FATAL IGNORANCE.
People Who "Didn't Know."
How Lives Arc Sacrificed.
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."

"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.

cal advice made by mnn or woma.n
