RULES OF HEALTH.
Remember this, that our bodies will
not stand the strain Of over.work with
out good, pure blood any more than the
engine can run smoothly without oil.
After many wears Of study in the active
practice OF medicine, DR.. r. V. Pierce
found that when the stomach was out Of
ordeR the blood impure and there were
symptoms of general break down, a
tonic made of the Alternative extracts of
certain herbs and roots was the best cor
rective This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For over
third of a century this tonic ard altera-
tive has been more largely soid than any
other blood medicine OF nerve tonic.
Being made without alcohol, this oMed-
ical Discovery does not shrink up the
red blood corpuscles, but on the other
hand it increases their number, and they
become round and healthy. II helps
the stomach to assiniilate or take up the
proper elements from the food, thereby
helping digestion and curing dyspepsia,
heartburn, and many uncomfortable
symptoms, such as heaft-palpitation due
to gas formed in the stomach. II is
especially adapted in diseases attended
with excessive tissue waste, especially in
convalescence from the various spring
fevers, whether of a malarial or typhoid
character As a tonic and reconstructive
during and after the influences of grip
il will prove Of particular value. II has
been extensively used as a re- builder
after the severity of a rheumatic attack.
81 now take the opportunity to let
you know that have not forgotten you
or your wonderful mediciues,D writes

Thomas Huxley il was, who described
the brain as a perfect logic engine, work
ing without friction. without fret and
without fear, with the strain equally
divided The question then becomes"
says Dr. Pierce vhow TO run this engine
without blowing up the boiler, without
accident, and without sending the loco
motive to the repair shop. An ignorant
man cannot run an engine; neither can
a man over-work his brain unless he
observes certain laws of health without
meeting With some disaster" II the
engine is properly oiled and cared for It
will last great many years, and in the
same way if the human mechanism is
properly looked after Il will last the
allotted three score and ten years. As
civilization progresses, the draft on the
brain and nerves increases, but no class
Of work burns up blood as fast as brain
work. Hard work confined to shop or
Office, without the invigorating air and
sunshine becomes the pace that kills,
the muscles and flesh become flabby and
the blood gatery. The human system
must be a laboratory for the constant
manufacture Of rich, red blood. Success
and courage depend upon the blood and
the blood depends upon the stomach,
for the stomach, when healthy, lakes
mp from the food we eat the elements
required for the blood If the stomach
cannot assiniilate the food taken up,
then the blood and the nerves starve for
the proper nounshment they require.
This human machine soon breaks down,
like ,he engine without coal for its boil
ers, because the heart, liver and lungs
do not receive the pure blood neces-
sarY to keep them strong and active.
