ST. LOUIS.
The man may he
able to whip the
lion single-handed,
but he is not taking
chances, and is not
going to disdain the
assistance of help-
ers with hot iron*.
The same is true of
a wise man who is
having a tussle with
ill health. It is
barely possible that he may have the natural
inherent resisting power that will enable
him to conquer disease without the assist-
ance of medicine, but 1m is not willing to
tike the chances and will not disdain the
help of the right remedy.
When a man feels out of sorts, when his
head is achey, dull and heavy, his body lazy,
his nerves jerky, his sleep broken, his ap-
petite finicky, his skin sallow, his breath
foul and his mouth had tasting, he is having
a struggle with ill-health. If he is wise he
will take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery. It gives edge to the appetite and
makes the digestion perfect. It invigorates
the liver. It makes rich, red, pure blood.
It puts vim into every organ and fiber of
the body. It drives out all impurities and
disease germs. It imparts the glow of
health to the skin and the vigor of youth to
the muscles. It tones the nerves and gives
refreshing slei p. it i>uii<is firm flesh, but
does not raise the weight above Nature's
normal. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases
of consumption. All medicine stores sell
it. An honest dealer will not suggest a
worthless substitute for the sake of a lit-
tle extra profit.
The most valuable book for both men and
women is Dr. Pierce's Cotn-
CL mon Sense Medical Adviser.

dred engravings and colored
