Tho story carries us hack to feudal times nnd has been cleverly dono into vctse: "Klrg John and the Abbess Ana Walked in the garden one day When he cunningly sought to prove her And all of her nuns in gra." "Good Mother," said the klnjr. "You are shut In hero In solitude nnd peace. But tell mc. do tho waves of worldtl ness which break against tho high con vent wnll send no dash of spray above Its top7 Are there no dreams of love or ambition that creep past all your convent guards and nest In these maiden hearts?" "Just then, high over the garden There flew to the wide fire land A bird, and the Ahless Ana Followed Its flight vllh her hand." "Wo cannot hinder the passing Uf the wild winged o'crhead, Hut well we can keep It from building Its nest In the garden," the raid A wise woman was the Abbess Ana. No walls can shut the human heart away fiom thoughts which are born of Its very humanity. But no evil thought can dwell and breed in the human heart unless Its presence is tolerated and encouiaged. So much for the old world fctory. Now for THE NEW WOULD MORAL.. When the geim theory was first talked about people began to live In fear of these Inllnltesmal organisms, nnd the public was Immediately offered "germicides" and "germ destroying" medicines as a protection. But It has been shown that it is impossible to evade the germ. It Is everywhere; in tlie air, tho water, the soil. It Is In the fooel we eat, the books we read, the money with which wo buy and sell. "Bacteria exist everywhere," says a scientific writer, "except where the temperature Is above that of boiling water. But they are most abundant in rich, fertile soil, in stagnant or pol luted water, and In tho air of largo cities. The more dangcious, disease pi oducing species, such as those which cause cholera, typhoid fever, malaria, meningitis, etc., are chlelly spread by polluted water. Those species which cause scarlet fever, diphtheria, tuber culosis, erysipelas, etc., are botne on tho air and in Infected food material." "Bacteriology shows that the average grade of milk distributed to consumers In large cities often contains as high as eighty million germs to the cubic Inch." What escape Is there from the germ? Theie's no mountain top Inaccessible to It. A man "locked up In steel" would be unarmed against the geim. No walls, are high enough or thick enough to shut It out. We eat nnd drink and breathe, knowing to a certainty that we are taking Into the system germs of foul and fatal diseases. But Nature has safeguarded us from the germ by giving It no power over those who do not invite Its presence by physical weakness. We can't keep the geim out. We can keep It from making a breeding place of our bodies. How? By keeping up the physical strength: by keeping the blood pure nnd plenti ful. In a protracted epidemic of dis ease, nurses and doctors raiely fall victims until the epidemic Is near its close. Then, often, they are stricken. They have weakened themslves with work. Thy have had Insulllcient sleep. They have eaten Irregularly, Anxiety nnd excitement have Injuriously af fected the digestive and nutritive pio. cesses nnd collapse comes. It's the same in every ordinary case of disease as In the epidemic. The germ of tuberculosis may bo received a thousand times nnd cast out by the vigorous body. Some day when tho falluio of tho digestive and nutritive processes has lowered the vitality or tho body and Impoverished tho blood supply, the germ finds a weak spot and.bo to speak, "builds Its nest there." SOME PLiAIN FACTS. There arc thousandsand tens of thou sands of men and women who have been hi ought up fiom the lowest physi cal condition to the highest by Dr. Pierco's Golden Medical Discovery. From weak, miserable sufferers, emaci ated, coughing, with bleeding of the lungs even, they have been brought up to vigorous, healthy life, and they tes tlfy that they never knew what life was until now. What Is "Golden Medical Discovery?" It Is a medicine which cures dlseabes of tho stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. But what has a medicine for the stomach to do with diseased lungs, or heart, or liver? Answer that question by another. What has the stomach Itself to do with the lungs, the heart, the liver and all the other organs? Why it has to feed them, of course. And If they are not fed properly they weaken, and It's the weakened condi tion of nn organ which makes It possl be for the germ toflnd a lodgment In It. The stomach has everything to do with diseases of lungs, heart, liver or any other organ, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has every thing to do with cures of diseased lungs, diseased liver, diseased heart, diseased kidneys, etc., because-It cure thiough the stomach diseases which have their origin in a diseased condi tion of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. ON