THE OLD HOMESTEADS.
Historic Monuments to the Thrift of
Our Ancestors.

1t is as natural for us to love the
trees, the meadows, the old home
steads, as it is to want food and
drink. Our ancestors built well
when they erected those old man
sions, the walls of which are in many
cases as firm and good today as they
were one hundred and fifty years
ago. Our ancestors lived more SIM
pie lives than we do at the present
day. They lived closer to nature.
They lived in the sunshine and out
of doors. AS rule they ate simple
foods and easily digested them. To-
day the American people eat fast,
eat unwho1esome foods and are shut
up in dark and close offices, shops
and lily ventilated rooms. Nature
provides us with all we need for life
if we only can take advantage of the
good air, sunshine and eat good
fruits and vegetables. Nature also
provides the remedy for ill-health
and stomach troubles in its roots,
herbs and barks. Some forty years
ago DR.. R. V. Pierce, now chief of
staff to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
found that certain herbs, roots and
barks, when made into a concen-
trated extract, helped in the assimi-
lation of the food and purified the
blood. This Golden Medical Dis
covery" of DR.. Pierce makes pure
rich blood. Every bottle bears the
stamp of public approval The rea-
son many patent medicines fail in
curing disease and eradicating poi
sons from the blood is because they
contain large quantities of alcohol
DR.. R. V. Pierce never believed in
the use of alcohol for medicinal
tonic, as he found it shrunk up the
red blood corpuscles, and although
it might give temporary benefit, it
did no lasting good. Any one can
easily prove that DR.. Pierce's Golden |
Medical Discovery contains no alco-
hol by simple distillation. Therefore
do not permit the dealer to persuade
you that he makes something better, |
or knows of something ''just as
good" for it is almost certain to |
contain alcohol or narcotics, and |
will not do you the lasting good |
which this Discovery" of DIR. |
Pierce is sure to do. Thousands of |
people have given their testimony
as to its merits, and lack of space
only permits us to publish Jew of
the many letters received every dav
from those who have tested its mer-
its. The reason they speak so highly
OF it is because it supplies the needed
strength to the body to throw off a
cold-to prevent catarrh, pneumo-
MIA or consumption. By its nourish-
ing qualities the body is filled with
renewed vitality, and for the weak
ened system as remedy for those
recovering from sickness it is the
safest tonic one can take.
Il would be ungrateful indeed"
writes Mrs. ]. M. Kizziar of Muir
[reesboro', Ark, Should l not do all
could to assist you in your great
effort to relieve the suffering. Moth
ing would give me more pleasure
than to be the means of helping
some poor suffering woman to find
relief, as I have done. Words fail
TO express nv gratitude to Won and
to the Faculty of your Institute for !
the relief from the great suffering I
SO long endured. / consider my
cure almost miraculous, Six years
ago my health began to fail. 1 took
many different kinds OF patent medi-

different physicians. but steadily
grew worse. Had almost given up
