WHiT WE GOFBOM NATURE.
Vitality From The Fields.
FROM the pure fountain of nature
flows the stream of onerjry and
health which renewe and invig
orates our race. In every pe
riod of the World's progress men and
women hare received the greatest
strength and inspirations direct from
nature. Not only do we get inspiration
from nature, but health as well. To
live in the open, in the sunshine, in the
fields and woods, drinking pure air
into the lungs, is best for those who
have the opportunity. For people who
are run-down, nervous, suffering from
occasional indigestion, or dyspepsia,
headaches, night-sweats, whose ma
chinery has become worn, it becomes
necessary to turn to some tonic or
Btrengthener which will help them to
get on their feet and put the body into
proper condition. For centuries it has
been known that nature's most valua
ble and health-giving agents are roots,
herbs and barks and berries, and some
forty yrars ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf
falo, N. Y., found a combination of
roots, herbs and barks, taken from
the fields and woods, and made into
an alterative extract, produced results
in the system which were satisfactory
in almost every case of stomach dis
order and bad blood. This medicine
was .used for a long time in his private
practice, and was so successful in cur
ing those diseases that Dr. Pierce be
gan to prepare it in quantities, and it
is now known the world over as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This concentrated extract of nature's
vitality purines the blood by patting
the stomach into condition, helping the
assimilation of food which feeds the
blood, and stirring the liver into activ
ity. Read what Airs. Hxper, of Red
Bluff, Mont., Buys :
"A year ago I was troubled with dys-1
pepsia; thonght at the time that I had
heart trouble and was expecting to die
at almost any minute," writes Mrs.
Lois Hooper, of Red Bluff, Mont. "I
made up my mind to write to Dr. R.V.
Fierce, which I did, and received a
prompt replv advising me to take his
rGolden Medical Discovery.' I took
six bottles, and can truthfully say that
I have neither heart trouble nor dys
pepsia now. I would advise all who
are suffering from either trouble to
writ to Dr. Pierce at once."
There is nothine that will ran an
much suffering and general disturbance
in the svstem as surely and insidiously
as will trouble with the stomach. The
distress of an acute gastric catarrh is
very severe, and often causes complete
Erostration. It is usually brought on
y some error in diet, passes otf in a
short time, but w ill return if care is not
used to avoid the cause of the irrita
tion. One of the first signs of chronic
stomach trouble is the loss of appetite.
This is frequently followed by heart
burn, sour eructations and headache. '
As soon as this organ becomes weak
ened, the whole systom suffers, and loss
of weight and strength show that the
body is not getting sufficient nourish-
ment. Without a healthy, active stom
ach the food taken into tlie body rannot
be properly cared for, and as all our
strength comes, of course, from the food
we eat. it follows that a healthy stomach
must be the foundation of nil strength
and energy. Many cases of so-called
heart trouble are simply aggravated
cases of stomach weakness. The heart
lies very close to the stomach, and
when the food taken in is not digested
properlv, but stagnates and ferments,
gas is formed, and this not only dis
tends the stomach like a balloon, but it
also presses against the heart and
greatly impedes its action, which'is the
cause of heart-burn. By the actio of
the decomposing materials, the walls
of the stomach are stretched and lose
tone, and are unable to secrete the
necessary fluids to digest the food, and
in this way the trouble rapidly becomes
worse and worse, and the muscle
walls of the stomach, which should
thoroughly churn and mix the con
tents, are not equal to the tapk. In
such a case a good reliable remedy will
often work wonders, and Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is unsur
passed as a stomach tonic. Bitters '
simply stir up the diseased organ to
further exhaustion, and alcoholic medi
cines dry up the blood. Dr. Pierce's
medicine, on the contrary, gives tone
to its walls, and the natural appetite
promptly returns. If you are suffer
ing from any kind of stomach or
blood trouble, vou can conlidently
expect the best results if you take
Ur. rierce s uolden JUedical discovery.
In case you are uncertain as to the
nature of your trouble, write Doctor
Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y,, and he will

' In the ongoing of nature there is In
ceiaant change; to the casual looker-on
ahe aeema at times to stand still, but the
observant notes variation every hour. The
average man hardly notices or follows the
gentle transition by which we pass from
spring time to harvest, though when it U
fully made he cannot fail to see that it
has come.
There is, however, one transformation
scene which takes place In the New Eng
land woods in autumn, of which no one
In the midst of it could fail to be con
scious. Sometime early In September the
warning of its coming appears; a single
maple branch In a mass of vivid green
suddenly turns crimson, and here and
there pale yellow appears. The gen
eral aspect of the country remains un
changed, the golden-rod catches and holds
fast the brilliant sunshine a lid whole fields
of fringed blue gentian reflect back the
deepest tint of the summer sky; here and
there in low ground a soft maple turns
to a pyramid of brightest red, and young
white birches begin to shade' their lusty
green to Just a suggestion of yellow. Tho
nights grow cool, and about the first of
October there cornea a frost. Then there
breaks out over valley and mountain side
perfect riot of entrancing color. The
maples vary from pale yellow to pink and
brightest red, with a greenish undertone,
the oaks from crimson and purple to rus
set brown, the chestnuts and beeches' anj
birches become amber and rich golden,
and scattered through their midst aro
patches and clumps of the1 Varied greens of
pine, hemlock and dr. The contrasts are

perfect. The earth, - chilled by the first
Coming of the frost, seems to have wrapped

two or three weeks the landscape remains
a scene of glorious beauty, such as no
artist ran reproduce or poet describe. All
the gorgeous evanescent tints of sunset have
been caught and held in the tissues of
the flaming leaves, and every lake and
placid pool duplicate the glowing picture.
Then come hazy, dreamy days, with soft
sunshine . and "caressing breezes, when
strolling along some winding wood path,
the light sifting down through the painted

