II is curious fact that the word hands
should live in our language as practical
definition of the value and standing of the
laboring classes. Mill hands, farm hands,
factory hands, they are all alike, simply
hands. Even the workers themselves re-
cognize this definition as accurate by rarely
looking beyond the activity of the hands
whose skill or strength earns the wage.
But some day the worker learns that behind
the hands is the stomach. When the stom-
ach is weak or diseased the hands lose their
strength and cunning. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition. 1t makes the body strong. 1t
enables man to work full time and earn
full wages. Dds a.l dY p,..5a5.'