THE WITNESS STAND Every claim made for "Discovery" is capable of overwhelming proof. It Is never claimed for this medicine that It wilt do anything which It has not al ready done, thousands of times. "For over a year I was troubled with such a cough nnd a pain in my chest that I could not rest at night," writes Omcr J. Hennct, esq., of Franklin, St. Mary's Par., Ldi., care of Mr. J. W. Foster. "I thought I had consumption. I tried cough mixtures nnd other pat ent medicines, hut they did me no good nnd I was falling away all the time, until I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pel lets.' The first bottle made me feel better, so I took eight bottles, and now I feel like another man." There's a great deal of talk about "blood-piaklng medicines." No medi cine can make a drop ot blood, Ulood is made from food. Ulood Is the life fluid, but that life fluid depends on food for the olemont., vheiewith tho vigor and vitality of tlu body are sustained. For this reason "Golden Medical Dis covery" has a wonderful effect lu in creasing tho quantity and Improving tho quality of the blood, because it strengthens the digestion nnd increases the nutritive and nsslmllatlve powers. It is only a food is perfectly digested nnd properly nssltnllated that It can furntBh the elements needed by tho blood to build up the body. "Golden Medical Discovery" heals diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition which prevent the proper digestion and perfect assimilation of food. When the stOT.ach and digestive and nutiit Ive system is lestored to health, the natural result Is an Increased supply of rich, puie blood. Some jcmarkable cures of blood diseases have followed the use of tho "Discovery." "I feel it my duty to inform you of my wonderful cure from the use ot our medlcln?," writes Mis. E. II. Mc Laln, of cMeredosla, Moigan Co., III. "In 1581 a place about the size of a silver dime broke out on my i-calp and It kept sp'-eadln,? until It went all over my head. It pained a great deal and ran, and we tried a great many doctors and all kinds of patent medicine, but none did any good. So it went on until 1S90 and 1 was taken sick und lay about ten wf-eks. I was In a very weak condition and I wj.s recommend ed to try Doctor Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery. I took about six bot tles, I think. AboLt thiee bottles of medicine I took for my vveukness, not thinking ot it helping me In any other way, and I feel so thankful that I don't know how to express my thanks for the cure of my head. "I nm now In my 6Sth year and am very strong " Dr. Pierce's theory is that disease of the stomach and allied organs of diges tion, and nutrition. Is the fruitful cause of diseases of heait, lungs, liver and kldr.eis, and tr.ebo diseases orig inating in the jtomach ait cured through th f-toinach by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." The pi oof of the soundness of this theoty lies In the variety and irultlpllclty of th2 cures of "Golden Medical Discovery," and tho fact that the whole physical tone Is at once elevated by Its healing and strengthening power. "Your medicines have done so much for me that I cannot thank you enough for advice and kindness Miovvn me," writes Mis. Warren E. Parker, of Or ange fetrcet, Nantt-cket, Mass. "Three j pars ago 1 was taken sick with what the doctor called nervousness and In digestion. He gave me medicine for the tioublo, but I could not even eat a little toast or oatmeal without suf fering severely. I felt hungry but hardly dared eat anything. In a few months I beran to hav. distiesslng spells light in tho pit of my stomach. After the distress passed away it would leave my stomaoh so soie that I was obliged to lie In bed fct-veial days. I called the doctor i.g.iln nnd ho said I had Catas ill of Stomach; gave m- medicine but It did not do any good. I lost "S pounda in three months. At Innt I w so bad that I thought I was beyond help. Ono of my fi lends loaned me Di. Pieice's Common Sense Medical Adviser to lead, and when I lead that many people had been cured by his medicines I made up my mind to write to him, iiltluush I vvas so bad I didn't think theie vvas any help for me. I wiote and stated my case nnd received a prompt reply. He told me I had In digestion, associated with n torpid Hv ci, and he advised me to take his 'Gol den Medical Discovery,' nnd ulso his 'Pellets.' If constipated. I commenced taking his medicines Immediately, and hoon began to feel better. I have tak en Silx bottles of 'Golden Yedlc.il DU coveiy,' t'o of Favorite Piescrlptlon,' and six vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets. I have gained ten younds. Am able to do all my vvoik, und have not had a dlstifsslnc spell for flvii months. Can eat eveiythlnT. I cai not express thanks for the good the medicines havo done me."
