A Human Match Factory.

The body of the average man contains
phosphorus sufficient to make ls3,si0
matches, enough 10 fill about GOO boxes.
allowing eighty matches TO the box.
Phosphorus Is one OF fourteen elements
entering into the composition Of the body.
IL is divided among the bones, flesh, nerv.
Gus system, and other organs. Without
phosphorus tire brain would be weak, the
body feeble, and the bones would disin.
tegrate leaving man a squidy inverte-
brate squirming in the dust. The perfect
health Of the human body requires a per-
feet balance of the constituent elements
Of which it is composed. The carbon,
iron, lime, sulphur, sodium, etc, must all
be replaced as they are used up in human
energy. Take all the iron from the blood
and the circulation stops, That's death.
Change the proper proportion OF these
substances to each other, destroy their
natural balance in the body, and you de-
stroy the balance of health.
THE FOOD WE EAT.
Where do these essential elements OF
vital force como from? From tho food
we eat How are they extracted and dis
tributcd to the several organs they sus-
tain? The are extracted and distributed
by the stomach and other organs of di-
gcStiOn and nutrition. What happens
Is only partly digestcd and assimilated.
And then what? Then the balance of
health is destroyed and there's blood
rtrouble," nerve trouble" lung trouble
heart trouble" or some other rtrouble'
with the vital organs OF the body. Pain
is the hunger cry Of the starved organs.
What then is tho logical first step to
health?
Put The stomach and organs Of digestion,
and nutrition into q condition Of sound
hCdlth. That is just what is done by DR..
Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery and
that is Just the secret Of the many mar
vicious cures effected by this remedy.
No medicine can make fat or flesh.
Food alone can make them. Only the
stomach and its allied organs can eX-
tract from the food the elements that
make flesh and fat and sustain life.
"Nerve foods. -" matchmaking medicines,
are mere fads and fallaeicS. The stomach
and organs OF digestion and nutrition pre-
pare and distribute the food.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is not cure-all. 1t does one thing. 1t
cures diseases OF the stomach and organs
OF digestion and nutrition. The rest Ma
/ ture does. Nature feeds the nerves. en-
riches the blood, heals the lungs and re-
stores the falling vital powers. Golden

distractions disease has put in Natures
way.
