A Human Match Factory.

The body OF the average man contains
phosphorus sufficient to make 4s3,S40
matches, enough to fill about 5000 boxes,
allowing eighty matches to the box.
Phosphorus is one Of fourteen elements
entering into the composition Of the body.
1t is divided among the bones, flesh, nerv-
Gus system, and other organs. Without
phosphorus the brain would be weak, the
body feeble, and the bones would disin-
tegrate leaving man a squidy inverte-
brate squirmng in the dust. The perfect
health Of the human body requires per-
feet balance OF the constituent elements
Of which 1t is composed. The carbon,
iron, lime, sulphur, sodium, ETC., must all
be replaced as they are used up in human
energy. Take all the iron from the blood
and the circulation stops. That's death.
Change the proper proportion of these
substances to each other, destroy their
natural balance In the body, and you de-
stroy the balance Of health.
THE FOOD WE EAT.
Where do these essential elements OF
vital force come from? From the food
we eat. How are they extracted and dis
tributed to the several organs they sus-
tain? The are extracted and distributed
by the stomach and other organs of di-
gestion and nutrition. What happens
when the stomach is weak? The food
Is only partly digested and assimilated.
And then what? Then the balance of
health is destroyed and there's blood
rVtrouble," nerve trouble" lung rtrouble,"
heart trouble" or some other Utrouble"
with the vital organs of the body. Pain
Is the hunger cry of the starved organs.
What then Is the logical first step to
health?
Put the stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition into q condition Of sound
health. That is just what is done by DIR.
Perce's Golden Medical Discovery and
that is Just the secret of the many mar
Vicious cures effected by this remedy.
No medicine can make fat or flesh.
Food alone can make them. Only the
stomach and its allied organs can ex-
tract from the food the elements that
make flesh and fat and sustain life.
UNerve foOds."" blood making /" medicines,
are mere fads and falacies. The stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition pre-
pare and distribute the food.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is not a curo-all. 1t does one thing. 1t
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
OF digestion and nutrition. The rest Ma
ture does. Nature feeds the nerves. en-
riches the blood, heals the lungs and re-
stores the failing vital powers. "Golden
distractions disease has put in Natures
way.
