The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her chuFn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a 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 if this stomach-churn Is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a 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.
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 sweIlings,
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 lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indf-
geStion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
OF leading teachers and practitioners OF
all the several schools OF medical practice,
have been skilIfully and harmoniously
combined in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
If you will but mail postal card request
to DR.. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for q
free copy of his booklet of extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names of all the ingredients entering
into his world-famed medicines and show.

Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
It does not benefit he will return
your money
