Putting food into Il diseased stomach
is like putting money into pocket
with holes. The money is lost. All its
value goes for nothing. When the sto-
mach is diseased with the allied organs
OF digestion and nutrition, the food
which is put into it is largely lost. The
nutrition is not extracted from it. The
body is weak and the blood impov-
erished.
The pocket can be mended. The sto-
mach can be cured. That sterling
medicine for the stomach and blood,
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, acts with peculiar promptness
ana power on the organs Of digestion
and nutrition. 1t is n positive cure for
almost all disorders of these organs, and
cures also such diseases of the heart,
blood, liver and other organs, AS have
their cause in a weak or diseased con-
dition of the stomach.

No FALSE PRErENSE has marked the
career of Ely's Cream Balm. No idle
promises of rewards for cases it will not
cure. Being entirely harmless, it is
not responsible like the catarrh snuffs

cocaine. The great positive virtue of
Ely's Cream Balm is that 1t speedily
and completely cures nasal catarrh and

has come as such a sad blow to all
who knew her.
Three weeks ago the little girl was

their great affliction the parents and
grandmother have the sympathy of all.
