This household tragedy is so familiar. The husband takes n revolver from tho drawer, and Is going to clean It. In a mood of playfulness ho points tho pis tol nt his wife nnd pulls the trigger. A Hash, a report, a scream of death agony, and another item for the news paper headed "Ho didn't know it was loaded." There seems to bo no possi ble excuse for such folly. The only excuse kindness can suggest Is that al though ho didn't know, yet ho thought ho know. It Is one of tho sad facts of life that Ignorance can work so much evil; that simple stupidity can ruin homes, destroy characters, break hearts, nnd even take human life Itself, We live at all times exposed to tho danger of ignorance which becomes the more dangerous as It occupies positions Involving responsibility. When the drug clerk carelessly sells a poison for a harmless powder, he may say he "didn't know he'd taken up the wrong bottle," but what a. fatal confession that "didn't know" is for ono who is In charge of Hfe-glvlng and death dealing drugs. THE PERIL OF IGNORANCE is one to which nil are exposed In a greater or less degree, and those most of all who live In the country remote from the centers whose opportunities and rewards draw to them tho knowl edge and skill of the times. How many a person dies in country places from medical ignorance. Scattered up and down the country one may llnd doctors of brilliant minds and splendid skill. They love their profession, throw heart and soul into It and success Is more to them than fee or fame. But they are the rare exceptions. Ordinarily the person living in the country must rely on the care of one who has fallen far behind tho knowledge of his times, or some lledgllng graduate who must gain his knowledge at his patient's expense. The truth of these statements is evi dent at once to ono who looks over the dolly correspondence of Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. From all over tho coun try come letters from men and women who have taken advantage of his offer of free consultation by letter, seeking advice and help. In these letters the frequency of the statements "doctors failed to help me," "doctors afforded me no help." doctors gave me up," are sufficient evidence of the lack of knowl edge nnd skill upon which these pati ents had to depend for health and even for life. Diseases may be the same in variably, having the same origin and the same results, but people differ. The question is, not only, does tho doctor understand the disease, but DOES HE UNDERSTAND YOU? You are perhaps a little more delicately organl7ed, your temperament is differ ent from the average person, and you need different treatment. It Is In tho perfect adaption of tho treatment of chronic diseases to the individual idio syncrasy that Dr. Pierce owes much of lils success. For more than thirty years as chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel nnd Surgical Insti tute, of Buffalo, N. Y., he has devoted his time and skill to the treatment and cure of chronic diseases. Around him ho has gathered a staff of nearly a score of medical specialists, whose skill can be Inferred from the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all who have received Dr. Pierce's treatment have been perfectly and permanently cured. This Is a remarkable record when it Is remembered that the patients treated number hundreds of thousands. It Is a common experience to find thnt peo ple have for years been treated for tho wrong disease, naturally without the slightest benetlt and having nothing to fhow for hundreds of dollars paid out in fees. Such people aro of course as tonished when after asking Dr. Pierce's advice they are recommended to try Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, which is purely a mediclno for the blood, stomach nnd organs of di gestion and nutrition. "Why," they may say, "the trouble has been with my heart," or "my lungs aro weak," or "my liver and kidneys aro what need help, not my stomach." Yet after tak ing the medicine proscribed these pco pie write invailably, that the heart "trouble" or lung "weakness" or dis ease of kidneys or liver has entirely disappeared and all are talking of tho wonderful cure. These are tho bare facts of tho case: tho plain unvarnished tale, supported by thousands and thousands of wit nesses, 'lake the oaso of Mrs. N. Uernler thy way of example), who lives nt 4-11 Elm street, Oshkosh, Wis. She had been treated without success by "seven of our prominent doctors," before sho came to Dr. Pierce. Read tho result: "I have received more benefit from your medicine than anything I have taken. I had liver complaint for tho past fifteen years, complicated with dyspepsia and gall stones, I have doc tored with soven'of our prominent doc tors and not ono or all of them have done mo the good, nor began to do what your medicines have. I have used three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Gol den Medical Discovery, ono vinl of his 'Pleasant Pellets,' and one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Fnvorlto Prescription, and have gained about eighteen pounds since I first began to tako these reme dies. Can say truthfully that your medicine Is tho best I over found for liver complaint and dyscpsla. You aro at liberty to publish tills lor tho benefit of suffering people, nnd I hope nnd pray God to