PERFECT HEALTH
HOW GAINED?
CBy DIR, L. w. BOWERS.)

The late S. Weir Mitchell, M. D..
in his book entitled "Wear and Tear"
has well said, ITO insure perfect
health, every tissue, bone, nerve, ten
don or muscle should take from the
blood certain materials and return to
it certain others This pro-
cess in perfect health is system of
mutual assurance and is probably
essential to condition Of entire vigor
of both mind and body"
Man is a millionaire many times
over in the possession of blood cells.
Woman is not quite so rich, for scien-
lists have proved that the normal
number of red blood cells in adult
men is five million; in women four and
one half million to the square MILL
meter.
The normal cell is not absolutely
round in health but in disease be-
comes extremely irregular in shape.
Every one can be in perfect health
and possess the millions of rich red
blood corpusc1es if he only knos how
to go about it. DR.. Pierce, of the Sur
gicaI Institute Buffalo, N. Y, advises
every man and woman to purify the
blood by observing natures laws. In
the first place, if your digestion is
faulty, and the food you eat is not
properly assimilated and taken up by
the blood, you need a tonic and di-
gestive corrector, something that w..4
increase the red blood corpuscles; he
believes in going about this in ma
lures own way. Years ago, in his act
i've practice, DR.. Pierce found that an
Alternative extract Of certain herbs and
roots put up without alcohol, or in
tablet form, would put the liver, lungs
and heart into more complete action.
This medicine he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. By pro-
noting assimilation it nourishes the
blood, and instead of the ill-shaped
corpuscles the persons blood takes on
a rich red color and the corpuscles are
more nearly round.
