men
and women who seem TO give all their time
and attention TO thoughts of properly or
improperly feeding their stomachs. 1T Is
of course best to eat slowly. but not too
much. saws DR. Pierce. chief consulting
physician TO the Invalids Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo. y. V In this
7oth century people devote so much time
20 head work that their brain is tagged and
there isn't sufficient blood left To property
take care of the other organs of the body.
The stomach must be assisted III its hard
work-the liver started into action-by the
use Of good stomach tonic. which should
be entirely of vegetable ingredients and
without alcohol. After years of experience
in an active practice, DIR. Pierce discovered
a remedy that suited these conditions IN a
blood maker and tissue builder. He called
il DI. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery
an Alternative extract that assists in the
digestion and assimilation of the food in
the siomach-so that the blood gets what
IL needs for food and oxidation. the liver Is
al the same time started into activity and
there is perfec, elimination of waste mat
ter. When the blood IS pure and rich. all
the organs work without effort. and the
body Is like perfect machine.
