It Has Certain Advantages Over The Milder Moral Method. Moral suasion, the appeal to the ra tional nature of man, is doubtless a very good thing. But it will not compare with immoral suasion for inducing swift ness of thought or promptness of action. The burelar surprised in his raid and requested to "please go away" will argue the case in the forceful burglar way. But when a pistol is pushed in his face with the laconic order, "Get! " —he goes and stands not on the order of his going. The pistol, with its six solid arguments, is a wonderful persuader, and in the line of immoral suasion cannot be surpassed. It is a reflection on man s reason that he often refuses to do what common sense dictates, until he is forced to do it. Common sense tells a man that he cannot live irregularly and keep his health He is warned and admonished time and again that hasty eating and irregular meals result in disetses of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. But because Nature does not directly threaten his life as the pistol does he goes right along until he is obliged to reform because disease forces him to do so. UNHEEDED WARNINGS. It is only when all her warnings have been unheeded that Nature no longer savs " You should not" but " You shah not." This is practically what happens when the lover of high living has to give up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments and come down to a diet of oatmeal or tea and toast. There are thousands of dyspeptics whose condition shuts them out from all thi pleasures of the table. There are thousands of others who are on the high road to a like condition, unheeding the warnings of the protesting stomach. The great fact is that every man and woman who suffers from dyspepsia can be almost certainly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures, j Only two people in every hundred who give "Golden Medical Discovery " a fair and faithful trial fail of a perfect and permanent cure. "I have been thinking of writing to you for some time," writes Mrs. W. D. Benson, of Maxton, Robeson Co., N. C., "to let you know what a wonderful thing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery did for my little boy. He was taken with indigestion when he was a year and a Jjalf old, and he was under the doctor's treatment for five long years. We spent all we made for doctor bills, and it did no good. _ % When he ■would take a spell of indigestion he would lie for ten and fifteen days, and it seemed as though he would die. He had these spells every two or three weeks. He could not eat anything only a little milk and cracker, and sometimes even this would make him sick. H$ could not eat any meat or vegetables and he got very weak; could not sit up all day, and I gave np all hope of his ever getting any better. Three years ago I found one of your books, and on looking it over one day I noticed Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec omended for indigestion. We bought some and gave it to our boy. He had been treated at Hood's Creek by a good doctor, and at Bennettsville, S. C., and at Currie, and Lumberton and Maxton, and was only relieved for a short time. We gave him two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovers and it cured him. He IB well as can be and can e?t anything that he wants and it does not hurt him. He has not been 6ick a day since and it has been three years since he took i your medicine. I caq safely say that he is well." WHERE Wltl. IT END? No one can 6ay where the results of disease of the stomach and its allied organs will end. The stomach is the source of supply for each organ of the body. Whatever af fects the stomach to re duce its strength and its ability to provide nutri* tion for the dependent organs will also anect the organs themselves. Heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, all must share the " weak ness " of the 6tomach. When diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, diseases of other organs originating in stomach " weakness " and innutrition are cured at the same time. «I sent you a letter about a year ago," writes Mrs. J. Ellis Hamilton, of Farm ington, Marion Co., West Va. "I stated my case as plainly as I could, and re ceived a letter from you in a few days, telling me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Favorite Pre scription ' —a bottle of each. I used three of each, and feel like a new woman. Don't suffer any pain ot misery any more. Before using yonr medicines I suffered all the time—had jaundice, caused from food not digesting properly. I would have sick headache three and four times a week, aud jaun dice every four or five weeks. Could not do the work myself. I commenced using your medicines as recommended for liver complaint, and I am cured. I doctored three years without relief, only for a short time, and then I was as bad as ever. Haven't had sick headache since I took the first bottle of medicine." There is no alcohol in " Golden Medical Discovery," and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics, A FCU, TABLE The table of contents, of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, offers a wide range for the thoughtful or the curious reader.
