There is n certain fearful fascination about the stories of the misers of the past The money they accumulated wns of no more practical value to them than the trinkets stolen and secreted by tome magpie or jackdaw. They hid rt from the sight and use of men and in silence and secret gloated over the useless wealth. To gathet it they lived on crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover them and fire to warm them, lived starved lives and in not a few cases died of starvation. That was the old-time miser. The modern miser resembles this man of the past in the particular that he frequently dies of btarvation. In his eagerness to gather money he pays small heed to the claims of health. He eats anything, anyhow, nnywhen, nnd auywhe're. He doesn't cat crusts by auv means nor spare his purse to fill his stomach. The mistake he makes is in thinking that when a man has filled his stomach, that is the end of the busi ness, of feeding. Instead of being the cud of feeding it's only the beginning. There is no value in food uuless it is '.Rested, converted into nu'iition and Siimllatcd. These proce.ws depend ipon the healthfulness of the stomach mil the other organs of digestion and nutrition When these organs are clis eased they cannot extract the nutrition from the food receiveel into the stomach aud the bodv becomes weak through lack of nourishment. One day this "weakness" begins to find a special de velopment in some chiei organ, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., to which the man succumbs. The doctor's certificate reads "heait disease," "kidney disease," as the case may be. Rut the real" reading of the certificate should be: .STARVED TO DEATH, The truth of this statement is appar ent. The body is sustained by food digestfd and assimilated. But the body is mad? up of its parts and organs, aud when the stomach is "weak," digestion imperfect, and the nutrition extracted front food inadequate to the needs of the boily, the. result is shared by every part and organ of the body, l'or this reason no man is stronger than ht3 stomach, and no organ -sustained by the stomach can be stronger than the stomach. Therefore when we hear of "weak" stomach we arc pretty sure we arc going to hear in time of " weak " heart, " weak" lungs, "weak" kidnevs, or weakness of some other organ of the body dependent on the ftomach aud its associated organs of digestion and nutrition. Notv these things bting true when a man has heart " trouble," liver " trouble," THE CELEBRATED GORDON PIANO GORDON" M Befoie buying, send for catalogue. H. S.

JKA yk v 1 r I rB7' rr-rir- MVN.1 -lalMaMi... I U I OYi aM cp, 60 PILLS 50 CTS. fJ kidney "trouble," etc., where is the first pi nee to look for the cause of the dis ease? Why, where else can it be but the stomach ? The most probable cause of these forms of "weakness" is defici ent ttutrition resulting from the " weak ' condition of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. And if these diseases of henrt, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., begin in the stomach they must be cured through the stomach. IT'S AN r.VKRY DAV AFFAIR to receive letters reporting the cure of diseased kidneys, weak heart, torpid liver, or lung "trouble " through the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis co, tty. But one may say, "'Golden Medical Discovery ' is a medicine for the stom ach and blood, in particular." Exactly so. And that is why it cures diseases remote from the stomach but which have their origin in disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery cures diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive I systems. The food taken I into the body is then con- sJ verted into nutrition 4VJ which is supplied to heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs which are made strong by nutrition. Disease is thrown off. New strength comes to every tissue nnd fiber of the body. "I suffered for four j ears with pain in my stomach so that at times I couldn't work nor eat," writes Mr. Frank Smith.of Granite, Chaffee CoColo. " I wrote to you about my sickness ana wns told to use vour medicine, which I dfd with good results. I only used four bottles of your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and must say that I am entirely cured, and feel like a new man, and I can highlv recom mend your medicine to any sufferer." "I was troubled wittt malarial fever of about three years' standing and was under doctors care for quite a time," writes Mr. J. I-. Kidd, of Parmleysville, Wayne County, Ky. "They had almost given me up, and my suffering was very great. My pulse was weak, breath short and I had severe paius in back, head and legs. Had palpitation of heart, and from June 1st, 1895, to May 1st, 1898, 1 was not able to do a day's work. I purchased five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and before I had finished taking the first two bottles I was very much better of my disease of three years' standing. I continued taking the medicine, and by the lime- the fifth bottle was gone I was a well man. I can cheerfully recom mend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery to any similar sufferer." "In iSe)S, one cf my daughters was suffering on account of a severe cough, hectic fever, wasting of flesh and other symptoms of diseaseu lungs," writes Rev. Joseph H. I'esperman, of Darium Springs, Iredell Co., N. C. " I promptly gave her Dr. U. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, with gratifying success, and she now enjoys excellent health. This ex perience caused me to recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who, without exception, used them with fa vorable results. This being true, I here by heartily endorse your medicines." SIMPLY GRAND. "Vour book, the 'People's Common Sense Medical Adviser,' is all that one could wish," writes Mrs. S. J. Simpson, of 151 South Fourth Street, San Jose, California, "and more than could be ex pected in one volume. It is simply grand, aud should be in every home." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, 1008 large pages, is sent tee, on receipt of stamps, to piy expense of mailing only, bend 31 one-cent stamps for the book in cloth-binding, or 21 stamps for it in paper-covers.
