But the soldier is selected ton the basis of stature, strength and stomach, fop the stomach stands for the genSral health and vitality of the man. A "weak n stomach means a weak man, and a weak man won't do for a soldier. I A weak stomach means a weak man because the) body is nourished by food, and unless the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition ace in sound health, the food will be im perfectly digested and partiallyi assimilated, and so the entire body will be insufficiently nourished. That is whir no man is stronger than his stomach. That is why; "weak " heart, "weak" lungs, "weak" kidneys and other forms of organic weakness are often cured! when the weak stomach is cured and the organs ire nourished into strength, j ' That xs wliy Dr. Pierce s Ooiaen Medical Discov ery cures many forms of disease seemingly remote from the stomach, by curing the diseased stomach in which thjese other diseases had their origin.

Hence, the ( supply of nourishment falls pelow the needs of a healthy body, and emaciation links itself with .disease!. The? great flesh-making and body building qualities possessed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are due to the fact that it cures the disorders and diseases of the digestive and nutritive systems, cleans out the choked channels of nutrition, abd so opens the way for the perfect nourishmenttof the body by food property digested and perfectly assimilatedT It is food which builds up the bodyj not medicine. No medicine can make flesh. Flesh is made from food. - "Golden Medical Discovery" drives the weak stomach power to prop erly digest fhe food provided, and enables the per fect assimilation of the digested food. For these reasons the j Disco very? is superior tp cod liver oil, emulsions, and invalid foods as a body builder, for children as f ell as men a(nd women. It increases the weight, notjby puffing up the body with flabby fat, but by buildjtng up the body with firm, healthy flesh; The remarkable promptness with which " Golden Medical Discovery " acts, is marked in the follow mg testimonial.: Your medicine helped me so much that I cannot praise it too highly," writes MrsiT C I.

I haL5 taken it long when I feit relieved, and hae not had a touch of indigestion or stomach trouble since. I hid been sick for four years and less than four bottles cured me. Some people that knew me before I began to take the Golden Medical Discovery ' tell me that they never saw sue a caauge in any one, ana mey aiso say they don t see bow 1 can do such large washings as I do now, when I had not none a wssning iort so long.- , "..:" -' ' ' ' '' ' ' .'.' !-' " .. ..' The relation; of other weakened organs I to the nweak" stomach is shown most forcibly by the wonaenui manner m wnicn wea lungs are; healed by "Golden Medical Discovery." This is a medi cine which strengthens the stomach and purifies the blood. What has a medicine for the, stomach and blood to do with the lungs ? Answer thatjquestion by asking another. What have the: stomach and blood to do with the lungs f ; 1 I V Why everything. There no life without blood, and there's no blood without food and food is prepared for blood making purposes in the stom ach. It is evident, then, that the " weak " stomach is inti xnately related to the weak lungs. All phy sicians recognize this.! tor con sumptives they prescribe" cod liver oil I and its emulsions. This is a food and nothing else. Its use is an at tempt to reach the : lungs by 111- nutrt stomach creased tion. But this treatment in trying to reach the weak lungs does nothing for the weak stom ach, and there fore attempts to cure the fruit of a disease with out touching the root of it, and that's why the treatment fails. "Golden Medical j Discov ery " heals diseases of the stomach and organs of di gestion arid nutrition, and so increases the nutrition of the body. .
