ON THE FARM.
HOW NATURE PROVIDES FOR US.

The most independent man on earth Is
the farmer, for he makes the earth yield
him almost everything needed for life.
He knows that as he sows so will he
reap. He usually keeps strong and
healthy from constant strife with Nature
in sunshine and in pure air. At night
when work is done, he finds most refresh
ing sleep, such as only tired man
knows. In the same way that the earth
yields food for man, so does it provide
remedies for human ills. Thousands Of
households throughout the farming dis
tricts of the United States know the
value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery 1t is Natures most valuable and
/ health-giving agent-made without the
use of alcohol 1t contains native medi-
cinal roots, and is the concentration OF
! Natures vitality as found in the Ameri-
can forests. This remedy has history
which speaks we'll for It because II was
given to the public by DR. R. V. Pierce,
founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surg

titles.
Dr. Pierce found that the bark of
the Black Cherry tree, the root of the
Mandrake, Stone root, Queens root,
Bloodroot and Golden Seal root made

the use of glycerine made the best altera-
tive and tonic. The refreshing influence
of this extract is at once apparent in the
recovered strength of the patient-the
vital fires Of the body burn brighter and
their increased activity consumes the
| tissue rubbish which otherwise may
poison the system. This Alternative and
tonic extract has been found to stand
alone as safe, invigoratng tonic, as 1t
does not depend on alcohol for a false
stimulation, but is Natures o1Un method
