Will do much to develop a muscular
body. But the strength of the body is
not to be measured by its muscle, but by
its blood. If the blood is impure, the
body, in spite of its bulk ntid bruwn, falls
nn easy prey to dis
ease. There is no medi
cine equal to Doctor
Tierce's Golden Med
i c a 1 Discovery for
the purifying of the
blood. It carries off
the poisons which
contaminate the life
fluid. It increases
the activity of the
blood-makine glands
and pves the body
nil increased supply
of pure, body-building
blood. It builds
up the body with
sound, healthy flesh
instead of flabby fst,
promotes the appe
tite, feeds the nerves,
and so gives to weak,
nervous people vital
ity and vigor.

Ag'iinaldo's address to the Filipiuo peo

"1 believe I niu not in error in presum

Absolutely essential to the welfare of the

"The I-'ilipinns have never la-en dismay

Impelled by an irresistible force which,
while it restrains them, yet enlightens
their minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the cause of
peace. This cause has been joyfully em
braced by the majority of my fellow
countrymen, who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner of
the I'nited States. In this banner they
repose their trust and believe that under
its protection the Filipino people will at
tain alt those promised liberties which
they are now beginning to enjoy. The
country has declared unmistakably in fa

enough blood, enough tears and enough
desolation. This wish cannot be ignor

animated by a desire to serve our noble

its will. So do I respect this will now
that it is known to me,
"After mature delilieration 1 resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot re
fuse to heed the voice of a people longing
for peace nor the lamentations of thou
