"I send jou a few lines to let you

me," writes Mrs. Mattie Hendrick, of
Madisonville, Texas. "I was spitting up
blood and my lungs hurt me. I spit up
a great deal of phlegm and my heart
bothered me all of the time; was not
able to do anything at all and what I
ate hurt me. I would feel at times as

I went to ourfamilv doctor for ndice.
He said cod lier oil was all I needed,
but nothing would cure me. I hail
taken a great deal.of it and tt did me no
good, so I said I would take Dr. Pierce's

result that I was cured."
Doctor Pierce's Golden

I took about six bottles I think. About
three bottles of medicine I took. for my

thanks for the cure of my head. I have
often thought that I would write to you

FOREST CITY.
Special to the Scranton Tilbune.
Potest City, Peb. 20. The Jesuits of
Sf raw
NO strong man ever had a "weak" stomach. Strengtli comes
from food properly digested and perfectly assimilated. When
the stomach is "weak" food is imperfectly digested, and the
nutriment provided for the body is insufficient to supply the daily losses
of the body by the waste and -wear of its tissues. Hence, as the stom
ach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition grow weaker, there is
a daily overdraft charged up against the health account of the body.
The saying that "The way to a man's heart is through his
stomach" has a j-cientific application. Not only the way to a man's
heart, but to his lungs, liver, kidneys, and every other organ, is
tlnough his stomach. All physical life is sustained by food. But food
sustains life only when it is chemically changed in the digestive pro
cesses so that it furnishes an assimilable aliment for the body. Coal
warms us only by combustiou. Food feeds us only by digestion. It
would be as reasonable to fill the pockets with coa! and expect to be
warmed by it without combustion, as it is to fill the stomach with food
and expect to get strong by it, without digestion.
Blood, the vital fluid, depends for its vitality on food. Heart,
lungs, liver, kidneys, nerves, all depend on the purity and richness of
6M T7"
HI
MnLo r?S
sQIxy CtSx-?i V v mmmAWA.
One of the first signs of failing health is loss of appetite. The
first thing that "Goldcu Medical Discovery" does is to restore the nor
mal appetite for food. But it would be of no use to do this unless it
did more. Usually when the stomach ceases to crave food it is because
there is an inadequate secretion of the digestive juices. To force food
on the stomach in that condition is only to clog it. It can't convert
the food into nuti uncut. It is essential, therefore, that with the re
stored appetite "Golden Medical Discovery" should restore the diges
tive and assimilatne powers. That is just what it does. It stimulates
the How of the digesf've juices, increases the activity of the blood
making glands. clear.si.s the clogged channels, and enables the renewed
organs to pour a flood of pure, bright blood through every vein and
artery of the body. That is perfect health.
Fix the fact firmly in tlie mind that food properly digested and
perfectly assimilated is the onlv known source of vital strength and
vigor, and there will be no difficulty iu understanding why the cures
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery include among other
maladies the cure of "weak lungs."
One of the prominent signs of consumption is emaciation. In
deed, the very name "consumption " means a consuming of tisues.
But the tissues of the body are being consumed every hour of every
day without detriment to health. What is there in this other con
sumption which makes it so fatal ? There is this : In health the tissues
consumed daily are built up again by food. In disease the tissues con
sumed are not built up again by food. Hence, the emaciation of con
sumption. What's to be done? Use fish oils and invalid foods ? But
these are foods too. They recognize that if strength comes back to the
weak lungs it must be by food, but they ignore the fact that the
"weak" stomach must be strong before it can digest the food which
is to give strength to "weak lungs." This treatment attempts to bring
the character of the food down to the level of the weak stomach.
"Golden Medical Discovery" brings the strength of the stomach
up to the food. It puts the stomach and allied organs of digestion and
nutrition in the condition which permits the building of the body and
the nourishment of its organs in the only way known to Nature or to
science by jfbod, properly digested and perfectly assimilated ; food
the life-sustaining properties of which, taken up by the blood, are dis
tributed to every vital organ according to its need.

the blood-supply tor their health.
And the blood-supply depends
upon the health and activity of
the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition.
The cures of diseases of heart,
lungs, liver, kidneys, nerves,
etc., by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, are
all attributable to thi one fact ;
it is a medicine which cures dis
eases of the stomach, and organs
of digestion and nutrition per
fectly and permanently. It is
not a " cure-all." It cures many
forms of disease because many
forms of disease have their ori
gin in weakness or disease of
the stomach. It cures diseases
which seem remote from the
stomach because diseases which
have their origin in the stomach
are cured
through the
stomach.
