The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scadS 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
1t sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour 1t will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesseS which are almost exactly like the
churning OF butter. Is it not apparent
then that II this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into 1t?
The evil OF foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by 1t, but the corruption OF
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination OF disease throughout the body.
DR.. 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 churn-absolutely
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.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or law

gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
