At almost every station on the railroads you will see men shattered and wrecked for life, men who must face the future hor- ribly mutilated, and yet they ac- cept their fate without a murmur of complaint or bitterness. It is the same in England, in France and, I suppose, in R , that all soldiers are bearing their sulferings with the greatest of fortitude. The best aid these men have is within themselves. The human body will best resist infection from bullets when it is healthy, strong, active and working. The best aid to this con- dition is a vegetable tonic and altera- tive that ‘will first put the stomach and blood right, for these are depen- dent on one another. Good stomach means good blood, and likewise good blood means good stomach. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery helps the stomach to do its work naturally and properly, stimu- lates the liver. The system is freed from poisons. The blood is purified. Every organ is rejuvenated. This ““Medical Discovery” of Dr. Pierce, is free from aleohol or narcoties. It is made from the roots and barks of American forest plants with triple refined glycerine, and is the -best blood purifier, because it banishes from the blood all poison and im- pure matter. posits and carries them out, as it does all impurities through the bow- els, kidneys and skin. If you have indigestion, sluggish liver, catarrh, unsteady nerves, or a pimple skin, get Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery today and start at once to re- place your impure blood with the kind that puts energy and ambition into you and brings back youth and vigor.—Adv. Cause of Sleeplessness. Sleeplessness often resulis from a disordered stomach. Correct that and you can sleep as well as ever. Mrs. Mae Ingersoll, Pulaski, N. Y., was troubled with indigestion and headache. “I was so restless at night,” she says, “that I could not. sleep.
