Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that ii her churn Is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach Is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which arc almost exactly like the
churning of butter Is it not apparent
then that If this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil OF foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption OF
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the echurn-absolutel
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have vefreQuent headaches,
