There's many a successful business
man who sits Ill his city office and lets
his mind slip back to his boyhood days
on the farm. How good it felt to live
What an appetite he had How good
everything tasted How sound his sleep
was! How eagerly he rose with the sun
and raced with him through the long
day. And now he's a successful man.
But he can't sleep. He doesn't enjoy
his food. His stomach is weak, his
nerves are shaken, and he no more rises
with the sun to race eagerly against him.
His vitality is low and now and again
his heart seems to plunge in his breast
as if it would break loose. That's the
price he has paid for success.
The mischief of the whole business is
that he buys tablets" of one sort or
another to uaid" his digestion, and in
dulgcs i'll bromides and other nerve
stiinulants, just to hold himself together,
and wonders why he seems to be getting
worse.
The whole trouble with such a man
generally lies in what is called weak I"
stomach. The food he eats does not
nourish him because it is only partially
digested and assimilated. No man can
be stronger than his stomach, because 1t
is in the stomach and allied organs of
digestion and nutrition that strength is
made from the food which is eaten.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
1t restores the strength of the body in
the only way strength can be restored,
by food which is perfectly digested and
assimilated, when the diseased stomach
with its allied organs) is cured of dis
ease. 1t is a blood making. body build
ing medicine, inasmuch as blood is made
from food and the body is built up by
blood. 1t is not stimulant, containing
neither alcohol or any other narcotic.
