For Want of a Nail The
Shoe Was Lost,
FOH WANT OF A SHOE THE
HOUSE WAS 1AJIED.
Every blacksmith knows that story of
the neglected nail, the cast shoe and the
ruined horse. In old country smithy's
you may see the legend rudely painted
or chalked on the wall as a reminder
to customers that It pays to care for
horses' shoes, and that a little neglect
may have a very serious result, But the
blacksmith Is, as a rule, like the good
deacon, who passes on the pastor's de
nunciation of his own foibles to some
one else. It never occurs to him to take
the sermon home to himself. The black
smith has for example a little touch of
"stomach trouble." His food seems to

But this man who knows and preaches
the danger of neglect in the loss of a
nail from a horse's shoe goes right nlong

and hundreds of cases arc fore-runners
of ft physical break-down.
DONOTHINO DOCTIUNK.
That's the doctrine of n gr:at many
Indolent people. They say "It will go
away after n bit" when cautioned to "do
something" for their ailment. Just
imagine a fnrnier looking over the fence
at the sprouting weeds in his corn and
saying "they'll go away after a bit."
Diseases are like weeds. All they ask
is neglect and they will grow and nour
ish. Neglect the first symptoms of dis
ease of the stomach and it will not be
long before other organs nro involved,
because every organ of the body Is de
pendent on the stomach and its allied
organs for nutrition. When the stomach
and other organs of digestion ami nutri
tion are diseased the food eaten is
not perfectly digested and assimilated.
Hence there is a loss of nutrition by the
Iwdy; a loss which shows itself in loss of
flesh, and reduced weight, and that loss
of nutrition Is shared by every organ of
the body, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys,
etc. As a consequence when the stom
ach Is diseased, the heart is liable to be
involved, or the lungs, kidneys or liver.
These facts emphasize the danger of
neRlect of what is popularly termed
"stomach trouble,"
The timely use of Dr, Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will generally result in
a complete cure of disease of the stomach
and other organs of digestion nud itutrl-

writes Mr. T. K. Caudill, of Montland,

do anything a good part of the time. I
wrote to Dr. Pierce about my condition,

He advised me to take his 'Golden Med

had finished the second bottle I began
to feol better. I have used nearly six
bottles and am well."

It's ii vinste of time and money to
experiment on medicines. If you are on
a journey to a certain town, you take
the road that will surely bring you
there. You don't turn aside and experi
ment on roads simply because they are
roads. The road you follow Is the road
which loads to where you want to be.
It's that way with medicines. When
you want the way which leads straight
cst and surest to health
you will follow the thou
sands who have taken Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical

perfectly and permanently

"It gives me great pleas
ure to inform you of the
benefits that I have real
ized from the use of your
'Golden Medical Discov
ery' and 'Pleasant Pel
lets'" writes Mrs. J. C.
I'ink, of Yost, Rowan Co.,
N. C. "Last winter I wss
so bad off that I thought
it impossible for me to live
until spring. I was taken
sick In January and was in
l . - pain all over, ine doctor
) tvvwas called, and said my
' r liver was out of order.
-"- He gave me some medicine
fjbut it dhl me no good.
I grew steadily worse, i
could not eat as much as
one bite of bread without
trrnnt tialll. and WSS SO
- hungry all the time that I
thought I would starve to
death. My hesd ached,
my Bhoulders ached. I
was cross. My brain failed
so much that I thought
I was almost insane, i
could not sleep rights only n short while
at a time. Would get up mornings so
weak nud nervous, I could scarcely stand.
In this way I suffered, I think, about two
months, when a friend of mine Induced
me to write to Dr. l'icrce for advice,
which I did. Ills answer was that I had
Indigestion and liver complaint, and ad
vising me to take hts Golden Medical
Discovery ' I followed the Doctor'a
directions closely, and in a few days I
could discover that I was getting better
slowly. Livery day I felt just a little
better, then I could begin to eat a little
light diet. Then I began to sleep a
little better at night and in the morning
would feel refreshed and rested. Next
I began to gather u little flesh, and then
I began to improve rapidly. I took
eight bottles of 'Golden Medical Discov
ery ' and several vials of ' Pleasant rel
icts,' and I felt that I was well enough
to leave off medicine and go to work,
which I did with pleasure. I have not
taken any medicine since except Dr.
Pierce's Pellets. I can eat anything and