bless you in your noblo work." But why Is it that "Golden Medical Discovery" will do what doctors failed in doing? Thnt is a natural question nnd should receive a plain nnd prac tical answer. Nineteen times out of twenty In Dr. Pierce's wide and long experience of disease, he found that diseases whose symptoms Involved or gans renioto from the stomach, were at the same time solely and wholly duo to the condition of tho stomach. Se vere headaches, dizziness, palpitation of the heart, Intermittent pulse, back ache, side ache, trembling limbs, cold hands and feet, "liver trouble," aro only some of the necessary results of a diseased stomach Involving the other orgnns of digestion and nutrition. Tha proof of thlH statement Is that these ailments disappear entirely and alto gether when the stomach has been re stored to health by the use of "Gol den Medlcul Discovery." It is no use to treat the heart or thhead, the lungs or the liver, for a disease which originating In the stomach is being fed from the stomach through the blood, with every pulse beat. It's easy to understand this. Suppose a pure stream flowing through a fair farm land and providing tho drinking sup ply of tho farmer and his family. Some day the water is found to bo foul. Going up the strenm ono of the boya llnds a hog dead In the brook. Is It any use to attempt to purity that water, to heal It or eloanso It, while that corruption remains in the stream? Not a bit of it. But tako that car rion out of the stream and the water does not need any healing or cleaning. It heals itself. The cause of the foul ness Is removed, and tho effect disap pears. When it is diseased THE STOM-ACH IS A SEPULCHRE full of uncleanness. What makes the head dizzy? Tho foul gases generated from the decaying and putrescent mat ter in that sepulchre of the stomach where food Is merely burled. What hurts tho heart, the lungs, the liver? The poisons which are being developed from the foul food which the organs of digestion and nutrition cannot convert into nourishment. These poisons are mixed with the blood which is made In the stomach and their Influences is felt first and most in the weaker organs. Put the stomach and its allied organs into proper condition, the food which is eaten is properly prepared In the stomach, perfectly distributed to the several organs and the result Is natural health. Mrs. A. Flackus. of Dairy, Klamath county, Oregon, writes: "With pleas ure I write to you to let you know the great benefit I have received from your medicines and self-treatment at home. When you kindly advised me to take your 'Golden Medical Discov ery' for my trouble, I followed your ad vice as closely as I could and received great benefits. For over a year I suf fered with pains In htomaeh, constipa tion and Indigestion. I had no appe tite at all, and could not sleep. So It went on for months, till one day all at once I got dizzy, my heart seemed to beat as fast as It could, and I felt like fainting all tho time. My heart beat 120 or 125 times In one minute. Wt went to tins doctor; he gavo me medicine, but It did not make my trouble any better. I thought I had to die; every night when I went to bed I feared I would not be allvo In tho morning. So I wrote to Dr. Pierce and ho gavo mo his advice. I bought six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and four vials of 'Pleasant Pellets.' At drat I thought the medi cine did mo no good, but I kept on tak ing the medicines us you advised, and when I hnd taken live bottles of tho medicine I was so well that It seemed I did not need any more, but still I took the sixth bottle. I can say I was then perfectly well. Tho headaches, pains In stomach, heart trouble and all left me. I have had a good appetite ever since and can sleep well and do all my work." Men and women suffering from chronic diseases aro Invited to consult Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y by letter, absolutely without charge or fee. State your case clearly and plainly and you will receive a prompt reply, giv ing the best medical advice and hy gienic counsel. Your letter will bo treated as a strictly private communi cation, and tho answer will bo sunt lu n plain envelope bearing on it no printing whatever. "Free medical advice" Is one of tho favorite offers of certain advertisers who cannot give what they offer, be cause medical advice cannot bo given without medical knowledge and train ing and these people have neither. "Write to u woman" Is tho phraso sometimes used by those who offer medical advice. But a woman can't give medical advice simply "because she Is a woman," and unqualified "medical" advice Is just as dangerous from a woman as from n man. There is no other offer of free medi cal advice made by mnn or woma.n that has behind It n physician of Dr, Pierce's acknowledged eminence, n. medical institution which is n. national Institution, as Is tha Invalid's Hotel and Surgical Institute, and a group of nearly a score of specialists associated with tho chief consulting physician 'of tho institution, Dr. R. V. Pierce., Tho offer made by Dr. Plerco places tho best medical rklll of the country at the public service, free. There Is no alcohol, whiskey or any other Intoxicant contained in "Golden Medical Discovery" and it Is entirely free from opium, cocalno and other narcotics. $25,000 GIVEN AWAY.
