A Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases
BY VALENTINE MOTT, NJ. D.

It is almost impossible to give list OF
the endless diseases that follow Indigestion.
Perhaps whole column in this newspa-
per would be required to print them all
You eat to keep allve-to supply blood and
flesh and bone and muscle and brain. 1t
is easy to see that if your food is not dl.
gested and taken up by the delicate or
cans and distributed where it is needed, .
disease of some sort is sure to come. Dye
pepsia is common symptom, and so are
liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite Many times, when neglected, in
digestion results in coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
GUS things. And all these disorders arise
because the food is not properly digested
in the stomach It is plain even to
child that relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up healthy condition in
the stomach. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, many years ago combined a number
of vegetable growths into temperance
remedy for indigestion, and called it
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is probably
the most eficacious discovery ever made
in medicine for the list of people all over
the world who have had their countless ills
overcome By Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes an amazing total Of thou
sands.
| know of no advice better than this:
Begin a home treatment today with this
good vegetable medicine. It will show
you letter than | can tell you what it will
do. When taking Golden Medical Dis
covery, you can rest assured of one very
important thing-it contains neither alco-
ho nor opiates There is nothing in it
but standard roots and herbs that possess
curative properties of a high order. A
safe medicine is the only kind you can
afford to take.

the men of the I'd Division of the

seventy thousand American boys who
also are clamoring to return to their
homes l have told those sailor boys
they would get home, but that first
they must help get back to the
United States the boys who fought
in France and Belgium"
Mr.. Daniels contrasted today's as
semblage with that Of the Germans
who stood on the same ground in
1914 before beginning the war.
Their Chiefs" he said, had visions
of conquering the world, but America
entered the war without desire for
territorial gains"
The Secretary's reference to the SOL
diers return home was answered
with cheers and shouts Of How
soon?" were heard. When asked for
the dates when the men would be
taken back to America the Secretary
smiled but did not answer.
This morning during the review of

Crown was conferred on Capt. Gaines

After the review he addressed the
entire division, telling the soldiers
of the appreciation felt by all Amer
ica for what the Army had done for
the cause of liberty. and of the well
come which awaits them when they
return home. The Secretary's last
words were:
Good bye. boys. 1 hope to see you
, all in America-and soon"
This brought cheers from $4,000
throats, officers and men alike join
ing in the demonstratiop.
Following the review Secretary and
Mrs. Daniels were given a ride across
the fields to the speakers stand on a
caterpillar tractor.
Mr.. Daniels and his party will be

object to Taft. particularly if he
seemed to be the spontaneous choice
of the majority of elements of the re-
