"Phe brain is also lcc clouded, the mina and judgment are effected, and many an evil deed or im:al pure thought may bfe directly traced to the impurity of the blood. No one can be well balanced in mind and body 3S- whose blood is impure. No one can di- have a wholesome and pure life unless pj the blood is pure. Foul blood cafi be made purp by the use of Dr. Pierce's in8 Golden Medical Discovery. When the act blood iB pure, body and brain are alike ;rk healthy and life becomes a daily haplM. piness. .
