KING JOHN AND THE ABBESS
AN OLD WORLD STORY WITH A
NEW WORLD MORAL.
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."
If you arc sick do not consider your
casa ns hopeless until ynu have given
Dr. Pierco's Golden Medical Discovery
u fair and faithful trial. It has cured
bo mun ceses which havo baflled phys
icians. It has cmed so often when tho
cure seemed Impossible. It has cured
tens of thousands of hopeless, helpless
people. Why should It not euro you?

cal B'scoveiy" und It Is entirely free
from opium, rocoalne and all other
narcotics.
