Twenty four hours after YOU
start to take DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, poisonous mat
ter and blood impurities begin
to leave your body through the
Liver, Bowels, Kidneys and Skin.
So powerfully penetrating is
this purely vegetable remedy that
through the circulation of the
blood it reaches fibre, muscle and
joint, dissolves the poisonous secre-
tons and drives them out Of the
body.
It brings new activity to the
liver, stomach and bowels in a
short time, thus causing saIlow-
ness, indigestion and constipation
to disappear.
It enters the tiny blood vessels
of the skin, bringing with it fresh
vitalized blood, and abiding faith
in the wonderful cleansing power
has come to thousands, when
pimples, boils, carbuncles, rash.
eczema, acne and other skin
troubles dry up and disappear.
Good blood means good health
good health means strong men
and women. full of vigor and
ambition, with minds alert and
muscles ever willing. Any medi-

CHAPTER xvI-Continued

EVIDENTLY we had cIrcled. but which
T. way It was difficult to say, nor did 1t
seem possible with the sun to guide us
by day and the moons and stars by night
Al any rate no waterway was In sight,
and the entire party was almost ready to
drop from hunger, thirst and fatigue.
Far ahead of us and n trile to the right
we could distinguish the outlines of low
mountains. These we decided to attempt
TO reach in the hope that from some ridge
we might descry the missing waterway.
Night fell upon us before we reached our
goal, and. almost fainting from weariness
and weakness, we lay down and slept
was awakened early in the morning
by some huge body pressing close to
mine. and opening my eyes with a start
/ beheld the blessed old Woola smuggling
close to me the faithful brute had fol-
lowed us across that trackless waste to
share our fate, whatever 1t might be.
Putting my arms about his neck
pressed my cheek close TO his. nor am
ashamed That / did it, nor of the tears
that came to my eyes as thought of his
love for me.
Sola awakened and IL was decided that
we push on at once In an effort to gain
the hills.
We had gone scarcely a mile when /
noticed that my thoat was commencing to
stumble and stagger in most pitiful
manner. though we had not attempted to
force them out of walk since about noon
of the preceding day. Suddenly he
lurched wildly to one side and pitched
violently to the ground. Dejah Thoris and
/ were thrown clear of him. and fell upon
the soft moss with scarcely jar but the
poor beast was in a pitiable condition,
not even being able to rise, though re-
lieved of our weight
Sola told me that the coolness of the
night. when 1t fell, together with the rest
would doubtless revive him. and so / de-
cided not to kill him as was my first In
tention, as had thought 1t cruel to leave
him alone to die of hunger and thirst. Re-
lieving him of his trappngs, which flung
down beside him, we left the poor fellow
to his fate and pushed on with the one
thoat as best we could.
Sola and walked. making DeJah ThorIs
ride, much against her will In this way
we had progressed to within about a mile
of the hills we were endeavoring to reach
when Dejar Thoris. from her point of
vantage upon the thoat, cried out that
she saw great party of mounted men
filing down from pass in the hills several
miles away.
