THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
The Secret of it Revealed.
Tho old philosophers had a dream that
there existed or could be compounded a
rejuvenating olixir, by tho uso of which
men could livo on and on in youthful
vigor and onjoymont. Somo thought
that there was a fountain of youth to bo
discovered, and so wont far afield to seek
it. They failed to find tho fountain, but
they found new lands. Others shut
themselves in secret chambers and with
crucible, alembic and retort sought to
distil this elixir. Thoy too failed, but
thoy created chomistry. Only a few
years ago Dr. Brown-Sequard was an
nounced as having at last discovered
this precious elixir. But his discovery
also failed under tost. And yet the olixir
of life exists. It is such a common-place
thing that wo overlook it.

The real olixir of life is the food wo eat.
All physical life is sustained by food,
and food alone. You can't livo without
eating. But you can eat without living.
Because it is not what is eaten which
sustains life, but only so much of it as is
digested and assimilated. That is why
physical weakness and wasting of the
body noint inevitablv to disfinsfi of tho
stomach and its allied organs of digestion
and nutrition.
NO MAN CAN BE STRONOEK TIIAN HIS
STOMACH.
In a condition of perfect health tho
measure ofa man's strength would bo
the quantity of nutrition contained in
the food eaten. When there is disease
of the stomach and its allied organs, the
measure 01 sirengm is tno quantity of
nutrition extracted from the food eaten.
Disease of the stomach ineansloss of
nutrition, and loss of nutrition means
weakness. That is why weak stomach
means weak man. Stomach "trouble,"
which is spoken of so lightly, is often
the root of heart "trouble," lung "trou
ble," kidney "trouble," etc. These are all
organs of the body, and when tho body
as a whole is deprived of nutrition be
cause of "weak" stomach, tho organs
which make up the body are, of course,
the real sufferors.
If this theory is not sound how can
we account for the cures of heart, liver
!?n&s' dn?ys,' e.tc" bv Dr- Tierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which is es
sentiajly a medicine for the cure of dis
ease of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition? Such cures aro
a matter of constant surprise to those
who sought only relief from stomach
"trouble" and found health for tho whole
body in the use of the "Golden Medical
Discovery."
"I had been afflicted for four years
with what tho doctors Called indigestion
and liver complaint," writes Mr. J. M.
Clark, of Heard, Tenn. "I had tried
medicine until I had given up all hope
of getting woll. I wrote to Dr. Pierce
and he advised me to use his 'Golden
Medical Discovery.' I commenced its
use at once, and after using two bottles
of tho 'Discovery' and somo of- Dr.
Piorco's Pellets I was able to do a reason
able day's work. When I commenced
taking it I weighed 15G pounds, and
when I quit I weighed 178. The 'Golden
Medical Discovery' i3 tho best medicine
for such diseases and to build tfp tho
constitution that I ever knew of, and I
tako pleasure in recommending it.
"You may publish this if you wish,
and if any ono doubts it being truo if
they will refer tome I will writ to them
myself, and if they will try it thoy will
bo convinced."
WEIGHT IS THE WITNESS.
Thoro is n witness to the soundness of
the cures effected by "Goldon Medical
Discovery," whoso testimony is unim
peachable. It is tho witness of weight.
There's no sentiment in the scales. No
imagination in tho pound weights. Thoy
deal absolutely with tho solid facts of
solid flesh. Whon a man is sick with
indigestion and liver complaint ho gen
erally loses flesh. Whon ho takes
"Goldon Medical Discovery" and cures
tho indigestion and liver
complaint his lost flesh is
regained. That was tho
case with Mr. Clark. Ho
gained twenty-two pounds
as the result of his euro;
twenty-two pounds' of
solid flesh, not flabby fat.
"For six long years I
suffered with indigestion
and my liver and kidneys,
which bathed tho best
doctors in our country,"
writes Mr. E.L. Hansen, of
Woolsey, Prince William
Co., Va. "I suffered with
my stomach and back for
'a long time, and after
taking a 'cart-load' ot
medicine from three doc
tors I grow so bad I coulft
hardly do a day's work.
Would have death-like
pains in the sido and blind
spells, and thought life
was hardly ,worth living.
I decided" to "cohsultr.
It. V. Pierce, and his staff of physicians.
Thoy said my case was curablo and I was
greatly encouraged. I began taking Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
'Pleasant Pollets,' as advised. Before I
had taken half of tho second bottle I
began to feel relieved. I got six more
bottles and used them, and am happy to
say I owe my life to Dr. Pierco and his
medicines. These words are truths, as I
live, so if this testimonial can be used
in any way to be of benefit you need not
hesitate to use it. I shall stand for the
Invalids' Hotel and surgical Institute as
long as life lasts."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
purifies the blood, and builds up tho
body with sound flesh and solid muscle.
It is tho best of tonics for those in
a debilitated and nervous condition,
speedily restoring thorn to vigorous
health.
Those who suffer from chronic dis
eases aro invited to consult Dr. Pierco,
by letter, free. All correspondence
strictly private. Address Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr Pierce's offer of free consultation
by letter, is not to be confused with tho
spurious offers of "free medical advice"
made by men or women without med
ical knowledge or training, and who aro
therefore incapable of giving genuine
medical advice.
The solo motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make the little more
profit paid by the sale of less meritorious
medicines. He gains; you lose. There
fore accept no substitute for "Golden
Medical Discovery."
NOTHING TO PAY.
