a Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be q stupid as we'll as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
IN treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the Secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accommodations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection of other organs.

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease ir
Almost Every Form and Even in
Advanced Stages.

Rheumatism is painful infamma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not COnfine itself
to any one part Of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves 1t and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is 10 attack the heart External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi.
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
St, Auburn, Me, says: II had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by OyerwOrk. My heart was
weak and my hands cOlorless. I was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.

fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. l frequently felt numb all
over. My head aChed continuously for
five years.
About two years ago began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became

were swollen and panied me terribly.

headaches stopped and not long after
ward | felt the pain in my joints be-
coming less and less, until there was
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
