That's what men are who plod along trying to do their business, when they feel half dead. Their eyes are dim and throb; their head aches; the children annoy them; their wives lose charms; they lose their ambition; they make mistakes in t heiraccounts, and the whole world looks blue; they hate themselves and everyone else. And why? If you feel so, why don't you stop and think a minute or are you stupid? Your liver and blood aro out of order; t hat's all. You need a good regulator and tonic. Taken bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery, and you will feel like a new man. In three days your wife will be the prettiest and sweetest woman in the world; your children's dispositions will be exactly like your own; your business w ill improve, and you will make money enough to pay for the "Golden Medical Discovery" a hundred times over. Don't bo stubborn, but try it. If you suffer from "cold in the head" or from Nasal Catarrh, use Dr. Sage's Catarrah Remedy. It cures when everything else fails. Bamnebville.
