Is there nny relation to be traced between the iirevulenco of "stomach trouble" und the prevalence of sulcldo "while In a despondent state ot mind?" That Is a question which only an ob servont person would ask, but, being asked, It suggests a very lmportnnt field of Inquiry. Every dyspeptic knows what It Is to feel that dull oloud of despondency set tle down on the mind ns.a fog settles down cm tho sea or wraps Itself about the mountnln climber. The blue Is wiped out of the sky, tho grcn fades from the grass, the sun 1b blotted from tho heavens. There Is a sense of fear and dread of Impending danger. Forms seen through this fog ot the mind aro magnified und distorted, looming largo and threatening Uko spectre of the Brocketi. It's a miserable feeling; miserable for the sufferer, miserable for his friends and for his family. Does that condition ot depression ever come to a man or woman without causing tho cry in the secret heart, I WOULD THAT I WERE DEAD?" And If the condition becomes more frequent, tho rifts in the fog more rare, does not the thought of self-destruction haunt the depressed mind? Like some evil peeping face which flattens itself against the window nnd wntches us as wo eat, like evil eyes that burn through the dnrkness of the sleepless hours and hold the gaze in terrified fascination, so tlrtu thought of self-destruction haunts the despondent mind nnd, like the ghost of Bnnquo, "will not down." These nre fucts. They aro common facts. Is It any wonder thnt some day In such a fog of mind, haunted and hounded by this one thought of escape from a life ot misery, tho man sends a bullet Into the aching heart und stills It? lie may bo ilch, his family may adore him. his friends may be legion. But through the fog of this depression he sees poverty stalking him. His "foes are those of his own household," he thinks, und those who call him friends nre plotting his ruin. SUICIDAL DESPONDENCY Is u common icsult of a dlsensed con dition of tlie stomach and organs of digestion nnd nutrition from which the dyspeptic suffers. Thero is a relation to bo traced between suicide from de spondency and the despondent condi tion of the ml ml so common to tho victim of "stomach trouble" in some of its forms. In the large correspond ence of Dr. B. V. Pierce, chief con sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel nnd Surgical Institute, Buffalo, . V., the feature of mental suffering Is al ways prominent in the letters of those who are seeking a cure from diseases which affect the digestive and nutri tive system. This will be noted In tho letter which follows. '"I was mulcted with what the doc tors called nervous Indigestion. Took medicine from my family physician to no avail. In looking over one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Rooks." writes Mr. Thomas G. Lever, of Lever. Rich mond Co., S. (.'., "I found my ease described exactly. I wrote to you and made a staement. You sent me a de scriptive list of questions, also hy gienic rules. I carried them out as best I could, but I thought niyrelf In curable, as 1 suffered so much from pain under my ilbs nnd an empty fuel ing In my stomach. At night would have cold or hot feet and hands alter nately. I was getting very nervous and suffered a grent deal mentally, thinking that death would soon claim me. Always expected something un usual to take place; wus Irrltnblo and impatient, and greatly reduced In flesh1. 1 could scarcely cut anything that would nut produce n bad feeling In my stomach. After name hesitation, owing to my prejudices ugalitM patent medicines, I decided to lr a few bot tles or Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery am! 'Pellets.' After taking .several bottles of each, found I was Improving. 1 continued for six months or more, off and on. I hive to be caie ful yet, at times, of what l cat. In or der that I may feel good and strong. I fully believe If nny one suffering with indigestion, or torpid ller, or chronic cold would take Dr. Pierce.'s Golden Medical Discovery und 'Pleasant Pel lets' and observo a few simple hy gienic rules they would soon be greatly benefited, and with a llttlo persever ance would be entlrly cured." IT DOES NOT SURPRISE. US to see some Implement made by man do the work it was made to do. We'd be surprised If It failed. Once In 1 while some ambitious Daiiu Green In vents a flying machine thut will not fly. Once In n while somo Kouly mo tor r"fuses to "mote" to any practical purpose. Bui for the most nart the thing': contrived and Invented by man do Just what 'they were inado to do; tho saw eats Into tho resinous log, tho rudder stcois the battleship, tho fuse explodes the charge which topplea down tons on tons of ore. 