Are You Tired, Nervous
 and Sleepless ?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us- ually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nouriShing blood; they are StdrUed nerves. Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery mdkcs pure, rich blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body arc run as smoothly as machin- cry which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and strenuous-you arc toned up and invigorated, and you are good for whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and in- crease in vitality and health are hSting.
 The trouble with most tonicS and med icines which have large, booming sale for short time, is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuScles, and in the long run greatly injures the system. One may feel cXhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of it bears upon it's wrapper The Badge 0f Honestly, in full list of all it's several ingredients. For the druggist to offer you something he claims is "just as good " is to insult your intelligence.
 Every ingredient entering into the world-famed "Golden Medical Discovery !" has the unanimous approval and endorse mcnt of tho leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice. No other medicine sold through druggists for like purposes has any such endorsement.
 The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden Seal root, in all stomach, liver and bowel troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con stipation, alteration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used in it's compound ing is greatly enhanced in it's curative ac- tion by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherrybarl!, Bloodroot, Man drake root and chemically pure triple refined glycerine.
