A STEADY DRAIN. Sick kidneys Weaken the Whole BodyMake Yon ill, Languid and Depressed. Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual dra inage of Ufeglvlng albumen from the blood Into the ® , urine, and the substitution of polaons • oua uric add that goes broadcast 9 1 through the system, sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of albumen causes weakness, languor, depression.

No crown awaited when he entered bis e lite i But hardship, poverty and bitter e strife ; r No mansion or throne by birthright he gained, r But honor .from nations his work obtafned. i Born for one purpose of making men 0 free So that all might enjoy sweet liberty ; 1 His life work .tho' hard, he never J complained But fought manfully till freedom was a gained. \ e Then like ? the ripe harvest of golden grain.

If ' people only realized the soundness of j that statement the majority might , live to a gootTold age like Moses, "the . eye undimmed, the natural -fo'ce un- ' I abated." It is in the stomach that the i blood is made. It'is from the stomach < that nourishment 'is dispensed to nerv e and muscle. If the stomach is "Weak" ' it can't do its whole work for each ' - part of the body If it is diseased the I t disease will taint the nourishment ^ which is distributed, and so spread die- < . ease throughou' the body. It was the realization of the importance of the 1 - stomach as the very center of health o and the common source of disease, j * hich led Dr. Pierce to prepare his , "Golden Medical Discovery." "Diseases which origina'ed in the stomach n must be cured ihrough the stomach." i . The soundness of this theory is proved , every day by cures of diseased organs, , heart, liver, lungs, blood— by the use 8 of the "Discovery" which is solely and ' singly a medicine for the bio' d and orn gans of digestion and nutrition. 0 Not a secret or "patent medicine" because ingredients are printed on the r label ; contains no aclohol, is purely vegetable. \ YORK STATE GROW!* FRUIT e and other nursery stock in large quan- • tities.