'Why should It bo nny wonder then, that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nu trition? It was made to euro Just these disease's und tho wonder would be if It failed to cure. It Is not a cum uli. It often cuies "liver trouble." "heart trouble," "head trouble," nnd many another 111 that troubles tho hu man body. Hut It cures these forms of disease remote from the stomach because they really root1 In the stom ach, When the stomach Is cured the heart, liver, lungs, brnln and nerves, whichever organ may be affected by the stomach Is cured through th stmnucli. "Your kindness to me I can never forget," writes Mrs. Josle E, Clark, of Enterprise, Shelby Co., Mo. "I enn not express half my feelings of grat fulness to you. I hnd despaired of oven getting well. 1 had been In bnd health for twelve vears. Hnd aches nil through me, numb hands, cola feet, and everything I ato distressed me; bowels constipated, wns very nervous, depressed nnd despondent. In fact, I can't express half my bad reelings to you. When I first wrote to you I thought I could never be cured. . I have taken nix bottles of Dr. Plorce's Golden Mtocllenl Dlrcovery, nnd my health Is now good. You have my hon est recomeiundation to all sufferers. I think there Is no medicine In tho world ) us good ns Dr. Pierce's." IT'S NO EXPERIMENT to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery for the euro of diseases ot this stomach and olhvr diseases originating in a diseased stomach. The cure fol lows almost us an arithmetical cor tnlnty. It's nlmost as sure that "Got- den Medical Discovery" will cure na that two nnd two make four. We say almost as sure, because ns a matter of record two people In every hundred do fall of a perfect cure. Hut the ninety-eight people In that hundred who use "Golden Medical Discovery" fairly and faithfully are perfectly and permanently cured. Tho record of cures made bv Dr. Pierce's Golden Medlcul Discovery covers a period1 of more than thirty years and the' treatment and cure of more than half a million people. It Is a notable feature of these cures that In a laro proportion of cases they were effected In men and women whom the doctors had failed to help, and In many cases abandoned to their fate. It Is at this point that many tnke advan tage of Dr. Pierce's offer of a free con sultation by letter. Thousands of peo ple who have not the courage to try the "Discovery" wrlto to Dr. Pleice and, encouraged by his reply, revealing at once his understanding of the dis ease and his sympathy with the suffer er, they begin to take tho first step toward health. Sick people are Invited to consult Dr. Pierce absolutely without fee or charge. All correspondence treated as strictly private and sacredly confiden tial. Address Dr. It. V. Pierce, Buf falo, N. Y. It s to bo kept in mind that the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., ranks both In Its appli ances and Its staff with the best of modern medical Institutions. As Its chief consulting physlcan, Dr. 'Pierce has :athered around him a staff of nearly a score of assistant specialists every man a physician of standing and acknowledged skill. There Is ns fai ls known, no similar institution behind any other "put-up' medicine offered to the public. It Is certain that thrfre Is no similar offer of free medical ndvice which has behind It 11 skill and expe rience equal to that of Dr. Pierce and his staff, or it record of success equal to that achieved by Dr. Pierce In more than thirty years of practice. A TEMPERANCE MEDICINE. The fact Is especially underscored thut "Golden Medical Discovery" Is ab solutely and altogether a temperance medicine In the most extreme meaning of the term temperance. It Is as free from opium, cocaine and all other nnr cotb's ns It Is from whisky and alo hol In every form. In view of flic- fact that fulse formulas of this medicine have of lute 'been published, and Ignor ant persons have been led by those false formulas to doubt the truth of our olnlm thut "Golden Medical Discovery" Is a non-alcoholic and non-narcotle medicine, WE WILL GIVE $1,000.00 for each nnd every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which shows a truce of alcohol or nnrcotlcs In lis analysis. We commend this offer t.i the tempernnco people of the country. The cures made by the "Discovery'' aro a matter of record. We propose that the non-alcoholic properties of the "Discovery" shall bo a matter of record also. Thero is no substitute for "Golden Medical Discover . " Let no mercenarv merchant Impose on you with a reined v which will pay him better but which will not euro you. GIVEN AWAY.
