Old Are.

Old age as it comes in the orderly
process Of Nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow Of
eclipse which threatens its makes it
the more priced. 1t stands for expert
ence. knowledge, wisdom and counsel.
That is old age as it should be. But
old age as it often is means nothing
but a second childhood Of body and
mind. What makes the difference 7?
Very largely the care Of the stomach.
In youth and the full strength Of man
hood it doesn't seem to matter how we
treat the stomach. We abuse it. over
work it, iniure it. We don't suffer
from it much. But when age comes
the stomach is worn out. 1t cant pre-
pare and distribute the needed nour-
ishment to the body, and the body, un-
nourished. falls into senile decay. DR..
Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery is
wonderful medicine for old people
whose stomachs are weak" and whose
digestions are poor" Its invigorating
effects are felt by mind as we'll as
body. 1t takes the sting from old age,
and makes old people strong.