beneath a fragrant pine on a carpet of
fallen leaves watch them come fluttering
down' or ' listen to the dropping nuts or
the far-off crowing of the crows. Bluejays
flit through the branches over your head,
the busy woodpeckers tap away on some
hollow trunk, the blithe chlcadeee twitter
their friendly notes, and you feel akin to
every living thing you see and hear, and
are conscloua with every breath of all the
beauty and peace that surrounds you.
These are the huntsman's days. Bear
and deer are wandering through the woods,
fat from their summer feasting; flecks of
duck and geese halt in their southern
flight by the lakes and rivers to rest and
feed, upland plover flit along the high
pastures, and woodcock and snipe haunt
the marsTiy places by creek and stream;
squirrels and rabbits abound; the grouse
come out into the old orchards, around
remote or abandoned farms, and at night
the wary coon comes down to forage in
the ripened corn. What pleasure can equal
the exhilaration, the abounding life to be
found In a tramp over the hills and through
the glowing woods with dog and gun on
one of these golden days? Linger on If
you may until they are numbered, for
they are but few at the most, for all too
soon November is here, and there comes
from off the cold Atlantic a fierce rain
storm, with high east wind blowing day
and night. As if by magic the trees are
stripped bare and stand swaying in the
devastating blast, their stark forma dimly
outlined againBt the dark sky.
The dead foliage, the sere and yellow
leaves are seized by the wild gusts,
whirled skyward and scattered far and
wide. Listen to Swinburne as he sings
of them:
The Night shakes them round her In le
gions, Dawn drives them before her like dreams.
Time sheds them like snows on strange re
gions. Swept shorewarO on infinite streams,
Leaves pallid and somber and ruddy,

The melancholy days have come; the
landscape look bleak and forbidding, the
damp chill searches out the very marrow

pressionable, and who can wholly resist
the Influences of nature, her depressed and
gloomy mood for the time being takes
possession of you and gives a somber cast
to all your thoughts. She stands bare and

For the purposes of this article the "aver
age American" is a man. He becomes an
entity through the blending of a farmer of
great stature, a laborer nearly half as
large, a groccryman or a big general super
intendent of a railroad, a still larger me
chanic or machinist In blue Jumpers, and
Anally a physlcisn of small Mature or law

Out of this blending of substance, to
make Ave men of even weight and stature
and with the same diameter of hat rim and
like quality of gray matter under their
hair, the power working the transforma
tions would have the average American
large Mrs He might be a little off in
color. His dla'ect would be slightly ofT the
normal. His ways of life, however, would
be the socepted ways of the country and
he would be recognized In a foreign port aa
a Yankee.
This average American would Indicate his
nearness to the anil. In spite of the fact
that other Industries have been taking the
men of the farms to the city out of all pro
portion In these last ten years, the average
American Is rural still. The makeup of this
average American might be reduced to per
centages of constituent parts from the fol
lowing table, showing how the 23,956.113
men of the country in gainful occupations
are distributed:
Agricultural pursuits 9.45K.1M

According to the tabulated figures above
the average American of the male aex, old

and a clear head. Up to the present time
he has been depending more upon his
muscle than upon his brain, and for some
time to come the proportion promises to
hold, save In farming. In ten years in the
United States there has been a loss of 2 per
cent of agricultural workers, and of more
than 1 per cent in manufacturing and me
chanical workers, accounted for In the In
crease of those in the professional services.

transportation.
This average American will be educated
to a considerable degree. One-tenth of his
constituent part will have been Illiterate In
the English tongue at the least, but an
equal distribution of the knowledge pos
sessed by the five classifications considered
will leave him with light enough to choose
his occupation and with intelligence enough
to pursue it if it be already found.
He will be close to 83 years old, consider
ng the occupations out of which he is to
come. In all the United State there are
fewer than 10,000 person who are 85 veers
old and over, and who are thus likely to
increase the average of his years through
phenomenal longevity.. In any case nearly

According to tho probabilities that are ac
cepted he should be In possession of It
within ten years, however, especially If It
be a farm home; in some of the larger cities
he would have small chance of ever owning
it. In round figures there are 17,000,000
homes In the United States, of which 7,500,
000 are owned by occupants with more or
less freedom from incumbrances, while
9,600,000 homee are rented by the tenants In
them. More than 8.000,000 of these homes
belong; to the farmer class.
More and more this average American is
tempted to the apartment house flat and
tenement of the cities. Thirty-one per cent
of the residents of New York are living In
homes whose roofs shelter three families
and more, and. taking Manhattan and the
Bronx boroughs, the percentage of apart
ment dwellers Is 44.5. In Chicago It Is only
19.7 per cent, but the percentage Is growing
steadily.
With reference to this average American's
place of residence, he is far less likely to
own the house in which he live If he casts
his lot with the political life of Washing,
ton. In, all the District of Columbia more
than three-fourths of all the homes are
hired, with Rhode Island ranking next,
where more than 71 per cent of the private
residences are rented.
Chances of Life.
There are some odd condition In these
buildings and portions of buildings that are
classed aa residences. One person 1 the sole

the other extreme there are 660,091 homes
with more than eleven members in the
household. In sections of the great weet
more than 11 per cent of the dwellings have
only one person as tenant, while In the
North Atlantio division of the states nearly
8 per cent of the total dwellings contain
families numbering more than eleven per
sons each.
Within a few week the census bureau
has Issued a bulletin dealing with the
chance of life of both men and women in
some of the large cities. For the average
American who takes up life in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton, or In the states of Massachusetts and
New Jersey at large, his age at S3 years
promise him about twenty-nine years more
of life In the cities, with thirty-two years

in Massachusetts or In New Jersey.
