may develop these home resources. A
fair and liberal system Of laws will

under such conditions, the young men
OF our State will find Virginia the most

make useful citizens here, instead OF

every boy such opportunities as will

out a successful career and become q

One of the greatest American millionRires
once said to his physician, "A million dol
lars, Doctor, for a new stomach and then
the sick man gToaned and turned away
One Of a mans greatest pleasures Is that
born Of keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs to
many a good fellow who is living on small
wages, but the rich man without stomach
has to forego the good things Of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without
healthy stomach and a good digestion, our
blood Is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action Is weak, our liver does not do its
duty, and man Is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey TO the germs
of influenza, consumption, malaria and all
the ills that he Is heir TO. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close TO nature as possible.
DR.. X. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, al Buffalo, N. Y, years ago I'M
derstood this disease, and after a long pc
Rod OF experiment discovered certain roOts
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up IN a
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called DR.. Piercc's
Golden Medical Discovery. II gives no
false stimulation because II contains no
ton and the assimilation Of such elements
In the food as are required for the blood.
Instead Of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has a pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives TO the blood the food elements the
tissues require. II maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assifnilate nutritious food. II
overcomes gastric irritability and symp-
toms OF indigestion, and in this way fever,
night. sweats, headaches, etc, are done
away with. II fortihes the body against
the germs Of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and Il builds up the tissues and putn
on healthy Aesn.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is Just as good" as DIR. Pieree's
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be
cause he hopes to make a better proft
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test Of long experience nor had the success
that DIR. Pierce's medicines have had.
