Foes
are weeds. Unles4
they nre kept down,
they divert the nu
trition which the
soil provides from
the growing crops and ruin their pro
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri
tion which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out a sickly existence.
When I1, stomach is diseased, and the
other i,..,.uis of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The stom
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements of
vitality. What is known as "weak"
heart or "weak" lungs," " weak " nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by "weak" stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the otlier diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by a diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. It cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,
lungs, liver and other organs. It in
creases the activity of the blood-making
glands, so that the whole body is nour
ished by an abundant supply of pure
blood, rich in the bright red corpuscles
of health.
There is no alcohol in " Golden Med
ical Discovery" and it contains neither
opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic.
It is strictly a temperance medicine.
Persons suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter free. All correspondence
strictly private. Address Dr. R.V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y.
Suffered for Years
Mv gratitude to you and your ' Golden Med
ical Discovery' ia so great, writes Mr. Ross
Martin, of Arlee, Mason Co., West Virginia, "that
I am at a loss to find wordit to express my true
feeling. I had suffered for a number of years
with lung and throat troubles, and doctored with
specialists, but got no better. Then I decided
to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical THscovery,
and after using it 1 was greatly relieved. 1 have
all faith that it has saved my life.
I have one of your medical books and think
It a grand work."
Torpid Liver Cured.
I waa a sufferer from torpid liver for over i
year," writes Mrs. Nora Willis, of Wheatfield,
Jasper Co., Ind., rand could not sleep, nor eat
but very little, and then it would cause me great
distress. I tried several doctors but got no re
lief. Was advised by a friend to write to Dr.
Pierce, which 1 did, and in a few days I received
a letter advising me to take his ' Golden Med
ical Discovery' and also his 'Pleasant Pellets.'
After I had taken only half a lxttle 1 was greatly
Improved. 1 only took three bottles of the
1 Golden Medical Discovery ' and two vials of the
'Pellets,' and, thanks to Dr. Pierce and hi
wonderful medicine. I am as well as ever in my
life, and feel that life is worth living after all.
" Last winter I took a severe cold which re
sulted in pleurisy. Tongue can not tell what 1
uttered. For two nights and two days I could
not more without it nearly killed nie. I told
mv husband I could not endure another night of
tillering. The weather was so cold and stormy
that it was almost too bad for any one to go six
mile to town, but he went, and got bottle ol
Dr. Pierce's Extract of Smart -Weed, which gave
me Instant relief. I can say that for all pains
that I have tried it for it ha worked like magic.
We keep a bottle of the 'Smart -Weed ' in the
bouse all the time. I cannot thank Dr. Pierce
enough for what he has done for me-"
Constipation has almost countless con
sequences. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
cure constipation and cure its conse
quences. They should always be used
with "Golden Medical Discovery," when
the use of a laxative is indicated.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let It stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if It stains
your linen tt Is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain In
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There Is "comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain In passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp. Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.

An Astonishing
"My home is in Sidney, Ohio. I have boen nearer death with consumption
than any other living person in the wr-rld. and I want you to read this, so you
can tell others. I took a severe cold and neglected it, 1 grew worse all tha
time, and at the end of
two years I had run into
consumption. I coughed
terribly, lost flesh, could
not sleep, and became so
dreadfully weak that I
had to take to bed. In
the following e'ght en
months I grad 3 y
reached the last stage's
of consumption. No less
than seven physicians
treated me and all gave
me tip saying I was in
curable. I was absolutely
help'es?. The whole fam
ily wore themselves out
caring for me. One day
mother and sister came
to my bedside, and said
I had but a day or two more to live. Tears r -lled down their cheeks as they
sobbed the news. The doctors had declared I was in the last stage, and no
human being could save me. I was willing to die, but before going to the cruel
grave, I wanted to go out and see my dearly be oved town of Sidney once mcie.
They told me such a thing was impossible that I would surely die before I got
back. But I insisted, and to gratify my dy'n.; wish, a carriage was fitted up
with a bed of pillows, and to this I was carried an 1 slowly driven around Court
House Square. I got home more dead than a ivo. Through the mercy of Provi
dence, someone brought a trial b 'ttlo ol" medicine sai.l to bo a consumption cure.
No one imagined for an instant it wai worili trying. But as a drowning person
grasps at a straw, so I tried t:iis medicine. I was better after taking t,. 1 doses.
Mother got more of the modL-inc and I took it, improving ail the time. T- day I
am as well as any reader of thi-t pap-r, a d the medicine t':at cured me was
Acker's English Remedy for Coasutnotio' I declare before God and man that
eyery word here printed is true."
This remarkable testimonial, on file in the office o. essr.i. V. IT. Hooker & Co., New York,
proprietors of Dr. Acker's Celebrated English Remedy, is vouched for by them, as well as by
prominent druggists of Sidney. Ohio. 4
