The man who suffers from these dis
orders and neglects them will soon be in
the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.
If he is naturally harrow chested and
shallow lunged, it will probably be con
sumption; if his father or mother died of
paralysis or some nervous trouble, it will
.probably be nervous exhaustion or pros
tration, or: even insanity; if there is a
taint in the family blood, it will be blood
or skin disease; if he lives in a new or a
low, swampy country, it will be malaria;
ii' he lives a life of exposure, it.mav bo
rheumatism. There is one safe course for
a man to follow who finds himself "out of
sorts " and suffering from the symptoms
described. It is to resort to Dr. Pierce's
Colden Medical Discovery. This medi
cine makes the appetite keen, corrects all
r!i rders of the digestion,' renders assimi
1 .:.:on perfect, invigorates the liver, puri-ii'-.-i
and enriches the blood and builds
l':r-n, healthy flesh and nerve tissue. It
en res almost all diseases that result from
!. -iifficient or improper nourishment of
t '.m brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat,
s.vi even lung affections, when not toe
far advanced, readily yield to it.
A man or woman whp neglects

for the better. ' We Mept on giving it and
before she had taken the half of one small
bottle she was well." . This remedy is for sale

it is especially valuable: sore nipples, chapped
