Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body Is foul before you cleanse it e.
IL IS matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are so careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies in a wholesome condition and who
dwell IN filthy surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gcrous to the individual than a foul body
An unciean body Is rather a passive than
an active hindrance TO health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the verv
ife-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
II is part Of Natures plan for human
safety that IN many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body in proof Of the corrupt current that is
flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with
its irritation, salt-rheum, letter erysipelas
boils, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs Of the impurity of the
blood But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition: oulv dull
languid, sluggish feelings, which are COM
monty attributed solely to the sluggishness
of the liver.
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry easily takes the first place. 1t elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt il, and which breed and
feed disease. II acts directly on the blood
making glands. increasing their activity,
and so increasing the supply of rich, pure
blood which is the life of the body.
Accept no substitute for rColden Med
ical Discovery" There is nothing rjust
as good for diseases of the stomach,
blood and lungs.
DR.. Pierce's Medical Adviser, paper COW
ers, is sent free on receipt of II one-ceut
stamps to pay expense of mailing only.
