10 mouth. and have little
reserve for emergencies. OF
course. we know OF persons whose
nature it IS to be thin-"born that
way. some say, but there is a
healthy standard by which per-
son who knows himself can gauge
his good health or poor health. If
for any reason he or she IS below
his or her normal weight, then it
IS wise TO look out for trouble. In
case the germs OF grippe. typhoid
or consumption gain an entrance
to the body they find fertile field
and develop Immediately, We
can only compare this sudden TAX
ing on OF disease germs by the
thin body TO the fertile field which
laws fallow until an unfortunate
wind carries the seeds OF some
wild and worthless plant there
and they quickly root and flour
ish. Almost any grave change in
health is at once betrayed by the
loss of flesh. which shows most
often in the face. This condition
almost always co-exists with inn
poverished blood. A gain OF flesh
up to a certain point means rise
in other essentials of health; the
red corpuscles of the blood are in
creased and the color improved.
When persons find themselves
losing weight they should heed
the warning and use the proper
means in time before disease fast
ems on them. A tonic Alternative
is needed to digest and assimilate
the food.
Do not expect too mucn from
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t will not
work miracles. 1t will not cure
consumption i'll its advanced
stages. No medicine will. Nor
is the Discovery so good for a
sudden attack of acute cough, but
for the lingering. obstinate, hang
on-coughs accompanying catarrh-
al, throat, laryngeal and bronchial
affections it is a most efficacious
remedy. In cases accompanied
with wasting of flesh, night
sweats. weak stomach and poor
digestion with faulty asamila-
ton, and which, if neglected or
badly treated, are apt to lead to
consumption, the Discovery
has proven wonderfully success
full in effecting cures. 1t corrects
and overcomes- indigestion, dys-
pepsia, biliousness. torpid liver,
chronic diarrhea and kindred de-
rangement of the stomach. liver
and bowels.
Get as near to natures way as
YOU can. There's reason. Veg
etable foods are the best for the
body i'll health. The human econ
orny digests and assimilates them
best. In diseases, remedies made
entirely of botanical plants and
roots are best and safest for the
system. They are assimilated in
the stomach and taken up by the
blood, and are, therefore, the
most potent means which can be
employed for the regaining of lost
health. Dr. R. V. Pierce. consult

tel and Surgical Institute. at Buff

TO STUDY CULT
WIFE OF PURDUE PRESIDENT
,soLATEs HERSELF.
SEENIN GERMANY
Offered to Resign His Posi-
ton, But Board Of Trustees Refused
to Permit Him to Leave-stranae
Cult Was a Fad.

Lafayette, Ind, May 2.-President
Winthrop Ellsworth Stone of Purdue
university, confirmed today a report
that his wife has withdrawn from the
world, including her husband and fam
lily, to pursue a mystic teaching sup
posed to be imported from India.
He and his two son are hearkbrok-
en- and would eagerly welcome her
back but are unable to reach her. The
circumstances ere laid by President
Stone before the board Of trustees Of
the university with his resignation,
but the board has voted to retain
President Stone in the official posi-
ton he has held with conspicuous sue
cess since 1900.
Three years ago there were many
women and some men in the college
town Joined the class which became
quite the fad with certain highly edu-
Gated people. It was taught that the
complete power of the Yoga involved
withdrawal or separation from kim
bred and friends.
The last. heard from President
Stones wife she was in Germany.
