THE SPRING DRIVE

Our boys are going "Over the top"
and into mo mans land" this spring.
No one has any doubt of their ability
to get there. There will also be a
spring drive on this side of the ocean,
because March is the years "blue Mon
day. 1t is the most fatal month Of the
year. March and April is a time when
resistance usually is at lowest ebb. 1t
Is a trying season for the rundown"
man. But medical science steps in, and
says, ''it need not be" We should cul-
tivate a love of health, a sense of re-
sponsibility for the care of our bodies.
Do not allow the machinery Of the body
to clog. Put the stomach and liver i'm
proper condition. Take DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, to be had at
most drug stores in tablet or liquid
form, tablets sixty-centS a vial, com
posed of native herbs. This puts the
stomach and liver in proper condition.
You may be plodding along no spring,
no elasticity, no vim, but as soon as you
have put the body into its normal physi-
cal condition-oiled the machinery, as
it were-you will find new vim, yigor
and vitality within you. A little "pep,"
and we laugh and live. Try it now.
Send DIR. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, 10c. for

the day. The prime necessity of life is
health. With spirit and energy you
have the power TO force yourself into
action. The Golden Medical Discovery
is the spring tonic which you need.
